Hiya lovelies!
I’m having a slow day so I decided to open up a virtual cafe and share some coffee and some good chit chat on a bit of ladies day out 😀 Lets get to know each other a little better!
If you have a burning question about anything at all, or if you are having a slow day too and just want to say hi, feel free to drop in, pull up a chair, grab a coffee and chat with me for a while about anything under the sun… well almost anything 🙂
I like addressing random topics so do visit and leave a comment and who knows, if I can’t answer you, some one out there probably can 🙂

p/s Remember to keep it clean and don’t touch on anything relating to politics or religion or anything sensitive; but then you are all adult enough to know that right? 🙂
p/p/s Incidentally, I’m having a REALLY bad hair day – urgh! Its sticking out everywhere! I wonder if it’ll be odd to wear a hat in the office? 🙂

hello Paris. so free ah? i’m counting down my days till i’m leaving for New Zealand. anxiety + glee!
ParisB says
Ooh New Zealand! Are you going there for work/holiday/studies? I might go too but later in the year
yahui says

yahui says
owh darn my first comment didn’t get posted. let me start again.
hello Paris, dropping in to say hi after seeing your tweet. i’m not up to anything in particular… i’m counting down the days till i leave for my studies in New Zealand…
… and since i’m in a makeup blog, can i butt in? i wanna bring everything in my stash. but my baggage allowance doesn’t permit me. T_T
ParisB says
psst – ship it over? 😉
yahui says
going there for studies… swinging through pre-departure depression and overwhelming joy. i’m deranged! lol~
nah, i has good self control. *psycho myself* i shall bring necessities nia.
ParisB says
Oh fun! I really miss going away for long periods of time even if its just to study 😀 You’ll have a blast I’m sure and well, there will always be new things to buy and try or there’s also online shopping! 😉

Hallo!!! I’m back from class! We were learning about lun-chun-ness in psychology class, WOOHOO! I saw a post regarding the Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick on Alarm… WALAU EH, SI BEH RED WEH (My Teochew/hokkien crudeness shall end here), I may be getting some other shade, muahahahaha (Maybe Asia, Crush or Pink Champagne?). For my budget’s sake, I have to get off this site!!
(You know I’m kidding, right?)
ParisB says
Psychology! Awesome course. Yes Alarm is super duper red! But Yani’ll pull it off like a champ. I’ve got it swatched somewhere so you can expect some pics in the coming weeks 🙂 I do hope you come back even if we make you broke 😉 haha…

hi Paris…am a longtime lurker but was tempted by your invitation to chat hehe. I’m 24 and there’s been a burning question on my mind for some time: what IS the right age to start using anti-aging stuff & what are your recs for someone at my age? I know the basics like having a good skincare routine, sunscreen, drinking water and cutting down the alco n caffeine…but what products or skincare routines do you think would be useful? Thanks for your time and advice, love your blog!
ParisB says
Welcome! Incidentally I have a post coming up which might address this question but if anyone else wants to answer please feel free to! 😀
iamtheanonymous says
whoops, will go search the archives. Thanks 🙂
ParisB says
Actually its in an upcoming post 😀 Come round next week or so 😀

Hi Paris,
Busy day for me, no time to check out ur blog till lunch time.
I love movies too, , but has been too busy to catch one lately ~ house cleaning, trying my hands on baking……:-P
Avatar is the best movie for 2009! You will love it! Enjoy!
Just wondering, have you tried any collagen beauty drink? Anyone? K to share?
cheers,
lemon ;-D
ParisB says
Ooh busy and yet you dropped by to chat yay! 🙂 Baking cookies for CNY? Hope they are a resounding success! I haven’t tried any collagen or beauty drink. Been tempted to many times though – if anyone has, please share or I could ask them specifically in a Q&A 😀
Jennifer says
Nice blog! I bought the Maybelline Gel Eyeliner the other day after your review. Must say that it is darn good stuff! Especially for a gal with single eyelids like mine 🙁
Meanwhile, you know any good product for pigmentation?
ParisB says
Glad the Maybelline gel liner worked for you! As for pigmentation, I personally find that the Lancome Blanc Expert serum works great. Doesn’t clear it all up, but helps control it. Also regular uses of brightening masks help too.
lemon says
Hi,
Busy morning….getting ready for a big presentation, business purposes, me not college students…..:-)
nolar, trying some bread recipe online, quite fun….:-D love the baking aroma esp in the morning. Fresh bread with a cup of coffee….really make my day……:-D
Yes please, collagen drink! it will be an interesting topic! There are sooooo many brands out there, not sure which one is good and any side effect?
cheers,
lemon
ParisB says
Fresh baked bread! Even better – what a way to wake up in the morning. Wanna drop some off for me? 😛 I too have no idea what sort of collagen drinks are good. There are already a few out there including Vitagen 😛 But like you I’ve no idea how good they are or if there’ll be side effects – lets see if anyone can help us 😉
Michelle says
I have a random question for you (chuckles)….. what software do you use to augment all your graphics? I like the end result of it!
ParisB says
I use a combination of photofiltre and paint.net – that’s because I’m too cheap to pay for Photoshop 😉 Thanks for the compliment!
Melissa says
im eyeing on this high waisted peplum skirt but i’m contemplating on whether to take the green or black one. i prefer the green one better as it’s something not as common as black but afraid that it’s hard to mix and match. hmm…
ParisB says
Green can be beautiful and as you said, its unique. You can quite as easily pair it with any earth based colours – beige, cream, white, yellow etc
Michelle says
(Not sure why my comment didn’t go through.. hmm)
I have a burning question (chuckles)….. what software do you use to edit your images? They always look so impeccable!
ParisB says
It went through and I answered 😀
Abby says
Hi Paris!
Just want to ask some questions;
1. I’m thinking of starting to use makeup brushes, can you recommend a good set (and if possible- where to get them) for makeup tools beginners like me? I stay in KL.
2. Do you have any tips for eyebrow makeup? i mean, just to make it look neat. or have u posted it somewhere?
Thanks so much! 🙂
ParisB says
Hey Abby! In reply to your questions
1. For makeup brushes, try The Body Shop or Ecotools (available at Shins or online) They are relatively affordable and they’re good. Well, the ones I’ve tried anyway. For the eyes I stick with fingers LOL
2. The only thing about brows I’ve posted about are the Beautilicious Arch it Right brow kit and the Shu Uemura pencil but without too much details. I usually have my brows tidied by my facialist and touch up with either of the 2 products I mentioned. Perhaps I could do a post for the future.
Thanks for the ideas!
