Lipstick Bandits: Bright Summer Lips to Rival the Bright Summer Sun

May 28, 2012 Paris B 55 Comments

As a tropical gal, I used to look forward to Summer as a student in the UK. It meant I was going home for 3 whole months and that I would finally feel some sun and heat on my skin again. Heck! It meant I would finally be able to peel off the layers of clothes I live in for the most part of the year and finally air my skin!

These days, Summer doesn’t mean as much to me mainly because I battle the heat day in and day out, and I actually crave the cold some times. My my! Fickle aren’t we? 😛 So when the Lipstick Bandits decided to do a post about a bright lipstick for Summer, I felt a little unsure about what to pick. I live in a hot summery country all year round, and I wear most colours all the time – deep, dark, bright, red, orange, blue… ok maybe just blue lipgloss 😉

But there’s this lovely lipstick I’ve been meaning to tell you about for a while, and it incidentally is a lovely shade of coral that is quite fitting for summer and gives off a warm vibe so my pick is the Guerlain Shine Automatique in Pamplelune (240).

MWS Open Cafe Vol. 7 : Our first in 2012! Let’s Chat!

May 28, 2012 Paris B

open cafe

Hmm… quite a grand cafe this is…

Happy Monday morning, Ladies (and any gents lurking)! missed having this open no-holds barred chit chat sessions and have been meaning to have one for the longest time! I can’t believe that I last held one nearly 6 months ago. Yeah, MWS Cafe has been closed for a while, but we’re open and back in business again today! Renovations mean we now have a chandelier! My, aren’t we posh 😛

I’m working from home today (yay!) and what better way to jazz up a Monday morning than to have a nosey peek into your lives 😉 For the new and uninitiated, MWS Open Cafe is an open post where you can talk about anything in the comments, ask a question (beauty related or not, its up to you!), help answer a question, chat amongst yourselves and basically loosen up. It wouldn’t be possible to actually meet every single one of you for coffee and biscuits so we have to do this virtually for now.

I keep the comments box open for about 24 hours where I’ll answer any questions you may have, or even lend a listening ear if you have something you want to rant about (nothing too flammable so discuss within reason… but I guess you are all adult enough to know that 😉 )

So, onto the comments! 😀

A Wedding, An Outfit of the Evening (OOTE) and A Face of the Evening (FOTE)

May 27, 2012 Paris B 89 Comments

wedding

Not mine 🙂

My little brother got married last week and I was back home, getting into the swing of things, catching up with relatives and having the best time ever dressing up for the wedding banquet! Chinese wedding banquets are the stuff of legends and there is no better time to dress up for it 🙂

There isn’t much to say, except that its a bit surreal seeing my little brother get all dressed up and married. It seemed like just yesterday that this big sister was being all mean and older sisterly to him. And now…well, I can still be mean and older sisterly to him! Rank is a wonderful thing to pull and you never lose that privilege! I guess I just have 2 people to bully now, SIL included hehe… 😀

Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 12 : Otak-Otak – Small town delicacies

May 26, 2012 Paris B 35 Comments

Otak-otak is a Malaysian snack that ranks high on my “Favourite foods of Malaysia” list. It is essentially a blended paste of fish and/or prawns mixed with coconut milk, spices and chilli, wrapped up in a banana leaf and then steamed or grilled to cook it and bring out its glorious flavour.

I love mine grilled. You don’t see this everywhere. In most places they are steamed to cook. I believe that in Penang, they are wrapped up in banana leaf like a pyramid and then steamed. You can find a similar style in Thailand too. I’m not a fan of those or of those that have too much coconut milk. The ones I go for are slivers of delightful morsels, folded in coconut leaves, then grilled over an open fire to perfection.
