Pink Elle Reviews…

Bright and breezy cafes are the norm in Bangsar where people often go on lazy weekend mornings to hang out over a cup of coffee or to chat over yummy cakes and tea. Marmalade is one such cafe. Tucked away in a corner of Bangsar Village 2, the cafe is done up in rustic white wooden decorations and bright yellow cushions which gives it a lovely laid-back feeling. The highlight of the cafe are its brightly painted murals on the walls which feature a funky ferris wheel and cheery designs. I recently got a change to try Marmalade for two events and came away suitable impressed. Read on for my review below.

I gave Clarins a bad review some time back when I was very snobbishly ignored by their salesgirl when I went to collect my free sample. It was a shame she was so rude for I’ve heard that Clarins is a good brand but was rather put off by her attitude. Sometimes I don’t know why counter staff act as if the products they are promoting are theirs for how can you expect a potential customer to know if your product works without offering them some small samples to try?

Anyway, I decided to give them a second chance when they had a good promotion for their Clarins facial and I was glad I did. I found it a little short but enjoyed it immensely and it appears my skin did too for it actually glowed after the facial! During my facial I was told that my skin was really dehydrated, so much that fine lines were starting to appear! I’ve always known my skin to be dry but did not realise how dry it was and the mention of fine lines was enough to scare me! She recommended the Clarins Hydraquench Cream after my facial to try and as my usual moisturiser had ran out, I decided to purchase a bottle to see if it will really work wonders on my skin. Read on for my review of the Clarins Hydraquench Cream moisturiser below.

I battle spots every now and then but used to be glad that I did not have to battle with pigmentation patches as well. That was until I went to the Maldives for our honeymoon and came back with more than photographs and souvenirs. I came back brown as a berry (despite sunblock!) and gasp, two small patches of pigmentation along my cheekbones. I used to be a little wary of whitening products that claim to work but now with pigmentataion, I was quite ready to try anything so The new Vichy Bi-White Reveal Night Double Corrective Whitening Cream came at the right time!

I have also enjoyed flying or having transits in Changi Airport with their wide range of activities and shopping. However, I recently got a chance to fly out of the Changi Budget Terminal in Singapore when I flew Tiger Airways to Singapore and came away again rather impressed with the facilities they had. Read on for my review of the Changi Budget Terminal and differences between Changi Budget Terminal and our KL Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) airports.
