Introducing some Malaysian Cosmetics brands I have tried and liked

August 31, 2010 Paris B 31 Comments

Today’s a public holiday here in Malaysia where I’m based (in case anyone has missed that LOL!) because its our National Day or Independance Day. And in the spirit of patriotism here are some brands which are homegrown and the noteworthy items I have tried from them (in no particular order).

Do note however, that there are many more brands out there that are Malaysian owned but I haven’t tried them all. There are also a couple of brands which I have nothing very nice to say so I won’t 😛 If you know of more noteworthy local brands or products, do leave your comment in the comment box below! 🙂

Beautilicious Cosmetics

The brand seems to have quietened down a little since it was launched. I’m still using the Arch it Right Brow Kit (for the awesome tweezers and brow powders) and the Magic Spell Auto Eyeliner, both of which are definitely worth taking a look into. Also consider the eyeshadow palettes – Alyssa and Smoke Gets in your Eyes are surefire recommendations from me. View availability here.

Silkygirl Cosmetics

The name is a little kiddy and so is the image, but there are a couple of hidden gems in there. The Moisture Max lipgloss isn’t bad for something that affordable, and the Funky Eyeliner pencils deserve a worthy mention.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer : Its more than just primer!

August 30, 2010 Paris B 34 Comments

The Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer needs no introduction. Oh wait. You haven’t heard of it? Oh dear… let’s remedy that 🙂

smashbox photo finish foundation primer review

Just as the name implies, its a makeup primer. Use it before you apply foundation because what it does is fill up all the pores and give you a smooth finish so your foundation goes on smoothly and looks air brushed. It also has oil control qualities so if you have been having problems getting your makeup to stay on, look no further than the Photo Finish foundation primer.

However, it would do to note that the primer is nearly completely silicone based so if you are sensitive to silicones, and prone to break out from it, stay far far away. I’m not, and I do like this primer. Well, I was going to buy the full size, after trying the trial sized one that came in the set, but I’m rethinking it for reasons I will share below.

Out with the new and in with the old : Delights from Mom’s Closet

August 29, 2010 Paris B 28 Comments

Yes lovelies, you read that right. Out with the new, in with the old!

envelope clutch

I was rooting through Mum’s old stuff and came across an envelope clutch/sling bag she did not use anymore. I’d been on the hunt for an oversized clutch for a while so this came in very handy!

A touch of leather cleaner and polish later, its all good!

New: Estee Lauder Pleasures Bloom and contest, Unii Cosmetics Refillable Palettes, Frances Yip Concert, New face of Maybelline and Beauty Roundups!

August 28, 2010 Paris B 5 Comments

Happy Saturday Ladies!

I just had to share about this refillable palette I came across online. Its by Unii Cosmetics and its an empty palette made for those who love to depot.

I’m thinking of getting this for my melted Nars blush cases. It’ll be nice to have them all in one place. Each empty palette is US$29 (cheaper if you order more) and comes in 5 colours. I’m darned tempted ok! 😛

Before I tell you about what else is new, come read what my beauty blogging friends have been telling you about in August 2010.
