Shimmering Pearls by Estee Lauder and Guerlain

Paris B 10 Comments

I was flipping through a magazine yesterday when my eye fell upon this rather deja-vu-ish picture.

Where have I see that before?

Why in Guerlain of course! The famed Guerlain Meteorites Illuminating powder balls. Don’t they bear an uncanny resemblance to Guerlain’s iconic product? I was so surprised that its taking Estee Lauder so long to jump onto the illuminating bandwagon. This is especially when Guerlain has taken it one step further and introduced the pressed Meteorites pearl highlighter.Continue Reading

Please pardon any funkiness you may experience on My Women Stuff. I am in the process of upgrading my wordpress and there might be a bit of a mess although fingers crossed, there shouldn’t be.

Update: I’m now running wordpress 2.6 and it was painless! Yay! 🙂

Maybelline Water Shine 3D Collagen lipstick and some lipstick tips

Then, last week, I met up with another bunch of bloggers and again, being all girls (I sense a trend here!) talk naturally turned to cosmetics, shopping and how regrettably expensive things are getting these days!

The only difference at the 2nd tea party was that there was a new toy for me to play with – Maybelline’s Water Shine 3D Collagen lipstick (which fortunately is not expensive at all at only RM28.90!)

I had first noticed this new Maybelline lipstick launch a couple of weeks ago at a Guardian pharmacy. Maybelline comes up with so many new products nearly every month that I’m a little overwhelmed by the new collections. (Aside: I missed the Volume Express mascara promo but I’m told by my friend that its da bomb!) But this time, my eye was irresistably drawn to the display because it was about Maybelline’s latest Water Shine 3D Collagen lipstick!Continue Reading
