Say it with Guerlain Rouge G Engraved Compacts

Paris B 8 Comments

I. Want. This. Damn. It!

Guerlain has come up with a limited edition engraved Rouge G lipstick compact that is for now, only available online and only at Sephora! Why?!

The compact comes pre engraved with the 3 messages as shown. Kitschy but I think its adorable. The colours too are regular colours but its no reason NOT to want it 😛 Plus I love Guerlain Rouge G lipsticks anyway.

It comes in 3 colours as shown and I’m lusting after all 3. Ok lets not be greedy. I’d settle for Grenade. Or maybe Gisele. Or Gardenia looks like a good everyday colour. Ok maybe all 3 then 😛

Damn. It!

Its US$45 on Sephora if anyone wants to be my secret Valentine 😉

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Him and for Her

Paris B 6 Comments

I’m not quite into that whole Valentine’s Day thing but here’s a quick round up of gift ideas and some new fragrance releases from various brands that you might be interested in if you enjoy fragrances.

Gift Ideas for Her and new Fragrances

Rarely do you go wrong with fragrances for a lady – unless she’s severely allergic to alcohol then you might want to be careful 😛 Here are a couple of new fragrances in the market you could get her. Or just a couple of new fragrances to take note of.

Dior releases the Dior Addict 2 Eau Fraiche (RM208/50ml) which has a young scent, having the top notes of pink grapefruit and a center of roses and raspberries. Promises to be pretty!

Nina Ricci introduces the Ricci Ricci fragrance (RM250/50ml) in a very unique looking bottle with a bow as part of its design. Its a day perfume that starts out smelling fresh with hints of bergamot and before mellowing down to rose and patchouli. I’d check this out coz it sounds and looks pretty.

Giorgio Armani has the Armani Idole gift set that comes with a body lotion and shower gel. Scents of turkish roses abound in this scent and gift sets always make it worth getting.

Not quite new, but don’t forget Lancome Magnifique for which you redeemed your sample to try. I love how the red bottle looks on my dresser. Red is seriously my colour – plus it also matches the auspicious redness that the Chinese Lunar New Year brings 😛

Men however are hard to buy for as I’m sure many of you will agree!

Mom Reviews the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream

Paris B 36 Comments

Thanks for coming by my open cafe day yesterday – boy! We sure can chat eh? 😀 I’ve had to close comments but if you all enjoyed that, I’ll open up another chat session the next time I’ve got some free time. Let me know yeah? 🙂

Now, on with the programme.

If you watch tv, you will notice the Olay Regenerist ad where they show you a cream that purportedly beat all other luxury and expensive creams in performance. I’m curious – which is the RM2,000 cream they compared it against? I want to see that one! Is it infused with diamonds? 😛

Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream

The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream is touted as a luxury anti-aging cream without the luxury pricetag; and I saw a used jar on my Mom’s dressing table! It is nearly finished so I roped her in to do me a review on it 😀

Note: The following review of the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is based on a brief interview I had with Mom so no, I have not personally tried it for results except for texture.

Appearance and Texture:

The red tub looks luxurious and the thick white cream feels rich on my skin. Its not oily though and absorbs quite quickly. There is also a strong fragrance. What Mom thinks of this cream is as below.

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? 🙂
