FitFlop Galore at the Bratpack store

July 31, 2011 Paris B 47 Comments

I’d not been paying much attention to FitFlop for  a while. I have a couple of pairs by now, and I do still swear by them. I wear almost no other slippers or casual shoes/sandals anymore these days. But when you already own a pair or two, its better to just turn away when confronted with new designs lest the wallet bleeds.

bratpack fitflops

But when I was strolling around Hartamas Shopping Centre and chanced upon a store called Bratpack that had a veritable WALL of Fitflop sandals/flip flops, I just had to stop and look. They don’t only have the flip flops for men and women, they also have shoes and boots!

You Asked: My Skincare Routine Day and Night

July 30, 2011 Paris B 39 Comments

Morning! Rise and shine! Or if you’re reading this at any other time, rise and shine anyway 🙂

I’ve had a request from reader Shay most recently in the comments, and from an uncountable number of emails, to share my skincare routine. I’ve been meaning to do a post about it for the longest time, so no better time than the present. Really!

Note: (1) Products I use will change from time to time. What does not change however, is the routine and sequence of products used. (2) I am on a hydrating and anti-aging skincare regime (3) This isn’t gospel and is liable to change often 🙂

Here’s my daily skincare routine and the products I’m currently using. Remember, you can click through to read my reviews if there are any 🙂

Morning – Rise and Shine!

  • Wash with cleanser du jour – presently Vichy Essentialles facial cleanser * (but I’m getting bored) or Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Oil
  • Pat on a lotion – presently Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil Free toner or L’Occitane Angelica face toner

Its time for your close up with the Smashbox Softbox Eyeshadow Palette

July 29, 2011 Paris B 43 Comments

I first saw the limited edition Smashbox Softbox palette in Sephora Ion Orchard. I swatched some of the colours under the eyes of a scary pushy SA and instantly fell in love with this shade called Truffle.

I’m in a crazy phase of falling in love with random taupe colours – Truffle is one of them (I wish Smashbox would come out with a single!) and the other is Chanel’s Fauve – but you’re not going to see it here (yet) because it costs over RM100 for a single and I’m still debating dropping that sort of cash on ONE shadow. I’m crazy… not stupid… yet.

smashbox softbox palette

Ok back to Smashbox 😛 For just about the price of 2 Chanel Ombre Essentialle single eyeshadows, you get a palette of 9 neutral eyeshadow shades and 2 cream shadows/liners and a double-ended brush… AND a lid primer. Will the excitement never end 😛

If you’re wondering what on earth a softbox is, its that contraption that professional photographers use to diffuse lighting. You know those umbrella-y boxy things they use to shine on you to get a soft diffused look? Yes, that one. And that’s the inspiration behind this palette too. The eyeshadows aren’t loud, smack in your face, vibrant colours. They are soft, diffused and when applied, layer to give a there… but not… colour … but not sort of look. I thought I’d be all blah about it.

But its the one palette thats gotten me compliments every single day I wear it. Its fascinating really. And the best part is that with your eyes kept all diffused and soft, you can go with the red lippie! 😀

Fortify and Soothe and Hydrate… and all that : Take it away Vichy Aqualia Thermal!

July 28, 2011 Paris B 28 Comments

I’d been wanting to tell you about this hydrating serum for a while now, but it kept getting shelved for one reason or another or was pushed aside for one obligation or another but no longer! I’m usually very picky about pharmacy brand serums – very few ever make the cut for me. But this one does.

vichy aqualia thermal serum

Its the Vichy Aqualia Thermal hydrating serum or to give it its full name Vichy Aqualia Thermal Fortifying & Soothing Serum 24hr Hydrating Concentrate *whew* I’d had it for a while stuck in a corner, but I took to it when I noticed that I was running out of my Estee Lauder Hydratrionist serum really fast and I needed a backup.

What it is, is a hydrating serum so it goes on after cleansing and toner (if you use it) and before moisturizer. I use it in the day and sometimes at night too. And its earned itself a semi-permanent place on my dresser. Nothing’s permanent you see, since I’m fickle so semi-permanent is about as good as it gets!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
