Day 29 : Maybelline 3D Collagen Watershine #304

Catching up on the 30 lipsticks in 30 days project with Day 29 and another favourite Maybelline lippie!

Maybelline 3D Collagen Watershine #304

Maybelline Watershine 3D Collagen

Early in this series, I featured a Maybelline 3D Collagen Watershine lipstick in a bright sheer red. As we near the end of this series, I’m feature my favourite Maybelline 3D Collagen lipstick in #304. All you see in the picture is all that’s left of this lipstick! I didn’t even realise I was running out until I took this picture – time for a back up? 😛

It looks pinky but on my lips #304 is a light sheer peach I use whenever I’m too lazy to think of what colours will go with my look of the day. This one goes with practically everything!

Day 28 : Clinique High Impact Lipstick – RSVPink

Yeah I’m a little behind on my 30 lipsticks in 30 days project but I’m going to finish this one 🙂 Today we have another lipstick from Clinique.

Clinique High Impact Lipstick – RSVPink

Clinique’s High Impact lipsticks feel harder and drier than the Buttershines which I love. However, the colour pay off is better and I love this colour in RSVPink.

What it is in the tube is a soft pink. This colour is pretty much what you can expect on your lips.

Bluunis Facial Salon – My experience and it was not great

June 30, 2009 Paris B 54 Comments

I was presented a free voucher to experience a Collagen facial worth RM380 at Bluunis Salon so who’s to pass it up? I go for regular facials and I’ve been to quite a few places but prefer to only stick to one regular one. I’d never seen Bluunis around before but when I found out it was formerly known as Ultimate Expression the jigsaw fell into place – wasn’t that some slimming centre? My spidey sense started tingling…

Anyway, my facial was at Sunway Pyramid because the voucher came from there. I got there right on the dot of my appointment and was quickly ushered into a small room to fill up a form. “Ah this is where the hard-sell starts” I thought.

To my surprise, there was no hard sell. Yet.

No Skin consultation

To my utter surprise there was no skin consultation. No consultation as to whether my skin was dry or oily or what facial might be a better option. I know the voucher was for an Intensive Collagen Facial but it was my first time at the salon and there was no attempt to create a customer profile at all.

Bluunis Salon was very noisy

After being made to change into a pair of slippers, I was led into the inner section. The inner section of the salon is partitioned off into cubicles. Each cubicle fits a narrow bed and a locker for you to keep your bag. The problem was, the rooms are partitioned with plasterboard and the doors are sliding plywood. So you hear EVERYTHING that’s going on outside and next door.

I could hear some ladies talking at the top of their voices and the loud smacking sounds of a massage from next door. It was distracting.

The air conditioning too was not turned down so it was quite warm. To make things worse a thick duvet is placed over you so you slowly roast during the facial.

Review: Silkygirl Eyeshadow Quad – Forest Green

June 29, 2009 Paris B 18 Comments

Some days I like my Jimmy Choos … other days I like my Bata slippers. I don’t have Jimmy Choos… yet! … but you get the drift. Some days I want my Dior Artistry palette and other days, I glam up with Silkygirl Eyeshadow Blockbuster quads.

Silkygirl Blockbuster Quad - Forest Green

Fascinatingly, I was not enamoured with the Dior Green Design palette but I was absolutely smitten with the Silkygirl Forest Green quad. I tried to resist but after 3 trips to check it out at various pharmacies, I caved. At a promotional price of RM18.80 a quad at Watson’s, its just too good a deal to pass up! 😛

The Forest Green palette is the best of the whole lot in my opinion. The colours are the most unique and aren’t duplicated in the duos. Most of the other palettes have at least 1 colour that appears in one of the duos which made me balk from getting them.
