L’OCCITANE Spells The Magic Cast of Provence This Christmas with Two New Limited Edition Fragrance Collections: Magical Leaves & Marvellous Flowers

Abracadabra! As Christmas approaches, the time has come for L’OCCITANE to cast a festive spell over us. And spellbound L’OCCITANE shall be, captivated by two new fragrance collections. To step into the legend, allow yourself to fall under the spell of the sparkling, luminous compositions of the Fragrance Merchant. The limited-edition faceted bottles, dedicated to Marvellous Flowers and Magical Leaves, will capture everyone’s heart this Christmas.

The Legend On The Fragrance Merchant and The Wild Olive Tree

In Provence, the mythical Fragrance Merchant is known as a magician of sorts thanks to his wondrous fragrance creations.L’OCCITANE's legend takes place in December, on a cold winter’s night, when the Fragrance Merchant joins his peers for the winter solstice celebrations. Their meeting point is on the edge of the forest, and the young man is the first to arrive.

Suddenly, his eyes are drawn to a ray of light and he steps into the thick undergrowth of the forest to find where it comes from. Little does he realise that with every step he takes, a trail of spring flowers blossoms in his wake.

The dead leaves begin to turn green and nature starts to breathe life again. Suddenly, he spots a wild, thousand-year-old olive tree bathed in light amidst the oak trees. The Fragrance Merchant reaches for a gilded wooden wand lying at the foot of the tree but as he grasps it, the wand slips out of his hands and lodges into the trunk of the tree. Within moments, the tree is covered with young green shoots, releasing the scents of verbena and hazel. Soon the branches are enveloped in garlands of fragrant pink flowers. The legend of the perfumed forest spreads to the four corners of the world, telling folk everywhere of two new fragrant accords: Marvellous Flowers and Magical Leaves.

With the festive season approaching, L’OCCITANE has chosen to house its new fragrances in precious, faceted bottles that reflect the shine and sparkle of Christmas. As for the boxes, pink was chosen for Marvellous Flowers, green for Magical Leaves. Olivier Baussan, the founder of L’OCCITANE decorated the boxes for both collections with a shower of shimmering stars because after all, to create a fragrance, you have to be a magician!

Get Rocking with Rich, Jewel Lips - Maybelline the Jewels

This Fall/Winter 2012, fashion takes on a rich, jewel tone. From Paris to Milan, London to New York, designers sent models down the runway in luscious plums, amazing amethyst and deep wines so breathtakingly beautiful.


Taking a nod from fashion, Maybelline New York lets you embrace this hot color trend with its latest range of Color Sensational lipsticks. Always ahead of makeup trends, the No. 1 makeup brand in the world and in Malaysia introduces its most rich and rocking range of lipstick ever – The Jewels by Color Sensational!

Yet again, as the global authority in makeup colors, Maybelline New York sets the trend for this season’s deep, rich sultry lips that will surely turn heads your way.

Deep colors are often challenging to wear, with hues sometimes too dark that they appear gothic-like and formulas too matte that they leave a harsh-looking finish on the lips. It’s no wonder why many women shy away from colors like plum, maroon and dark violet when it comes to lipsticks.

I was given Maybelline The Jewels in 1432 Rose Quartz to try

All-natural healing oil reaches Malaysian shores – Marula Oil

Do you know what these are? They are the kernels (nuts) of the Marula tree. They could be extracted to Marula oil which is traditionally used in cosmetics. Marula oil, an East African product long-renowned for its superb anti-aging and healing properties, is now available in Malaysia as part of the Leakey Collection.

Thanks to Fiona, I and some blogger fellows had the chance to meet the co-founder of Marula oil, Mr. & Mrs. Leakey in a lovely morning last month at Delicious, Mid Valley.

Mr Philip Leakey has very interesting background, he was raised in both Kenya and Tanzania, and in 1979 became the first and only white Kenyan elected to Parliament. In 2002, Philip founded the Leakey Collection with his wife, Katy. Mrs. Katy Leakey was born and raised in southern California and relocated permanently to Kenya in 2001. They are friendly and down-to-earth, and have shared a lot of wild experience with us during the blogger event.

Now, back to the core product, the Marula oil. Marula Oil is wild-harvested from marula nuts in East Africa and cold-pressed to retain its full goodness. Marula Oil is an all-natural product of the Leakey Collection, a lifestyle company focusing on fair trade enterprises.

Recall your timeless baby skin with K.I.S.S.E.D by Kinerase®

Ageing is an inevitable process, and women are taking more active steps to age beautifully. Everyone ages; The growing importance of ageing well & beautifully. Do you want to recall your baby skin where there are no photo-damaged, wrinkles; skin is as smooth and firm as a freshly hard-boiled egg white, and no pigmentation?

Leading professional cosmeceutical brand, Kinerase®, started its mission to help Asian women realize their desire for timelessly beautiful skin, with Asia’s largest clinical study - the Kinerase® Innovative Skincare Study (K.I.S.S trial).

Over the 12 week K.I.S.S trial, 275 patients in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan were assessed by 30 physicians over regular intervals at week 4, 8 and 12. Their aim was to test the effectiveness of Kinerase® Cream containing 0.1% Kinetin in enhancing Asian complexion on real patients, with inspiring results.

After just 12 weeks, patients and physicians were at most to see an improvement of fine wrinkles by 38%. Other benefits included a 37% reduction in skin blotchiness, 36% reduction in skin roughness and 34% improvement in overall skin condition.

In Malaysia, the results from the patients were effective with the following skin improvement:

I. 97% of patients reported a reduction in the severity of photo-damaged skin

II. 96% of patients reported a reduction in skin roughness

III. 97% of patients had a reduction in mottling/ blotchiness/ pigmentation

IV. 89% of patients witnessed a reduction in fine wrinkles

This is a marked improvement on earlier Kinetin studies conducted in America, where dermatologists reported an improvement of fine wrinkles on Caucasian skin by 13%, demonstrating the increased efficacy of Kinetin for Asians.

Conducted under strict biomedical perimeters, 98% of Asians who participated in the cosmeceutical K.I.S.S trial described their experience with Kinerase® as positive, with skin looking healthier, younger and suppler. They also reported that skin roughness, mottling, blotchiness, brown spots and fine wrinkles were significantly diminished within 12 weeks of using Kinerase® Cream.

The K.I.S.S Trial is the first time a cosmeceutical brand has conducted an Asian-specific study, and the results assure patients and physicians of the efficacy and safety of Kinetin on Asian skin.

98% of patients experienced a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and other skin benefits after 12 weeks of using Kinerase®.
