Envie De Neuf's New Counter at Isetan Scotts

I was invited to visit the newest and the most spacious EDN (envie de neuf) counter at Isetan Scotts  level 1. I love the chic and clean decor of this swanky counter where you will immediately feel at ease when visiting them or getting a product demonstration done by their experienced consultants.

There's even a table behind me to my right where you can sit comfortably to do a skin analysis or just have a chat with the consultants on your concerns on skin care.

I lugged back so many of their new products and I cannot wait to try them all. Check out what they are at the end of this post.




Of course, I had to take some pictures with my favorite items.This is the Fullerene C60.  My first must-have item.
Read more about it here : Fullerene C60




And Pure Hyaluronic Acid Essence. My must-have item , especially before makeup.  Read more about  Pure Hyaluronic Acid


And here are the 2 two latest products launched in conjunction with the opening of this counter on the 4th May 2012.

This is one of the latest product, the Thalasso-Decompress Eye Mask.

Envie De Neuf Eye treatments

I think I have found the solution to tired eyes, smile lines , wrinkles and saggy cheeks without going under the knife.............. yet.

And here are the two amazing products I have found to stall the time of all of the above before you think Botox or dermal fillers.

Introducing one of the best-sellers of the Envie De Neuf skin care line,

Platinum Lineless Eye Mask
(all skin types)

 I was given many of these eye masks to try out last year before my endorsement with EDN (envie de neuf). This specially designed butterfly shaped eye mask sits nicely under your eyes and extends into your cheek and temple area. So you do not just benefit with just an under eye treatment like most eye masks are made to be. The entire area the mask covers will be brightened and lifted. The claim of giving an instant lift and brightening of dark circles is not unfounded.
I tried it on a person with one of the worst case of dark circles, my husband, and the effect was astounding. After just 15 minutes of the using this eye mask, his undereye dark rings seem to be  'concealed & highlighted' with what I would do at my studio, with make up. This is really something, I told myself. But the skeptic in me decided to hold my review till the next day to see how long this 'brightening, highlighting and lifting' effect will last. Lo and behold! He looked refreshed throughout the next day because of his less tired looking eyes!

I like to use this eye mask on clients and myself if I think we need an extra 'lift and brightening' before a makeup session. Lines will be less obvious and most obvious would be the brightening effect which really last and last. The lifting effect helps to create happy eyes and smooth , plumped up cheeks which will gives an instant glow.
Best used at once or twice for maintenance.

About Envie De Neuf Platinum Lineless Eye Mask
Product Description
Envie De Neuf Platinum Lineless Eye Mask takes just 15 minutes to rejuvenate the eye area. This powerful anti-aging mask is specially designed for the delicate eye area and contains Peptides to instantly relax wrinkles, reducing their appearance. Added Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone reduces the appearance of dark under eye circles while Collodial Platinum stimulates cell regeneration and plumps the skin to further reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Envie De Neuf Platinum Lineless Eye Mask leaves younger looking eyes. The eye mask is suitable for all skin types.

Instruction
Apply after cleansing and toning. Place the eye mask on the under-eye area as shown on the sachet and make sure it adheres entirely to the skin. Leave on for about 15 minutes, then remove and discard the mask. Gently pat the remaining essence till absorbed. No need to rinse. For best results, use the eye mask once or twice a week.



Next up, daily use of eye serum.

DNA Reviving Eye Lift Serum
Anti-aging
(all skin types)




There are three kinds of people on daily eye treatment products.

The first would be ' I am still young and have not seen any lines forming yet so I do not see the need for eye treatment products'.

The second would be ' I have tried so many eye treatment creams, serums, gels and they all cause milia seeds which are painful to remove, so I have stopped using'

The third would be me. ' I have started using eye treatment products in my early 20's as part of my skincare regime to prevent lines from forming'

So which one are you?

There may be others who may outright tell me that they are just plain lazy to use it. Well, take my word for it. Start using before you regret it.

Let me share with you how important we need to include eye treatment products in our daily skincare routine.
The area around our eyes and lips are the most sensitive and most gentle areas. We need to show them more care since tugging and rubbing of the eyes are common things we do, eg, when removing eye makeup. Besides that, insufficient sleep or spending lots of time infront of the computer can also cause irreversible effects which make our eyes look tired.
Our eyes are the window to our soul, the first thing you will notice on a person's face would be the eyes. Do not wait for lines to form before trying to 'fix' it. The fact is once the area around the eyes are saggy or if eye bags are form, you would need to go under the knife or get some aesthetic help to lessen the tired appearance. But they will return again, if you do not take care of them. So here is the reason, why we do need to include eye treatment products into our daily skincare regime.

This very light gel serum is non greasy and will not cause any milia seeds if you belong to the second group of people who shun eye treatment products.

Use this together with the Platinum lineless eye masks, and I promise you, your peepers will thank you.

Endorsement of Envie De Neuf skin care by Joiè


Envie De Neuf in Joiè The Makeup Bar

As many of you know, I am constantly on the prowl for new skin care innovations and beauty products. I will never put my name to any product without personally having tried and tested them, so I am very excited to share with you what I have found this time. I think I have struck gold when I discovered Envie De Neuf!
Envie De Neuf's Philosophy :
"Envie De Neuf is French meaning "Envy for New". The creation of Envie De Neuf Cosmetics (EDN) derives from our understanding that everyone is always searching for that new look / new beauty. Not content with merely keeping your skin in its existing condition, we want to help you regain and obtain the best possible, non-stop beauty for your skin and body. With EDN, prolonged youth and beauty is not just a dream. BE ENVIED! We incorporate the latest advancements in anti-aging technology from Europe, Japan and the United States to give you the most effective skin care treatments available. With solutions focused on the signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity, EDN ensures each of our products is formulated to activate skin cells, promote clarity of skin tone, contour the face and condition the skin."

I was first introduced to three of their best-sellers by Envie De Neuf's local distributor, Mseeds. They were so generous to give me loads of samples to try out before I decide if I like them or not. These three items have now become my skin care staples
and I must introduce you to them.


Pure Hyaluronic Acid Elixir (serum)
"When skin loses moisture, you can restore what's lost with this lightweight serum. Pure Hyaluronic Acid Elixir plumps the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's formulated with sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA, which both prevent water loss in the skin, amino acid compounds that help the skin to be more resilient, and beta-glucan, which boosts collagen production."


Why do I love this? This serum helps to instantly boost moisture from within to prepare even the driest skin (fills in fine lines and wrinkles) for that flawless makeup application. This serum holds the key to long lasting makeup as it helps to provide and retain moisture. I really love how it makes my skin feel baby soft. I now am privileged to use them on my clients prior to a makeup session.


Fullerene C60 Youth Recruit Complex
"Your environment wreaks havoc on your skin every day, but that doesn't mean you have to leave it defenseless. Fullerene C60 Youth Recruit Complex is a daily moisturizing treatment with the powerful antioxidant Fullerene C60 for absorbing free radicals before they can damage your skin. This anti-aging ingredient also stimulates the production of collagen, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and brightens the overall skin tone. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide plumps wrinkles to give your skin an instantly smoother appearance, and Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein, derived from pearls and seashells, provides moisture that lasts all day. "
 
 
 
 
This super lightweight, skin-tightening moisturiser is the perfect solution for our warm and humid weather. This gel-like moisturiser turns to water beads when applied and quickly gets absorbed into the skin. There is absolutely no sticky feeling which amazingly also helps to keep oiliness at bay (though it is not mentioned before as the product description, this would be my personal review about the sebum control). It provides around the clock moisture which is also very important for makeup to last through.



Platinum Cellwhite Hydromask
"Don't let age spots, sun spots, melasma or other forms of hyperpigmentation steal your youth. Platinum Cellwhite Hydromasks feature alpha-arbutin, an extract from the bearberry plant that naturally lightens discolorations for a brighter, radiant-looking complexion. This intensive face mask also helps to improve the appearance of wrinkles with collagen-boosting palmitoyl tripeptide and collodial platinum, as well as moisturizers squalane and sodium hyaluronate. Transform your skin back to its youthful state!"
 
 
 
Instant whitening and hydration! And I really mean instant, in just one application. I could not believe it the first time I used it before doing my makeup for a dinner event. After removing the face mask just 15 minutes later, my face was well hydrated and brightened till it glowed. This was 'The One' that made me give the stamp of approval of trust to Envie De Neuf's skin care line.


Here I leave you with the pictures of me at their Raffles city counter on April 1st 2012 when they officially made me their first ambassador here in Singapore.







Pure Hyaluronic Acid Elixir & Fullerene C60 will be used on all clients before their makeup session as I strongly endorse them to be the perfect primers which both benefit the skin and to providing staying power for long-lasting makeup.
Pure Hyaluronic Acid Elixir, Fullerene C60 & Platinum Cellwhite Hydromask are available for purchase at Joiè The Makeup Bar.
