Partnering with The Star: Clove2 - Clinique is currently organizing a contest namely “Who’s that girl?”

With the idea of inspiring young women in building self confidence and to find their own sense of grooming personality.

Targeting especially amongst those aged 16 - 28 years old (within the range of contest requirement). However, this does not stop those who wish to seek advice from the Clinique experts for tips and tricks on how to pull off the look you desire.

The makeover focus on 4 different personalities which include “Laid-Back Luxe”, “Classic Chic”, “Fashionably Flirty” and “Downtown Cool”. A glance at the 4 women figures featured definitely reminds me of the series “Sex & The City”.

So, what are these 4 looks about? Which one suit you best? Now read carefully and choose for yourself. Personally I do think everyone posses some extend of adaptability and will be able to carry different look anywhere, anytime.

“Laid Back Luxe” is reflecting someone who are more of a free-spirit person, a modern day flower child. Liking the idea of free flowing dresses accessories with down to earth tones. If this is you, the look to go with will be a bronze-lit skin, natural pretty eyes and coral tinted lips. Wearing makeup like you have none.

If you think you might want to be someone over the cool side, “Downtown Cool” will bring you the idea of having smoky eyes pair with a sheer subtle lip for a effortless looking yet chic way. Smoky is not necessarily black or Goth looking - soft smoky can be done using deep shades of purple, blue and even brown or grey. It will remain feminine and soft but gives you the cool killer glimpse in another.

“Fashionably Flirty” will be your girl to glam look with flushed cheeks and glossy lips pair with super lashes. Dress in figure flattering skirts and sky high heels, I will say she’s super hot too. If you are someone more colorful do try this out.

Now sometime you may think being a “Classic Chic” is a little too conventional or boring. Being classic is about never about too much colors, it’s focuses on having flawless skin, natural eyes and a modern twist with super red lips. It gives you the “always-polished” and crisp looking charm.

What I choose was merely a choice based on my outfit of the day. I go with the “Laid-back Luxe” look and I opted for green to match my jade bangle instead of the more earthy brown. Knowing the Clinique team well, I requested Suzy who was one of the beauty consultant instead to gave me the gorgeous makeover.

A recent invite by SHILLS to its 1st Blogger event at Berjaya Time Square has given me the chance to know more about the products offer by this mega beauty from Taiwan.

With Pinky & Jean

During the event, we were shared the interest of the brand in being Gorgeous, Luxurios and Natural. Many of their products are developed through the understanding in plant extract and natural ingredient that are beneficial to the our skin.

A few of their star products include the Bio Active Stem Cell Combat Series which contains apple extract which helps to protect skin from premature aging and actively regenerate new cells. While these may be more suitable for those aged 25 and above, there are a few more new products that I find it rather fascinating.

In this hot and humid weather, our skin tends to secrete oil very quickly. It not only melt away our makeup but leave our skin feeling utterly discomfort and sticky. SHILLS newly introduce -5c Ice Whitening Skin Renewal Spray not only gives you the cooling effect, it also tighten up pores and restore moisture balance. Though it is not as cooling (-5c) as its name, the spray does soother the skin and keep you fresh from the heat.

It's so hot ~~~

My skin feel so cool now ^_^

Another interesting but extremely disturbing product would be SHILLS 3M Bubble Body Scrub. Feeling confused? Bubble? Scrub? The specially of this product is that the particle is very small in super fine bubble texture which allow easy penetration into the pores to remove excess oil and impurities. It contains papaya and pumpkin enzyme that gently exfoliated the dead skin cell.

Aaarrr ~ better get one now

One my favorites is their super best seller, the ANOSA slimming patch. Reason being would be the slimming effect and furthermore would be ease of use. It allows your body to burn away fats at any targeted area that you wish by just sticking the patch less than an hour. It is recommended to use the patch once a week and just like every other product you will need sometime before seeing visible result. I would suggest to get a box (8pieces) and use it in area like arm, thigh or tummy to get the best effect.
