Dior Summer 2009 – Cristal Collection

April 30, 2009 Paris B 21 Comments

Apologies: For anyone who has been trying to access my blog, we had a little server trouble today. It’s now been rectified. Thank you for your patience!

Dior’s Summer Collection for 2009 has been known by a few names – Bronze Collection, Pop Art collection and Cristal Collection to name just 3. The reasons are clear. Bronze collection because summer is a time when bronzers come out to play and this year, Dior has come up with the bronzer-blush of the year!

2009 will be remembered forever as the year Dior launched the prettiest Bronze Harmonie blushes we have ever seen – Rose Brazilia and Coral Riviera (RM142) – both limited edition. Rose Brazilia is a pink bronze color while Coral Riviera is a warm peach bronze shade. Expect them to sell out quickly.

Rose Brazilia is still in the testing stages for me, but it looks less warm than Coral Riviera and shows up peach-rose. Can you get lovelier than that? I’ll try to post up a review next week.

The Cristal Collection is so named because Dior’s limited edition star item for their Summer 2009 collection is called Cristal Shine – a lipbalm/lipgloss palette (RM185). More pics if you keep reading!

Upcoming: Lancome Maquiliquide UV Perfect Infinite Everlasting Liquid Foundation SPF20 PA++

April 29, 2009 Paris B 21 Comments

Hot on the heels of I Nuovi’s Gelbase foundation comes yet another light sheer foundation to tempt me into the realms of liquid foundation. I swear I’ve never been exposed to as much liquid foundation as I have been in these 2 months and you know what? I’m learning that I can wear liquid foundation!

But I need ones that are very light with sheer coverage.

lancome maquiliquide UV infinite foundation

Lancome has one making an appearance at counters soon that might be worth taking a look at if:-

a) You have oily skin
b) You like light formula in liquid foundation
c) You don’t mind sheer coverage

Already available in Japan and possibly Taiwan, the Lancome Maquiliquide UV Perfect Everlasting Liquid Foundation is a very light textured water based liquid foundation with quite sheer coverage and SPF20 PA++.

I recently tried it and I liked how it felt for the few hours I wore it. No masky feel! Yay! I saw from the packaging and labels that there is a lot of Japanese writing on it which tells me that it might be targeted at the Asian market. I’m not quite sure also but it might be exclusive to Asia. This is also borne out by the fact that the color selection is quite limited and tending towards the lighter end of the spectrum.

Sunscreen application – 7 parts of the body we forget

April 28, 2009 Paris B 31 Comments

Sunscreen application is a subject very dear to my heart. I am a firm advocate of using sunscreen everyday whether you leave the house or not. UVA rays are everywhere! I am also getting particular about the types of sunscreen or sunblock I use – broad spectrum that protects against UVA and UVB is the way to go these days. You can expect a few posts about the sun and sunscreen coming up. 🙂

Did you forget your sunscreen?

Based on my personal experience, here are 7 parts of the body we tend to forget to apply sunscreen or sunblock on.

1. Apply sunscreen on the neck

Hands up everyone who forgets the neck? *sheepishly puts hands up* I’m perfectly guilty of forgetting to apply sunscreen on my neck. Many women tend to wear shirts or t-shirts that gape at the neck thereby exposing the neck and decolletege area to more sun. Is it any wonder our neck ages faster than our face? So, remember your neck the next time you apply sunscreen on your face.

2. Apply sunscreen on the back of the neck

Hair blocks the sunrays but not the UV rays. So, whether you have long hair or short hair, try to remember to apply sunscreen on the BACK of your neck. Tell this to the men in your life too. They are even more susceptible to the sun for those with short hair. Be warned though that sunscreen can stain shirt collars so you might end up with extra cleaning to do.

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
