Rimmel London hits Malaysia!

Paris B 28 Comments

When it rains it pours! Hot on the heels of Majolica Majorca’s appearance on the shelves of Malaysia comes Rimmel London! The display was spotted in Watson’s KLCC and quite a substantial display it is too, right at the entrance with 3 display units.

Rimmel Kuala Lumpur

I saw that there was a pretty comprehensive display of foundation powder, mascara, liners, lipsticks, lip glosses but only a teeny tiny display of eyeshadow and blush. I wonder why? Anyway, I’m happy Rimmel is also now available in Kuala Lumpur, because I like their lipsticks!Continue Reading

Review: Skincare: Eucerin Hydro Balance Refreshing Hydrating Cream

Paris B 14 Comments

My Olay Total Effects cream was on its last legs (its only 20g after all) and I know I said I was going to try the Olay Total Effects Night Cream, but when I was checking it out at Guardian pharmacy, I got distracted by Eucerin. I’ve not tried many Eucerin products even though the Eucerin White Solution Fluid sunscreen works wonders for me so I decided to get a night moisturiser from Eucerin instead.
