Your Say: So you like beauty products but…

November 30, 2010 Paris B 62 Comments

So you like beauty products. You like playing with colours. So do I! Yay 😀

I love my blushes and lipsticks and eye colours… but I have no love for nail polish.

Yes ladies, I’m guilty of not enjoying nail polish. At. All.

Whilst I enjoy the pampering of a manicure and pedicure session, I find it suffocating on my nails to have that layer of lacquer on it. I have this irresistable urge to peel off the lacquer at every opportunity. Its a mental thing of course – nails are dead material. They can’t breathe.

I’ve tried to enjoy it … Heaven knows, I’ve tried! But I’ve finally decided that enough is enough. I can’t make myself love nor enjoy having painted nails 🙁

Hiking up the Scottish Highlands to MAC Glamora Castle

November 29, 2010 Paris B 30 Comments

MAC’s A Tartan Tale Holiday collection has certainly grabbed the attention of many, whether you like the tartan design or not. I told you before, that I picked up Glamora Castle, which is a limited edition eyeshadow in the collection. It was the only one that grabbed my attention because I’m into greys of all sorts.

It is also because Scotland in winter is very grey so the colour is quite apt. And no, Glamora Castle is not a real place (at least I don’t think so) The picture above is of Stirling Castle 🙂

So what’s so special about a grey eyeshadow then? Well, a lot actually. Glamora Castle is a blue-grey with a little shimmer, and a very lovely colour! Apparently those teal lines don’t go all the way through, as BritishBeautyBlogger discovered by carving up her Glamora Castle shadow. Ouch! Still, I didn’t get the teal to show up much or at all, and the grey shadow is on its own shot through with a blue tone which I actually liked, so I was happy anyway.

Good news! Fitflop drops prices and brings limited edition Rockstar Walkstar

First, I have some good news. In line with the new Budget 2011 announced by our PM, the distributors of Fitflop in Malaysia will be reducing their prices from between RM20-90. So that’s some good news for all of us who love these pricey slippers 😀 (Edit: I’m told price drop is with immediate effect 🙂 )

Second, look what Fitflop has blinged up for us – a Swarovski encrusted Rockstar Walkstar!

The classic Walkstar FitFlop will have hundreds of Swarovski crystals encrusted on a black microfibre base. The MicroWobbleboard technology remains to tone your legs and bum as you walk. You’d have to read my Fitflop review to know if it works (or to just read why I love these expensive slippers)

Giving Thanks – What are you thankful for?

Some of you read this yesterday which was an inadvertent mistake on my part. Enjoy the weekend nonetheless! 😉

Happy Saturday Ladies!

Those in the USA celebrated Thanksgiving 2 days ago. Not a celebration we have here in Malaysia but it would be nice to step back for a moment and give Thanks, won’t it? 🙂

Thankful for food!

So here are 2 things I give Thanks for :-

For the friends I have made just by having a small presence on the internet. For many of us, we have gone past just being “blogger buddies” to real life friends – best of all, friends with a similar interest be it cosmetics or bags 😀 There’s one I still have to meet though 😉 Take a read at what I’ve enjoyed from some of their blogs in November 2010

Yani’s post made me buy the Barry M Scarlet pencil – sigh – Redlusciouslips
Syen’s makeup storage box brought back my memories – Soloverly
Nikki shows us how to contour our noses properly – AskMeWhats
Xin teaches us how we can use the REN Moroccan Rose bath oil even without a tub – Pretty Beautiful
Jenn had quite a different experience from me with the Liese Bubble Hair Colour in Sweet Pink – Lipglosseater
Tine shows us some inexpensive skincare that literally saved her skin – Beautyholics Anonymous

And the 2nd thing I’m thankful for? 🙂
