Masquerade!

We have a little confession to make. We hoard facial masks like Gollum hoards the ring in Lord of The Rings. Especially the deep cleansing masks made with clay or earth. Why? Because clay, with its thicker consistency, will draw out the impurities and dirt that are deeply embedded in our pores that the usual cleansing wouldn't be able to reach.

According to a recent newsletter by The World Of Organic Skincare, mud and clay masks are great for balancing out oily skin – a view that is also echoed by Howard Donsky, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and staff dermatologist at Toronto General Hospital. 

According to Dr Donsky, “Clay masks or mud masks are worthwhile.”  However, he also cautioned that masks will make skin feel good and look better only temporarily.  Additionally, the darker brown the clay (mud), the more oil it can absorb. White or rose-colored clays, though, are gentler and work best on sensitive skin.  (Source:  The Doctors Book of Home Remedies)

We've try a wide range of them and here are the ones we felt that worked:

  1.  Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Clay Mask, US$35 (90g): Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Clay Mask is a holistic exfoliant and deep purifying cleanser for all skin conditions. The Herbal Extracts in a base of clay is to absorb skin secretions. The appearance of blemishes and blackheads of skin can be reduced, when dead skin cells are also sloughed away.

  2. Origins Clear Improvement, US$33 (100ml): When environmental toxins, dirt and debris get under your skin, its waste-filtering system gets jammed, pores get clogged, skin looks cloudy. Nature's complexion clean-up crew gets to the bottom of skins overcast condition and clears the way for it to act its best. Activated Charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, White China Clay absorbs environmental toxins, Lecithin dissolves impurities. Without all that ""stuff"" down there, skin ""breathes a sigh of relief"".

  3.  Decleor Clay and Herbal Cleansing Mask, US$40 (50ml): A cream mask enriched with a cocktail of herbal and plant extracts. A deep skin cleanser, it dissolves all impurities and helps cleanse the skin without dehydrating it, has a natural absorbent power, refines skin texture and clears the complexion. It leaves your skin clean and soft. Your complexion is clear and you feel wonderfully refreshed.

  4.  Borghese Fango Delicato Active Mud for Delicate Dry Skin, US$58 (430ml): Soothes and comforts skin affected by stress, weather or pollutants. Gives devitalized, time-worn skin a new surge of vitality with clear, youthful radiance. Moisturizes skin so dry, fine lines become less noticeable. Helps form and tone body skin, leaving skin looking and feeling refreshed, resilient, and purified.

  5. Sisley Radiant Glow Express Mask with Red Clays, US$81 (60g): The powerful absorbent properties of Clay, combined with extracts of Licorice, Wild Daisy and Rose Hips, gently cleanse the surface of the skin in record time, eliminating surface impurities that may dull the skin and absorbing excess sebum. The botanical essential oils of Camomile and Rosemary in the formula have purifying properites, enhancing the effects of the natural plant extracts. In a matter of five minutes at most, skin is cleansed and refreshed. Complexion is brighter, even and matte, and the skin is refined. The skin appears relaxed and smoothed and the face looks rested. Suitable for all skin types.
If you find your skin too itchy and dry after a clay mask application, throw on a hydrating mask like our bestselling Neutrogena Deep Hydrating Mask, US$18 (5 sheets) because just because your skin is oily doesn't necessarily mean it's not dehydrated. So be sure to moisturise your skin properly after using clay mask!

A smoky, metallic eye

Option 1 - Do it with neutrals
A smoky eye doesn't have to be full-on vamp. If you're an earth-tone minimalist, simply dust metallic eyeshadow over what you normally put on.

Cosme-de.com recommends:

Coffret D'or Beauty C Curve Eyes is the latest makeup collection from Kanebo. "Beauty Curve" series is designed to enhance the natural curves and contours of eye-makeup. This 4-color eye shadow set is featuring a glossy shine that enhances the C-curve from the eye area to the cheekbone to emphasize the eye zone and create large, dimensional eyes.

M.A.C Eye Shadow x 4 is a limited edition palette of four eye shadows in various complementary finishes as seen by artist Richard Phillips. Reflects the artistic mood of the Make-Up Art Cosmetics colour collection.

Option 2 - Use the darkest metallic shimmer as eyelinerTo make it even bolder, paint it across your whole lid. Powder shadow naturally smudges easier; liquids will give it a super defined line.

Personalised eye makeup. The advanced texture and the multiple harmonies of LES 4 OMBRES allow you to create infinitely varied and sophisticated makeup effects: matt, powdered, satin, metallic and intense metallic.

 Jill Stuart Brilliance Eyes is quad eye shadow compact with featherweight texture. Creates a veil of brilliance for soft, alluring eyes. Beautifully wearable colors and princessy packaging, a must have makeup item for you!

Queen of Essential Oils

You'll notice that a Decleor Aromessence serum-oil doesn't leave any stickiness. Solange Dessimoulie, who founded the brand in 1974, tells us more about essential oils.


How did you discover essential oils?
"I had pimples when I was young. Only essential oils helped as they have antiseptic and detoxifying benefits."


Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
"It's true somehow when some doctors say essential oils are aggressive on sensitive skin. But it depends on what you're using. The bottle may read 'lavender oil' but you never know which type the brand uses. There are so many kinds of lavender oil: some for skincare, some for perfuming the home... We have customers with red, sensitive skin but they have no problem with Aromessence."


So, can I mix my own essential oils?
"The process is like baking a cake. You can follow a recipe but it won't taste the same as your mum's because she made hers from experience and with love. At Decleor, aromatherapy is a science. For example, did you know the firming benefits from lemon oil are only boosted when combined with camomile, grapefruit and chrysanthemum oils?'


Here are some of our recommendations from the Aromessence range:


Aromessence Iris Aromatic Balm offers all the benefits of a made-to-measure aromatic night-care treatment. It is a deep-acting night emulsion instantly erases visible wrinkles, refines skin texture and maintains ideal moisture level. It is fast absorbing with its rich, melt-in texture.
With its lush, melt-in texture, AROMESSENCE BAUME DE NUIT YLANG YLANG offers all the benefits of a made-to-measure Aromatic night-care product. It cleanses and purifies the complexion and also helps to re-balance the skin, diminishes imperfections and reduces inflammation.
AROMESSENCE NEROLI is an elixir of 100% pure and natural essential oils specially formulated to comfort and treat skin exposed to daily stress. It is the quickest and most direct Beauty routine available to leave skin visibly smoother, softer and glowing with radiance.

A pure concentrate of essential oils carefully formulated to bring you serenity and well-being. This light, yet luxurious oil works in perfect harmony with your skin to envelop your body with an intensely soothing sensation, soften your skin and leave it silky smooth.


Discover the original sensation of a marvellously creamy with 100% natural essential oils, Decleor Aromessence Circularome Balm (Leg Relief) is a unique aromatic treatment that helps promote body's micro-circulation and stimulates energy exchanges within the skin. With every application, your body discovers a delicious feeling of lightness.

Brand rave... Benefit

Ahhh, as a typical girl, we just can't get enough of Benefit! What's not to like about the cute brand? It's fun, its packaging rocks, its products awesome and their names always amuse us to no end!

Benefit was founded in 1976 by a pair of twin sisters - Jean and Jane. It was a beauty boutique in San Francisco with a whimsical candy store atmosphere. "Who says makeup has to be serious to be good?" they said. The twins then successfully built Benefit Cosmetics into a global beauty brand, with over 2,000 counters in more than 30 countries.

These are our all-time and new favourite Benefit items:

We love this product so much! And we're naturally a fickle bunch, especially when it comes to cosmetics. But this stain, which we DO use on both our cheeks and lips for the most natural yet alluring blush and pout, has us hooked for five years now! We just keep going back to it. And despite using it every day, it lasts us for a good year and half per bottle - talk about value for money!

Psst, do you also know the legend behind Benetint? Jean and Jane created this in 1977 for an exotic dancer who requested something to make her nipples look pretty and pink. "The sexiest flush you can get from a bottle" soared to cult fave status... today it endures as a favourite of celebrities, makeup artists and girls all over the world. Well, we hear ya!


Benefit High Beam is a pink pearl liquid highlighter leaves a young, radiant, fresh complexion on all skin tones. Apply on top of makeup to your T-Zone area and cheekbones. For a sheer overall radiance, you can also blend it with your liquid foundation or moisturiser.

We've came to be acquainted with this product only recently but we're blown away by the natural subtle glow it provides when applied very sparingly above your cheekbones and at the inner corners of your eyes. There was a day where we had very little sleep the night before and just a dot of High Beam on our cheekbones and our eyes' inner corners, viola! Instant radiance!


Have you smelt this product and the rest of its range before? So fresh, so light - we feel a little smile curling up on our lips every time we apply it to our face. This eye cream fades dark circles and helps smooth fine lines for brighter, younger looking eyes. It contains a peptide complex known to help restore elasticity and firmness, a blend of hydrating botanical extracts including apple extract, known to help boost collagen, and loquat extract, known to help protect the skin from free radical damage.

With a big, bad brush and a rich, black formula, Benefit BADgal lash mascara is like wearing a set of false eyelashes without the glue. With perfect waterproof! After applying it on, we have gorgeous and seductive lashes - so dope!

If you want sexy, smoky, cover-model eyes and perfectly groomed brows... here you go! Benefit Smokin' Eyes Makeover Kit contains:
  • Pink Highlight Shadow 1.10g / 0.04oz
  • Pewter Base Shadow 1.10g / 0.04oz

Five-Step Plan to Healthy Hair

Have split ends become an everyday thing where you just cut it off when you see one? That's just a temporary measure and it's time to get to the root (pun intended) of the problem! When hair is so damaged that it snaps or splits, you need to take steps to savage it:

  1. Lay off the chemicals.
    Even the strongest hair can't withstand a full-on assault of peroxide and straightening solution. Talk to your stylist or colorist about how to give it a rest for at least three months (it may require a different cut or daily routine to camouflage roots or unwanted waves).

  2. Shampoo gently.
    Hair that's weak or damaged needs a moisturising shampoo. Wash as infrequently as possible, and unless hair filthy, there's no need to scrub hard - just rub shampoo into the scalp and let the runoff clean the ends.

  3. Don't stint on conditioner.
    Those weekly deep treatments some consider a luxury are now a necessity for you. Consider slathering them on every other day before shampooing then following the wash with a regular rinse-out formula.
  4. Protect yourself.If you can't lay off the blow-dryer completely, at least minimise further damage. Coat strands with a protective styling product, wait until hair is mostly dry (so you spend less time under the nozzle), use the warm setting instead of hot, keep the dry six inches from the head and don't point it on one area for too long. If you insist on flat-ironing, coat hair with a leave-in conditioner first.

  5. Stay out of the sun.
    UV rays dry out hair and ruin its colour. Before going outside, douse your hair with a leave-in sunscreen treatment - or better yet, wear a hat!
Here are our newest haircare products that promise to show your hair some tender loving care:
