Today I'd like to talk about my most favorite line, Cle de peau beaute. Cle de peau Beaute means "key to beautiful skin" in French. It's a prestige line developed and being researched by Shiseido but what makes it different is that only the most advanced and latest technologies are used to create this beautiful line.

I've been using the entire line on and off for nearly 3 years. I couldn't recall any products that I have not used or tried so you could tell, I'm a huge fan! So let's start with the basic for now. Cle de peau has a really simple basic line consists of cleanser/softener/day moisturizer and night moisturizer. Those are what I started with and when used together, the results are truly impressing. My skin feels so much softer, the texture is really smooth, and overall, the skin is really well-balanced. It's designed for all ages, not just mature like most people thought because it targets each cell's activities and once those cells functions normally, your skin is kept in optimal condition. Between these 3 years since I started using, I'm always go back and forth trying to find others that might be comparable to this but at the end, I always come back.

The line is definitely pricey but it's worth every penny if you are willing to invest in something that really works. My most favorite product of the line is the Gentle Balancing Softener. It helps soften and really hydrates your skin before you put on a moisturizer so that way, the skin will absorb the benefits of the moisturizer better. Normally, I will use the Refreshing line in the Summer because of the lighter texture and then Gentle line in the Winter. Don't ever hesitate to ask BA about this line, I've been to their counters in different countries and all of them are so polite and helpful :)

Christmas is the time when I get most excited about makeup because I'm just curious what each company is gonna come out each year with their holidays limited edition.

My first purchase for this holidays is Dior Holiday Collection Eye Palette. It comes with beautiful 4 e/s colors that are very easy to wear, you can definitely create different looks from basic to dramatic according to your needs for this holiday seasons :)

Another good buy from this collection for me would be the brushes set; however, I have way too many brushes similar to the ones in the set but certainly good value for those who need them.
