Clarins’ new collection Jazzy Colours is inspired by the astonishing modernism that reigned throughout the footloose and fancy-free Roaring Twenties.
Jazzy Colours is the essence of elegance and seduction — flawless complexions, deep red lips, and bewitching eyes. A new definition of glamour that fascinates and intrigues with bold sophistication and liberated chic. Colors that swing and sway together like the finest of couturier fabrics: satin rose, violet plum, graphite grey, and shimmering blue.
Clarins makeup artistic director Thibault Vabre says it’s “the return of eternal femininity surrounded in charm and refinement with the same notes of joie de vivre, energy, and freedom that modern-day ‘garconnes’ enjoy today.”
Clarins is available at Rustan’s.

It’s absolutely irresistible! It’s Givenchy!
Roll out the red carpet for this gem of a bottle. The twisted bottle is dressed up in dazzling vibrant red and embellished with a modern geometric pattern in silver, inspired by Riccardo Tisci’s couture motif.
It’s absolutely red — it’s Absolutely Irresistible Givenchy! The original distinctive rose-star anise composition of Very Irresistible Givenchy had been replaced by a blooming, flamboyant floral with a middle note based on the sensual and sophisticated jasmine.
The brilliant first impressions feature a sparkling, zesty note of green mandarin orange blended joyfully with radiant, colorful hints of red berries and a spicy, almost risque red pepper accord. At the heart of the fragrance, all the brilliance and sensuality of Egyptian jasmine is subtly warmed by orange blossom and heliotrope. At the base note, cedarwood, patchouli, and amber impart their soft, warm intensity.
Givenchy is available at Rustan’s.

Younger-looking eyes in just 24 hours from Anew
Just like your face, the vulnerable eye area has different needs for night and day. Avon introduces Anew Rejuvenate 24 Hour Eye Cream, the first dual eye system with SPF 25 that is designed to fight aging round the clock.
The Day Revitalization Cream has SPF 25 UVA/UVB, which can even be used on the sensitive eyelid area — a real technological breakthrough. Formulated to help inhibit enzyme oxidation that can create dark shadows, the AM formula smoothes fine lines and wrinkles while guarding against the formulation of new ones with broad spectrum SPF 25 UVA/UVB protection.
The Night Restoration Cream works overnight when skin is most receptive to treatment and repair.
In just 24 hours, over 70 percent of women saw the look of fine lines softened, shadows brightened, and puffiness reduced.
Avon Anew Rejuvenate 24 Hour Eye Cream 20g (10g Day + 10g Night at only P600) is available through Avon Ladies nationwide. To find a representative, call 864-2900, or log on to www.avon.com.ph.

The new face of Cetaphil
New look, but the same trusted formulation. That’s the new but the same old Cetaphil that dermatologists and pediatricians have trusted for over 30 years now. Cool and easy on the eyes, the vibrant blue and green packaging is aligned with the visual branding in Canada and the US.
While Cetaphil flaunts a more youthful and refreshing look, it still has the same mild, soap-free, non-drying and non-irritating formulation that everybody loves. Cetaphil is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and is even safe on baby’s sensitive skin.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the benchmark for sensitive skin cleansing in the United States and Europe for over three decades now. Available in 250ml and 60ml bottles, there are also the gentle and antibacterial cleansing bars for dry and sensitive skin.
