Remember the Artistry launch I attended more than a month ago? Here’s something that I got — a 30ml tube of Artistry Intensive Skincare Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum.

Artistry Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum claims to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, and revive collagen and elasticity of the skin. It contains high-potency Retinol, a well-known anti-aging ingredient, that repairs damaged collagen and skin cells rebuilding skin’s elasticity and firmness. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) inhibitors control the amount of retinol, and deliver it to specific skin receptor sites where it can be most effective to intensively boost collagen. Moreover, it has Peptides and Vitamin C which also help in replenishing collagen and elastin; whilst Green Tea, Licorice, Apple, Seaweed and Allantoin prevent the stinging sensation that is usually associated with retinol.

To sum up, it promises firmer, smoother and younger-looking skin. You can notice the difference in as early as two weeks! Suitable for all skin types.

Artistry Intensive Skincare Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum is enclosed in a specially designed tube that keeps the retinol stable.

I’m worried about wrinkles or fine lines, since I don’t have any at the moment. Nevertheless, I’ve still given this anti-aging product a try. After all, prevention is better than cure.

To use: apply a suitable amount (pea size will do) to the entire face every night, alternatively during the first two weeks. It can be then used as a daily skincare product, or only during the evening after cleansing your face. It’s also recommended to use a sunscreen during the course of using it.

I’ve been using it religiously for more than a month already (before bedtime), and here are my insights.

Sturdy Packaging, Cone-shaped Nozzle

It may not be the fanciest or most whimsical skincare packaging I’ve seen, but I love its sturdiness and portability. I also love the cone-shaped nozzle tip, allowing me to get the right amount of serum without over-spilling it.

Lightweight Feeling, Suits Acne-Prone Skin (more…)

I would’ve posted this yesterday, but yours truly was a busy bee. August is indeed a month filled with work, work, work!

Anyhoos, here’s the second week of my Grand August Giveaway. Get the chance to win either one of the following:

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

I would’ve given this serum a year ago. But due to unforeseen circumstances, I kept it on hold. Bottle is still sealed for freshness!

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concencrate is a replenishing elixir of Pure Essential Oils and Distilled Bonatics to visibly rejuvenate stressed skin by morning. I underwent a 15-day challenge using this product.

L’Oreal Total Repair Night Essence, Repairing Treatment & Conditioner

L’Oreal Total Hair Repair is infused with Cement-Ceramide that promises to repair the top 5 hair problems — hair fall (due to breakage), dryness, dullness, roughness and split ends.

The L’Oreal Total Hair Repair gift pack includes the conditioner, repairing treatment and night essence for deep conditioning and extra hair nourishment.

Majolica Majorca Majoromantica Perfume

Part of the Fake Sleeping collection, Majolica Majorca Majoromantica is a limited edition  fruity-floral perfume. I already made a review here.

Whilst it’s my current favourite, I decided to let go of one of my bottles so I can share the magical scent to you!

L’Oreal White Perfect Moisturising Day Cream

L’Oreal White Perfect Moisturising Day Cream is packed with Melanin Vanish, a technological-breakthrough formula that helps reduce dark spots and visibly brightens the skin. Tourmaline Gemstone helps stimulate skin micro-circulation, giving your skin a more rosy white glow. It’s also packed with SPF 17 to protect your skin against UV-induced darkening which triggers the appearance of brown spots.

Garnier Light Complete Multi-Action Whitening Cream

Garnier Light Complete Multi-action Whitening Cream acts on dullness, dark spots, excess oil and acne marks for visibly fairer and clearer skin.

The gift pack consists of 20 and 40ml tubes.

Mechanics: (more…)

‘Twas around 10 in the morning, which felt like 4am to me due to my varying time zones and a busted body clock. I still felt so sleepy and groggy despite of being knocked down for about an hour or two. The hopeless insomniac (oftentimes hypersomniac) me refused to go back to bed nevertheless, since I’d be heading off to a press launch after that 1 second sojourn to dreamland.

I might have been all knackered up, but I resolved to dressing a bit more than the usual and donning some makeup on to hide my overt drowsiness.

Ha-ha! Pardon for the prosy introduction. Anyways, I attended Amway’s launch (or relaunch) of Artistry Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum last Tuesday. I had an intimate lunch with my seatmates, indulging on a three-course meal in Makati Shangri-la, whilst listening to Artistry’s Skincare Brand Expert Maggie Pepoy as she discussed how exactly the active ingredients penetrate the skin and restore its youthful glow.

Took a snapshot on my dessert with an oh-so-fab presentation

Artistry Intensive Skincare Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum specifically targets to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, and revive the collagen and elasticity of the skin with its Next Generation Retinol (a form of Vitamin A) and patented Targeting Complex.

I must admit that I’m not much of a worrywart when it comes to aging, particularly that of wrinkles and saggy skin. But, after seeing the dramatic results on those women who tried the product for four weeks, I’ve become much more convinced to try it myself!

It’s my second day going third today, and I’m satisfied so far as my skin texture is concerned — no redness, shedding or flaking. Maybe, I’ll wait for a week or two before I make a short review. 

Thanks to Virtusio for the cordial invitation!  x
