this month Lola Box is a perky bright orange-yellow sunshine, please do see the video here:

There are a lot of items isn't it?! And I'll be waiting for next week where Lola will replace the expired item with the new ones.
I've tried some of the product now and like Skin79 it will be on a different blog post ^^ But for the rest of the item, I'll share my personal thoughts here:
Clarins UV+HP11 SPF40 UVA UVB PA+++ Oil Free and Anti Pollution Day Screen Multi Protection. A milky salmon lotion which distributed easily on the skin for a velvety smooth feeling, a bit glossy but still comfortable to be used daily.
Clarins White Plus Total Luminescent Serum. A clear cool almost 100% transparent gel that smells so good and freshen up the skin almost instantly. Absorb so fast and leave the skin plump and lovely. I would love to use it everyday just for the texture alone.
Air Lift Toothpaste A simple toothpaste which have a properties almost like a minty chewing gum, keep giving me a fresh minty feeling up to an hour after brushing the teeth with it. The thick white paste is providing fresh breath, but I think I need more than just a fresh breath, like the one for sensitive teeth.
Masami Shouko Cleansing Sponge and Puff. Both work well like usual, but I like the puff better since it feels softer on the skin. I know the cleansing sponge help trigger skin simulation but sometime when rub too much during cleansing will irritate my sensitive cheeks.
The Face Shop. The Clean Face series, Toner and Lotion. A fragrant collection that tone and moisturize the skin in a light way. I can't say anything more from the 5 ml products.

That's it for now, see you on my next post regarding Skin79 and Make Over products that will be sent to my home by Lola Box ^^
Thank you so much!! Keep giving me surprises yaaaa.

The product is simple as it is a cleanser but I found some interesting facts and experience using it. As seen above the tube is almost all out ^__^ it is shown the product is loved.
-*-
The white cream is wonderful, from the lovely scent of white floral to the abundant luscious foam. It felt so rich and gentle on the skin, I must say I love the sensation it created on the skin, it helps removes all dirt, debris, sweat, grim and the result is still a very soft skin without striping the moisture off.

But when using makeup, especially the waterproof, I still need to clean them first before this one. Yet, compared to other foaming facial foam I've used, this one is the best so far for being so fluffy, refreshing the pores and gives the skin a healthy clean feeling that's just addictive.
especially mommies out there, mommy like myself, who bears the pregnancy and gain so much weight until all those marks are coming out.
I know the best way is to prevent it from happening but now, truth be told, I have my stretch marks and it's difficult to get rid of those nasty breaking lines.
Clarins’ exclusive Crowberry extract helps reduce the appearance of
stretch marks resulting from pregnancy, puberty or weight fluctuations.
Enhances the production of collagen fibers to boost skin’s elasticity
and resistance to future stretch marks. Soothes and comforts tightness.
Fragrance-free.
Use light, circular massage around the thighs, hips, abdomen and breasts
using the Clarins application method explained in the accompanying
product booklet.
And it is recommended by Clarins not to use the product alone, but with several other such as the Body Shaping Cream, Tonic Body Treatment Oil, etc.
I've been using it for a while and let's face it, 30 ml only last for a week. So, I can only review one week of usage. The white cream smells like coconut's flesh. Young coconut to be exact. Once touches the skin and with easy circular movement the cream is absorbed, leaving the skin feeling hydrated instantly but not greasy. I've tried a few other brands before, usually feels too greasy on the area applied with tons of shea butter in the ingredient list. Clarins Stretch Mark Control is not overwhelming, feels light on the skin but gives flexibility unlike other products I've tried.
The result of one week usage is the skin become moist, hydrated, calm, softer and smoother, but I haven't witness any significant reduction on my stretch marks.
Clarins Le Rouge Pearl Shimmer Lipstick - Emotion 105 - Make Up (Clarins)
A seductively sheer lipstick with soft, shimmery sheen Offers luminous color that lasts for all day long Protects lips against moisture loss & daytime aggressors Nourishes lips while keeping them supple & comfortable Brings a natural, sophisticated & charming look Dermatologist tested
and here's my review:
The highly shimmering lipstick for me is to be used with a brush, not directly to the lips and usually on top of another color, so the shimmering effect is like a frost bite on my lips. The light pinkish color is still too pale for me to use it alone. I must say I still love the moisturizing effect on my lips, it does stay on longer than the color.
All Clarins lover must have know that this is NOT a new product but you can still find it sold here and there (oh yeah, like the internet) but I'm not recommending them to be bought outside Clarins.
Mine is Emotion no 105.
The pinkish color is so light and more to the shimmering effect that if you smear it on your lips a lot of glittery shiny effect will come. Perfect for summer fun!
Being a chubby face, I must say I hate my double chin and wish for a more contoured cheeks. So today after making an appointment like 2 weeks ago, I finally be able to enjoy this consultation and get a free samples on the items.
I thought I only went there for a simple Q&As, give me some samples and that's all, I'm wrong! So wrong in a good way! I get a mini facial and coming with a makeup on meant I can also try their makeup remover. Take note I only have their Cleansing Gel and Truly Mate Range, which I just found out that I actually bought the wrong products for my skin type. The lady that assist me see that my skin is actually dry and only oily in the nose area, not completely oily just the pores are bigger hence sebum on the area are move actively seen -.-.
First she cleanse my face with One-Step Facial Cleanser, it is so easy to use and yet able to clean my foundations, powder, blush. Oh yeah, before this she clean my eye area using a special cleanser for the eyes.
Then she let me try Water Comfort, doesn't meant I need double cleansing it's just she said this is her favorite product so she thought I would love it too.....I DO!
The burst of peach is just superb, it's just lovely and bring freshness to any boring day. The best thing is my skin feels fresh and soft. Other one step cleanser usually either too oily or too dry. This one is just perfect. I'm not using makeup every single day, I like my skin to breathe and enjoy a fresh air, Water Comfort is perfect for me. And during traveling is just so right to bring it, hassle free and help calms my skin too.
After that is Scrub, a light gentle movement will do. I ask about the difference between scrub and peeling, she said actually none beside application.
Next is toning and after that is the mask. The lady applied a generous amount of HydraQuench Cream Mask, first since the texture seems heavy I'm a bit skeptical, she even applied it on my eyes and lips, I thought, really? Wouldn't be too heavy? It didn't! When she clean them with a wipes all the mask are taken away leaving my skin fresh and well....quenched ^0^....so good...
Her advice: better to use at evening when user is more relaxed.
An alcohol-free floral distillation in lemon yellow which refreshes, soothes, softens and moisturises.
Next is Shapping Facial Lift, with special direction on how to use it, please do learn from the pro, since I never have this kind of technique before to do at home. The white gel-cream is easily absorbed, the moment I spread it on my palm it become watery and light. I doesn't have an immediate tightening effect like other firming product I use, it's definitely interesting.
Now is moisturizing time, a Whitening Moisture Day Emulsion, that also so easy to absorb and feels light. Complete with SPF 20.
Last but not least is the sun protection, that so unique, it also help protect our skin from radiation like during usage of cell phone, computer, etc. The texture is surprisingly light, doesn't give me white-ish effect, light but high in coverage. Nice!
Going home after the mini facial is not empty handed, she gave me 2 sachet of
Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-drain Serum
This smooth, refreshing serum instantly lightens the face to reveal more refined facial contours. It firms the features, to "lift" and rejuvenate. The face is refined and protected from dark spots while the complexion is brighter and radiant.
