43 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 15 MAY 2016 Instantly hydrating, perfecting balm Chanel Hydra Beauty Flash • Hydra Beauty Flash Overwork, stress, fatigue, cold, sun, seasonal changes, air con- ditioning, plane trips… All of these harsh conditions put skin to the test! And this shows on the face. Skin becomes dry and dull, with an uneven texture and visible pores. It gradually loses its natural beauty and ra- diance. Women need a "magic wand" that offers an instant beauty effect and hydration. A multipurpose miracle product that makes their lives easier. As attentive to women as ever, Chanel introduces Hydra Beauty Flash in 2016: a formula specially developed for strained skin in need of an instantly hy- drating perfecting balm. Prac- tical and portable, it gives skin an immediate boost, visibly re- duces the appearance of surface irregularities, fine lines, pores and provides an unparalleled glow. It can be used whenever skin needs it, in the place of usual skincare, or at any time of day for a luminous and f lawless complexion. Hydra Beauty Flash instantly comforts skin, visibly reduces the appearance of imperfections and provides an unparalleled glow. With a rich formula, high- ly concentrated in moisturizing agents (shea and moringa but- ters), it delivers intense comfort and immediately smoothes the skin. Thanks to a combination of soft focus powders and pear- lescent particles, it perfects and illuminates the complexion as soon as it is applied. The ultra- light soft focus powders work like magic to correct the ap- pearance of imperfections with an immediate optical blurring effect. They diminish surface ir- regularities for an even texture, smoothed fine lines and less visible pores. The pearlescent particles are light-ref lecting pigments that illuminate the complexion and boost radi- ance. Upon application, skin is soothed and comfortable, its texture is even and its surface refined. The complexion looks uniform and luminous. How to use Apply Hydra Beauty Flash in the morning to the entire face, either alone or after HY- DRA Beauty Micro Sérum or la crème. Its rich texture gen- tly melts onto the skin. Soft and silky, it is rapidly absorbed, leaving the skin velvety without an oily feeling or a hint of thick- ness. Beauty Tips This balm can also be applied throughout the day to touch-up dry areas or to deliver a f lash of radiance before a special oc- casion.

The event was part of the monthly group building activities which Famalco hosts. A total of 16 mem- bers were present and divided themselves in two teams, Desert Team and Land Team, which were led by the respective directors. The rainy weather only helped at- tendees get into the com- petitive atmosphere, leading the Desert Team to a strik- ing victory which wrapped up the successful event. The affair was organised by the Famalco Group's events commit- tee. Each month, the committee meets up to think of fun activities which the members can do together outside of an office environment. Famalco's directors agree and continue to enforce that these events are the key to having a positive co-existent vibe in the work place and a way of getting to know the people you see for the majority of your day in an environment which is not intimi- dating. The next event will take the group to another sport related activity where they will try Zorb- ing, an alternate experience of playing football. The event will take place on Saturday, May 20 in Pembroke.
