Cx Formulation is an advanced in-clinic formulation that combines the power of biological active ingredients, natural plant extracts, antioxidants and a bio-active delivery system, offering the best performance for immediate and visible results for various skin problems. To read more about us, click here.

I was contacted by Selina from Cellnique to become part of Cellnique’s bloggers community and do products review on my blog. She asked for my skin condition or my skin concern so she could send the suitable products for my skin condition.

My main skin concerns are:
  • dry skin
  • large pores
  • little signs of aging (fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth)

These are the products I received:

Amino Collagen C Intense Set
Advance Bio Renewal Serum
Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion

I've been using these products for about a month now, and I think it's time I share my opinion with you.

Let's start with some "before and after" pictures:

 Before

 After

I don't know if you can see a difference, but for me, there's definitely an improvment. My skin is much clearer and radiant, the pores on my nose and chin are smaller, and my skin is less dry.

These are the guidelines to use the products in my daily beauty routine:



Amino Collagen C Intense Set



Price: US $96.00/10ml x 2


The claims:



How to use:



Ingredients:



Pros:
  • doesn't really have a scent
  • very light texture
  • absorbs quickly into skin
  • my pores are noticeably smaller after a few weeks of use
  • I noticed improved skin texture


Cons:
  • Intense I stings and burns sensitive skin
  • the dropper dispenser leaks 
  • didn't not get rid of all of my dry skin patches
  • expensive

What I think:

I had better results with Intense I than with Intense II. When I look at the pictures I took before beginning this routine, I can really tell that my pores are smaller, especially on my nose and my chin, and I find this truly amazing because I've never used a product that gave similar results. However, I was scared of using it because it stings and burns my dry skin like hell (even when I used Intense II first, as they suggest for sensitive skin), so I ended up using it only on my nose, chin and cheeks. Intense II did not get rid of all of my dry patches, but it significantly moisturized my skin.


Recommend? yes

Rating:


Advance Bio Renewal Serum


Price: US $51.00/30ml


The claims:




How to use:




Ingredients:




Pros:
  • thick and creamy but fluid texture 
  • the scent reminds me of vanilla yogurt

Cons:
  • not moisturizing enough
  • didn't appear to have done something to my skin
  • expensive

What I think:
I didn't notice anything special after using this product. I didn't notice a "fresh, radiant and healthy looking skin". This product didn't appear to have dissolved pore clogging debris as I don't see a difference regarding the blackheads on my nose and chin. And I'm not sure if it reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because the only fine lines I have are around my eyes and around my mouth.

Recommend? no

Rating:


Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion



Price: US $73.00/30g


The claims:



How to use:



Ingredients:




Pros:
  • doesn't really have a scent 
  • my skin is noticeably softer after use
  • creamy texture

Cons:
  • not moisturizing enough
  • isn't absorbed quickly enough into skin
  • a little greasy
  • expensive


What I think:
This cream moisturized my skin a little, but not enough. As it is anti-inflammatory, it calmed the redness on my face cause by dryness. I like the creamy texture, but it doesn't sink right into the skin. However, I appreaciate the fact that my skin is noticeably softer after use. As


Recommend? yes

Rating: ★★

Disclaimer: These products were sent to me for review purposes, and the fact that they were free absolutely does not influence my opinion.


Stay tune for my next post tomorrow because the people from Cellnique are so great, they would also like to offer free samples of Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion to my readers! Details to come tomorrow!

    Price Report for International Branded Fragrances & Cosmetics Warehouse Clearance Sale 2010


    This sale started in Corus Hotel Crystal Ballroom, Level 1 from 10am to 6.30pm

    This sale is running from 28 July to 30 July 2010.



    So I went during my lunch time as it was nearby my office. Surprisingly there was not much crowds compare to last year, maybe due to the reason they just held the same warehouse sale in early April.

    Like usual, handbags are not allowed in the warehouse sale, so they asked you to put your bag into the plastic bag before they tied it up.



    There were 2 counters (one for cash another for cash/credit card transaction) operating during lunch as the person incharged told us that some of their staffs went for lunch already.

    Since the crowds are quite small this time, so the queuing period is quite fast.

    Below are the price report for this warehouse sale, I guess I cover more than 90% of the cosmetics and 80% of the perfume as some of it do not have price display.

    And I spent 2 hours editing more than 60 pictures before posting!

    Now eyes damn tired. O.O!


    Below are from Paul & Joe's counter





























    Note : There is a limited choice of Paul & Joe skincare available here however the pricing are more expensive compare to last year. And the prices are not being displayed and need to check with the SA herself.


    Below are from Givenchy's counter






















    Perfume
















    Guess what I didn't buy anything for myself ( really no cheating!) this time but bought some stuffs for my fellow customers/readers.

    And I met one annoymous reader named Jessy Lee (almost same name with me, except with her Y) from Klang, was shock when she said hello to me.. and i was like errrr.. haha anyway we have such a good chat and went for lunch after that! Well .. see you girls those (annoymous) should come say hellooooo.. I am very friendly and wont bite you okay!!!!


    Summary : As overall, the prices have increased this year especially for Paul & Joe products, one of the SA from Pavilion's counter which I recognized her from previous sale told me that this time around their products manufacturing date starts from 2009 and hence the price of increase. I did realized their packaging is newer this time. Also take note that there is no tester available for skincare & cosmetics (whether its Paul & Joe or Givenchy), so do try out your colors first at the counters before coming to the sale. Also worth mentioning is that this time around, there are new collection from Givenchy that are available.. if not mistaken 50% cheaper than the counter. Also Givenchy's counter is doing promotion whereby if you buy 2 of the same price products, you can get a cheaper price.


    (click to enlarge ya)

    Also do check out the parking rate by Corus Hotel, it's Rm5 for the first hour and every subsequent hour is RM2... its kinda pricing.. Nearby parking cheapest also RM3 for the 1st hour. Perhaps taking Putra LRT to KLCC Station to go the warehouse would be a better choice.
