Finally when to check out the sunblock stella was talking about. Tried it on my hands, it was in a fluid/milk form, left a strong whitish cast which took a while to absorb. When it was finally absorbed, the whitish cast disappeared and skin didn't feel sticky or oily, slight fragrance too.
But i didnt get to see the ingredients list, so i might reconsider getting this.

CL, I personally feel the Lancome is way better that this. I thought the Chanel was a little too thick & it does make my face look white, which I hate.

I like their Rectifiance Intense SPF 15 good for under makeup, light-moisturiser. Nice!

I just bought Hydramax a light day moisturiser its also very light. Can't wait to start it!

hydramax is beautiful! can't emphasize that enough... it leaves yr skin nicely hydrated and silky smooth.

How's the Eclat Original (radiance revealing serum)? I am tempted to try it but it's RM195 :roll:

IMO, it did nothing cos i only tired a sample of it. The smell is nice though. Nothing great. :roll:

I have not tried the whitening sun block out but I was using its Precision skincare before switching to La Mer.

I used Gel Purete - a forming gel face wash. I prefer foaming gel than the cleansing milk that I have, Lait Tendre. I hardly use this. It's actually a make up remover for face and eyes. I am using Loreal for that. The forming gel leaves my skin fresh and soft. One rave about it is the protective moisturising film which my skin remains moistured even after rinsing.

I also tried Hydramax Balanced Hydrating Gel which has plant extracts like green tea, lemon balm. Good thing is it also contains vit E which helps to reduce free radicals. The next one I like is the Hydrating Vitamin Serum. It produces a beautiful scent and leaves my skin soft and tight. I normally use this under the moisturiser before any makeup. The bad thing about me is that if I don't makeup, I will not bother to apply anything at all.

For pimples, I am using its Blemish COntrol. It also has Vit E.

Feel like trying the Eye Patch or Pigment Control?

I like its whitening concentrated serum. Could see slight even-toning of my skin after finishing the gwp.

I've tested the hyramax cream? and found it quite sticky even on my hand. And it smelt strange. But was advised to apply this on top of my age delay rejuvenating serum. Can't stand too many steps

The SA also told me their newest eye cream (can't recall its name) is good for dark rings and fine lines. Cost around $80+. I'm contemplating to get this for a month already

Glossie --> You should try it! Overall, I am pretty satisfied with its products.

Latte --> Hydramax is sticky on you?? Which one did you try? There are two types of Hydramax: gel and cream. I think the Oil Free Hydrating Gel shouldn't be sticky. BTW, I love latte!

[Glossie]

Queenie -> Yep maybe I should. But switching will need time and more money (which I don't have). Why did you switch, if I may ask? I also wonder if the whitening range is better than Dior. Chanel is not too expensive though. If I wait out for Tangs 12% rebate sales, I can save lots.

i think Hydramax has a lovely smell maybe the tester was exposed . and yes the gel is light not sticky I recall. In fact their Refectifiance intense day lotion feels about the same that why i was pleasantly surprised , anti aging lotions could be this light!

Glossie --> I am a very flicker minded gal. I tried Biothem, Clarins, Netrogen (spelling??), Chanel. And now La Mer. If you notice, I am not a skin care person. I don't use toner, scrub or mask. I don't take care of my skin as much as my hair. I don't go for facial. Only twice in my life by my sister. The only thing that I used diligently is a moisturer. So a good moisturer is very important to me.

Vit C --> I love the smell!!

[angeldiane]

does anyone know the prices for these?
- aquamousse and gel purete
- hydramax cream
- hydraserum

are they suitable for dry skin?
TIA!

The radiance revealing serum do nothing to my skin too and it contains sparkling particular so I guess the radiance it gives is just cosmetical.
I've tried the hydramax gel and it is great however the cream type broken me out. I'm also interested in the hydra serum but it contains alcohol.

[latte]

Glossie , I love the kopi as much as I love milk too! My fav is the caramel latte from Coffee Bean
I think Kaza has raved about Chanel's whitening mask before, maybe you want to check that out too. As for the Hydramax, I guess vit_ cit could be correct, probably been over-exposed that it has turned rancid? Not too sure if its the gel or the cream, I'll use the cream sampler next month. Must finish my current stock first.

I can safely declare that most if not all of us Cotters (and girls) are fickle-minded.

Perhaps you're very blessed with good skin so you seldom have concerns like muddiness, pigmentation, etc. It's good that at least you're diligent with ONE thing. I hope you found your HG moisturiser in LM. I also have this and use it on alternate days.

Hahaha, I knowwww!

Not any more dear.. I have zits and strange-looking dark spots. Don't know what they are. Don't look like zits or blemish. And they just don't go away. Think I need a good concealer.
