Rachel K’s New Generation Color Control(CC) Blemish Balm

On 1st April 2011, Rachel K launched a pioneering Mineral Color Control(CC) cream and Mineral CC Pressed powder. Since then, it has become the World’s Number 1 bestselling CC Cream.

It is a favourite with beauty bloggers and has been cited as the preferred CC Cream by beauty queens from around the globe including the reigning Miss Universe, Miss Ireland, Miss Japan and Miss China, to name a few.

I’ve heard about the tremendous buzz around this CC Cream since last year, and I’m happy to know that Rachel K is now available in Malaysia since last November! Yay! Rachel K has brought in their signature CC Cream & CC Pressed powder, as well as the Radiance Illuminator Collagen + Lotus Stem Cell Hydrogel Mask Hydrogel masks.

Rachel Kum, the founder of the brand as well as Miss Singapore Universe. Love her fair & flawless skin!

You may wonder what is Mineral Color Control(CC) cream? While BB cream was manufactured primarily as a skincare product, CC cream was developed to retain all the skincare benefits of BB cream with added nourishing ingredients and the additional aim to provide more effective skin coverage. CC cream is the newest miracle beauty product available in a limited market, and was formulated with technology originating in industry-leader Japan and further developed in Korea.

The Rachel K range of Mineral CC cream is the only one available in a limited market that is formulated with pure minerals, making it suitable for all skin types including highly sensitive ones as the mineral ingredients do not irritate or damage the skin.

NUXE: Beauty by Nature

Nature and Luxury (NATURE and LUXE in French) NUXE is a brand that believe in Beauty by Nature. Since its launch, NUXE has become the natural origin cosmetology brand that combines performance and pleasure, and one of the best-selling* brands in pharmacies and Para pharmacies in France.

Thanks to Sasa Malaysia, NUXE is now available in all Sasa Malaysia store.

"Passionate about the infinite power of plants and convinced from a very young age by my father, a research pharmacist, that the major therapeutic discoveries originate from the world of plants, I remembered 5 basic truths that inspire me every day in my beauty philosophy and guide me in continuing to build the NUXE brand:

• Nature as my inspiration. As an inexhaustible source of effectiveness and creativity, it is key to my vision of cosmetics.

• Innovation as a motor. Since its creation, NUXE has had its very own R&D laboratory. Today, there are 32 patents in submission and others are being studied.

• Evaluation as standard. A product is only launched if its safety and effectiveness are proven through rigorous testing and objectives carried out under dermatological supervision.

• Accessibility as a major focus. The most effective treatments are not always the most expensive. I therefore strive to offer consumers high-performance products at the right price.

• Sensoriality as a foundation. In order to blend effectiveness and regularity of use, I am very conscious of creating delightful textures, delicate fragrances and enchanting names.

                                                                                 -  ALIZA JABÈS & NUXE – CEO of NUXE

The launch event was unique and fun, all the Media and bloggers went through a blind tasting and testing under the relaxing environment at twentyone tables + terrace @ BSC.
