I Scream for Eye Cream! Just the Estee Lauder ANR Eye Serum actually…

June 23, 2011 Paris B 52 Comments

I’ve been receiving quite a few emails about eye creams and what I use or recommend. I looked back at my posts and realized that:-

I don’t talk about eye creams
I don’t use many eye creams
I haven’t told you about the one eye cream I use nearly all the time

Its time to remedy that.

I still don’t use eye cream a lot. I don’t have chronic dark circles (mine go away if I have enough rest) and I am lucky that crows feet or lines around the eyes aren’t existent or if they exist, aren’t prominent. I guess I’m lucky to be made that way 😛 But over the years, I’ve only really ever found one eye cream that I liked enough to repurchase, and which I thought worked well enough for me.

Its the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex Serum. A mouthful of a product name, that I have used for quite a few years.

Practical, Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes in Rosy Tan and Rosy Nude for Dior Summer 2011

June 22, 2011 Paris B 30 Comments

It would seem like the blogosphere is all agog over the various Fall 2011 collections already. Well, I got burnt out a while ago so I’m not even going there anymore. For some reason, seeing wave after wave of new collections or of one collection turns me off that collection, believe it or not. I usually only pick up interest again once it launches or closer to launch date. So I’m going to stay firmly in Summer mode for now 🙂 Hello! Its only June!

Here are the 2 limited edition eyeshadow palettes released in the Dior Summer 2011 collection – Rosy Tan (left) and Rosy Nude (right). You will have seen them already. The palettes are very simple neutral palettes, in my view. Nothing dramatic or exciting. But very practical.

Day 21 of 30: Essence Cosmetics Stay with Me Berry Me! Lipgloss

June 22, 2011 Paris B 18 Comments

I’d been using this Essence Stay with Me lipgloss since I got it a couple of weeks ago. Its very affordable at just RM9.90 each and I had to see just how it fared.

The Essence Stay with Me lipgloss range is a longlasting lipgloss that comes in some strange colours, ranging from the bright to the strangely nude opaque pink and peach. I could not get the hang of the colours. The colours in the tube, are pretty much what you get and I went for something safe called Berry Me! which is a berry toned gloss.

Your Say: Do you repair or re-press broken powder makeup?

June 21, 2011 Paris B 58 Comments

Last week, much to my horror, my Guerlain Terra Inca powder broke. I’d accidentally knocked it off my dresser and when I opened it and saw the crack through the edge of the powder, I could not help the sinking feeling in my stomach. It wasn’t that I was so in love with it. The practical reason was “It cost me so much!”

repair or leave it

Fortunately, it did not shatter so its still useable. I just have to be careful storing it. However, I’ve had powder makeup shatter on me before and always, I’ve been advised to re-press or repair it where it can look as good as new. Sort of.

However, I don’t do this.
