My 5 All Time Favourites For May 2012

Hello everyone, yet another month has gone by – nonetheless, I have another set of my 5 all time favourites for you today. I remember starting this series of favourites exactly 2 years ago – I hope you have enjoyed them.

DIOR Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm is one of my favourite lip items this month. I am loving it and I use it almost everyday. According to Dior, this sheer lip balm “responds to the colour chemistry of your own lips to create a shade uniquely yours”. Yes, it does. It applies sheer, almost transparent but changes into a delicious, healthy, fresh pink colour on my lips.

It is said to “moisturize, sun protection and enhance your own natural lip color instead of hiding it”.

It contains SPF 10, mildly scented and comes in a translucent pink cap, just like the Dior Addict Lipstick and Dior Addict EXTREME – ultra chic and portable. Texture is smooth and glides onto my lips effortlessly, it feels light and comfortable all day, neither too sticky nor drying.

In Love With My Lipstick

Everyone is waiting for it… A friend of all times, for any occasion, available in a multitude of stunning shades.

Its talents? Making colour a game, an amusement, a whim. Being able to adapt at will and custom change to match every desire or mood. Delightfully sophisticated one day, wickedly flirtatious the next… The texture? Like a second skin, with added shine. The look? A cute, yet luxurious design.

In short: love at first sight.

Lancôme presents an instant must-have: a lipstick able to follow women through an entire day and night, wherever life might take them. An irresistible ”prêt a porter” lipstick: Rouge In Love.

The Renanthera Clarins Christian & Olivier Orchid + Lucky Draw

THERE’S A NEW BRANCH ON THE FAMILY TREE

Clarins, the European leader in premium skincare, proudly announces the birth of the first Clarins orchid, the Renanthera Clarins Christian & Olivier. The new family member, a fiery crimson orchid, made its official debut at the Clarins’ Orchid Presentation, in Singapore Botanic Gardens’ Burkill Hall.

The Clarins Orchid is a new hybrid that has been crossed from an award-winning Renanthera hybrid bred in the US and another outstanding Renanthera hybrid from Malaysia. This spectacular cross bloom was specially bred by Singapore Botanic Gardens as a tribute to Clarins, for its continual efforts to support and raise awareness of sustainable development and biodiversity.

These efforts have resulted in projects with the Singapore Botanic Gardens’ like the bi-ennial Singapore Garden Festival (SGF) since its inauguration in 2006. At the SGF 2008, Clarins created two gardens: A Garden of Love, where visitors could learn about plants like ginger and mint, which are found in the brand’s beauty products and a Learning Garden to teach children through play about environmental conservation.

The orchid honour to Clarins is especially significant too because it is the first time that a premium skincare brand has been gifted with its own orchid by the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
