Will the world revolve around the Dior Diorshow 360º Revolving Mascara?

April 4, 2011 Paris B 16 Comments

Two years ago, the latest revolution in mascara was not the formula but the wand. Estee Lauder and Lancome both came up with their versions of the vibrating mascara wand almost within seconds of each other, it would seem. Well, here’s another high end brand who decided to go down the gadgety road – Dior with their Diorshow 360° Revolving Mascara.

diorshow 360 degrees revolving mascara

I’ve tried the regular Diorshow mascara and in the main, I’ve always been quite satisfied with their performance. Yes its a pricey mascara – just look at the name – but I’ve thus far tried 2 Diorshow mascara (Iconic and Extase) with differing results. With the promise of a “Revolving Lash-Styling Brush” that offers “Volume Curl and Length” I had to see how the Diorshow 360º fared.

Packaging wise, Dior has made it a DIY mascara. You get a big box as shown above and when you open it, here’s what you get.

The mascara tube, packaged in a classy glossy black tube this time, instead of the usual shiny embossed Diorshow tube, and the mascara cap with the wand. I must say that I like this packaging. The shiny metal embossed bit really stands out against the black, and rightly so, because that shiny bit is the “switch” that you use to turn the revolving mechanism on and off.

Win! Exclusive My Women Stuff x Sweet Contemplation Accessories necklace and earrings set!

April 3, 2011 Paris B

Happy Sunday Ladies!

Here at MWS, we’ve decided to hop on the collaboration bandwagon! 😀 I commissioned Sweet Contemplation Accessories to design and create an exclusive one off necklace and earring set to commemorate MWS turning 4! 😀 Well its not much of a collaboration per se because its not going up for sale LOL!

mywomenstuff x sweetcontemplationaccessories

Sweet Contemplation Accessories, if you did not know it already, is an online jewellery store based in Melbourne, Australia and owned by my lovely friend Tine, also of Beautyholics Anonymous. We bonded online quite a few years ago over makeup and life madness and I attended her wedding – as the blogger friend she had never met till her wedding day! Awesome or what?! 😀

So without too much ado, I present you the MWS x SCA necklace and earring set as shown above and below! Handmade with love 😉

How cool is that? 😀

As I said above, it isn’t going up for sale, but I commissioned 2 sets from SCA – one for myself, one for a reader… but you’re going to have to slug it out in the comments for it 🙂 Find out how to win your very own MWS x SCA exclusive handmade jewellery set worth AU$70 below, which incidentally completes this month o’ giveaways! 😀

Just Sampling: Estee Lauder CyberWhite Brilliant Cells Skincare

April 2, 2011 Paris B 11 Comments

I told you about the new Estee Lauder Cyberwhite Brilliant Cells skincare range a month ago. I had the opportunity to sample a few products in the range so I’ll just tell you quickly what I thought about them.

Estee Lauder Cyberwhite Brilliant Cells Full Spectrum Brightening Cleanser – RM140/125ml

This is your regular basic foaming cleanser. Personally, I found nothing special about it because I don’t believe that a cleanser can help your skin get whiter/brighter. Just my personal view. The plus point is that unlike the original cleanser, this one did not leave my skin feeling squeaky clean and dry and tight. It felt comfortable after washing, but I’d still recommend you get moisturized quickly after that.

Estee Lauder Cyberwhite Brilliant Cells Full Spectrum Brightening Moisture Lotion – RM160/200ml

This one’s the lotion or toner. It does make my skin feel more moist when I wipe and pat it on my skin. In that sense, it feels comfortable. The scent is a little strong though.

Taking a break…

April 1, 2011 Paris B

taking a break

… and letting you do the talking!

Alright Ladies, fact is, I’m feeling burnt out and am not quite “on the ball” as it were. So I have nothing planned for today or even tomorrow so if you don’t see a post in your inbox/feed reader don’t freak. Its not for want of content (heaven knows, there’s heck lot to talk about!), its just everything …. *flaps hands* y’know…

I really wanted to spend some time telling you about the new BB Creams I’ve been trying. I know right? PB? BB Creams? Gotta be joking!

bb creams

But yes, I’ve been trying out a few BB Creams from MAC, Dior and Sunplay <- one of this things just don’t belong here… 😉 but have just been too exhausted to come up with a coherent post. Rather than let you read something incoherent, I’ll defer it but I’ll bring it soon, promise.

So instead of pushing it and imploding, I decided to mellow down and open up a MWS Open Cafe session 🙂 Come on in ladies and let us have a chit-chat and get to know one another.

Have a question to ask? Now’s a good time – If I can’t help you, someone else will. Want to know something about me? I’ll tell ya… within acceptable limits 😉 If your complaint is about that blasted Libresse ad, believe me, I’ve been working to get rid of it for the better part of a week, ever since I learnt of it. I hope to see the end of it soon because it bugged me too. And no, I don’t use Libresse sanitary pads. Also, will put an end to those full page banners – I wasn’t aware they were running. If you still see them, be patient coz I’m working on it 🙂

Are you new here? Pipe up and introduce yourself! If you’ve never left a comment, now’s a good time because the comment box is open to pretty much anything – just keep it clean and family friendly. Previous Open Cafe sessions have always been tons of fun. I love reading your random comments in the giveaway posts but I can’t reply there so here’s your chance to be random AND get a reply.

I’ll be hanging around for most of the day. Catch y’all in the comments! Don’t be a stranger! 😀

Paris B

p/s If you’d rather not chat, don’t be a stranger nonetheless. I hope to get back into the groove soon 🙂

Thank you everyone who stopped by to chat. The comment section is now closed but you can still read all the comments, questions and answers. It was lots of fun and I’ll open up a similar session again soon 🙂
