Maybelline New York Celebrates 100th Anniversary with 10 decades of Iconic Looks

The modern woman is not afraid to flaunt her creativity and individuality, not only in the way she acts and dresses, but also in the way she looks. Over the past 100 years, Maybelline New York has inspired generations of women to define beauty. The answer lies in their hands: a woman possesses the power to express herself however she wants.

 
Today, Maybelline New York is the #1 colour cosmetics in the world. It is available in over 129 countries worldwide, bringing New York City glamour to women’s fingertips no matter where they are. From the brand’s earliest eyelash and brow products, Maybelline New York has continued to break all rules and push limits to make makeup artistry accessible to all women.

This year, Maybelline New York celebrates its 100th anniversary! To commemorate the memorable event and to pay homage to the illustrative transition of makeup trends through the years, Maybelline New York makeup artists have created 10 iconic looks to represent each decade of the last century, starting from the 1920s. 

Let's take a look of the Maybelline New York: Celebrating 10 Decades with 10 Iconic Looks!

1.) 1920s - Fierce Flapper

2.) 1930s - Siren In Rouge

3.) 1940s - The Pin Up

4.) 1950s - Bombshell Glamour

5.) 1960s - Mod Rocker

6.) 1970s - Disco Diva

7.) 1980s - Electric Raver

8.) 1990s - Au Natural Wonder

9.) 2000s - The Socialite

And here is the future look...
10.) The Future - Fearless Femme

In addition to 10 decades of iconic looks, Maybelline New York also celebrated 100 years of innovation and success with 12 special edition makeup looks created by Maybelline's global makeup artist Charlotte Willer.

Ranging from retro glamour to futuristic beauty, her creations were photographed by Kenneth Willardt, who was inspired by "confident women, brave inventors and revolutionary innovations" that impacted the history of Maybelline New York.
 
One of the highlighted looks (the 1st picture in this blog post) created by Charlotte Willer featured dark eyeshadows and eyeliners, thin but strong eye brows and rich red lips inspired by Charleston makeup in the 20s.

BelleWave ClearWave Range (Product Review & Giveaway)

I wish I had clear and flawless skin but I don't. Enlarged pores, blackheads and pimples can be seen on my face. :( 
Few weeks ago, I have received the BelleWave ClearWave Range and a from BelleWave Malaysia for review purpose. I have been using this range of products for about three weeks and it's time for me to share with you my experience using them.
BelleWave has been in Malaysia for 15 years and they are salon exclusive products. BelleWave products is a Swiss made products free from mineral oil and its botanical based with NO animal testing.

The Bellewave’s ClearWave is a fine selection of problem-solving essentials targeted at banishing blemished complexions. Curb overactive sebaceous glands without drying out skin.
Powerful concentrates of rigorously selected ingredients help maintain the hydrolipidic mantel of skin while whisking away pore-clogging impurities, and reducing and controlling excessive shine. The result: Purified and tightened pores, and healthy skin that glows enviously.

The five products I was using for the past 3 weeks:
1.) BelleWave ClearWave Deep Cleansing Milk
2.) BelleWave ClearWave De-Bac Washing Foam
3.) BelleWave ClearWave De-Bac Astringent Lotion
4.)BelleWave ClearWave  Comedone Repair Activist
5.)BelleWave  Sunwave UV Extra DNA De-Tox UV Block

My daily beauty routine for day and night:
(eye care and night moisturizer were not shown in the below flowchart)
1.) ClearWave Deep Cleansing Milk (200ml, RM168)
 
My 1st beauty step is to remove make-up or sunblock by using this non-drying cleansing milk. This deep cleansing milk helps balance the hydrolipidic mantel of skin whilst removing pore-clogging impurities, oil and make-up. It also works to clear and prevent blemishes. Moisturizing and toning, it imparts freshness and comfort to the epidermis.It's suitable for combination & oily / blemish-prone skin.
This cleansing milk contains the following active ingredients:
Fomes Officinalis (Mushroom) Extract: Being an astringent, it enhances skin's tone and firmness greatly. Apart from its moisturizing activities, it also has a cutaneous pore-tightening effect, minimizing the visible appearance of skin suffering from excess sebum secretions.

Laminaria Saccharina Algae Extract: Normalizes the sebaceous secretion flow.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Has protective and moisturizing actions. It helps restore and maintain natural skin moisture, leaving skin feeling velvety and smooth.

Rosemary Essential Oil: With toning, anti-oxidizing, antiseptic and purifying virtues.

Peppermint Essential Oil: With refreshing and toning properties.
The ClearWave Deep Cleansing Milk comes in a pump bottle and it make the user easy to dispense the cleansing milk. The texture is smooth easy to massage on my face and neck to remove my make-up and impurities.
Every evening, I apply the ClearWave Deep Cleansing Milk on pre-moistened skin of face and neck. Lightly massage to remove make-up and impurities. Next, rinse with a soft sponge soaked with lukewarm water.



2.)  ClearWave De-Bac Washing Foam (200ml, RM168)
The ClearWave De-Bac Washing Foam is my 2nd step to clean my skin. This ultra-fresh washing foam gently cleanses and lifts away the pore-clogging impurities and oil of skin. It also helps normalize the sebaceous secretion flow, which assists in staving off the formation of blemish spots. It imparts clearness and freshness to the epidermis.
This washing foam contains the following active ingredients:

skin moisture, leaving skin feeling velvety and smooth.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Germ Proteins: A skin-conditioning agent that moisturizes and helps bind water in the tissues.
This washing foam also comes in a pump bottle and it makes the user easy to dispense the right amount product during application.
It has a pleasant smell and does not foam much when used. It is refreshing and leaving my skin feeling smooth after used. Every morning and evening, I used two pumps of this washing foam on my pre-moistened skin of face and neck. Lightly massage to remove impurities. Rinse with lukewarm water. 

3.)  ClearWave De-Bac Astringent Lotion (200ml, RM168)
The 3rd step of my beauty step is toning, applying the ClearWave De-Bac Astringent Lotion. This lightly-textured antibacterial astringent lotion gently whisks away pore-clogging impurities and oil that can lead to imperfections. It reduces the formation of blackheads and blemish spots, tightens the pores, and soothes and moisturizes the epidermis. Skin is refreshed and clean, yet feels dewy and comfortable. BelleWave ClearWave promotes problem-free skin.

Peppermint Essential Oil: An aromacological fragrance with toning, refreshing and soothing features.
Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Promotes healing. Has protective and moisturizing actions. It helps restore and maintain natural skin moisture, leaving the skin feeling velvety and smooth.

Once again this astringent lotion comes in an user friendly pump. I really like this lotion. The ClearWave De-Bac Astringent Lotion helps to soothe and reduce my pimples inflammation. Every morning and evening, I soak a cotton pad with lotion and smoothen over cleansed skin of face. Pat dry and follow with day or night skin treatment.


4.) ClearWave  Comedone Repair Activist (12ml, RM168)
This is my favourite product in this range! The ClearWave  Comedone Repair Activist is a first-of-its-kind treatment for comedones, commonly known as blackheads and whiteheads —effortlessly dislodges blockages and impurities. An unsurpassed concoction developed from extensive research, it contains unique ingredients with an exclusive biological re-equilibrating agent that balances cutaneous disorders typical of oily and problem skins. Inculcated with pore-tightening astringent, tissue-repairing and calming properties to aid prevention of blemishes, its formula allows you to relish in clean and tight pores in the comfort of your home.

Calendula Extract: Contains calming, softening and moisturizing virtues.

This light treatment serum instantly reduced my enlarged pores and make them appear smaller. After using for about a week, the blackheads look less visible and my skin appear smoother. My skin become less oily and shiny. My pimples scars also become less visible.
How I apply this product?

Soak a cotton pad with lotion and smoothen over cleansed skin of face (especially on T-zone, targeted area such as nose, cheek and chin or acne area) every morning and evening. Pat dry. Follow with my usual day and night skin treatment.

5.) Sunwave UV Extra DNA De-Tox UV Block (35ml, RM168)
Sunblock, is a must beauty product for me during daytime. Applying sunblock is an important step as it helps to prevent premature aging & skin damage from free radicals generated by Nnxious UV rays & environmental pollutants.
