Her World Beauty Awards 2012: Judging Beauty Products with the People’s Voice

June 26, 2012 Paris B 48 Comments

If you’ve come by my blog through the Her World magazine July 2012 issue (Malaysia edition), I bid you welcome 🙂

Yes, its one of those absolutely thrilling moments for me, personally because I’m all narcissistic that way 😉 But for anyone who remembered my trumpeting about being one of the judges of the Her World Beauty Awards 2012, its OUT! 😀 😀

Its just 1 page so no need to get all excited lol… I’ve got a shot of the brief interview (they didn’t publish my more irreverent answers which included “soap” as my pick for the best beauty product invented! I think its too far out 😛 ) So if you’d like to see what my biggest beauty pet peeve is, or my view on the best beauty trend invented, here it is with a small behind the scenes look 😉

Here’s some of the questions posed and my answers 🙂 I wasn’t aware I was representing the voice of the people. I hope I got it right somehow 😛 Oh and I love that they gave me red lipstick for the photoshoot 😀

I do have one small correction to the introduction. Blogging about beauty and mywomenstuff.com isn’t my job per se. I call it my “part time job” but it is not a job in the same way of a real job that pays the bills 🙂 If it was, I’d definitely update much more often (and inundate your mail box and rss readers hehe… ;)) But otherwise, they got the rest of it right – you all do appreciate anything to do with beauty right? 😀

I didn’t manage to have someone with me this time to take behind the scenes shots during the photoshoot which was  a lot of fun, so I’ll just leave you with one small one.

her world beauty awards thank you

I did have to go through most of the nominated products, some in sample sizes, some in full sizes and had some friends be my guinea pigs. It was a daunting task as I only had something like 3 weeks to make my picks. Happily though, I did see that many of my favourites won in their respective categories, and these are products I’d already been using and loving 🙂 A list of the Her World Beauty Awards 2012 winners are here.

Amongst the winners (and my personal picks) were:-

  • Liquid foundation: Shiseido Perfect Refining liquid foundation
  • Eyeshadows: Dior 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette
  • Lipsticks: Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet
  • Toners: Sothy’s [W+] Preparative Lotion
  • Whitening Moisturisers:Clarins Whitening Velvet Emulsion
  • Hand Treatment : Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream
  • Spot Correctors :Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum +
  • Facial Spray :Melvita Floral Water
  • Sun Care:Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing UV Milk SPF50

I’m incredibly thankful to everyone at Her World who allowed me to represent the people – beats being a boring Member of Parliament and having to look at filling potholes and unclogging drains, for sure! 😉

It was fun, I had a great experience and I thank you for reading my rambling 🙂

xoxo

    Wow, congratulations! Love your picture, hair and lips are fantastic! Do you remember the lipstick shade you had on for the shoot?
    I’m obsessed with beauty lists, so off to check out Her World’s. Interested in the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream because the hand sanitiser at work is making my hands look and feel terrible!

      Thank you Sam 🙂 The Makeup Artist mixed a bunch of colours because the photographer kept complaining the flash and lighting made it look too light. So it was super intense, and I think it was Mac and maybe another brand but I don’t remember now, sorry!

      Thanks Dom! It started as a Mac. But they eventually layered on about 3 or 4 different colours because it wasn’t bright enough. Scary in person but ok in photos 😛

    i love how they described you in the ‘judges’ page!
    “She started blogging in March 2007, and has not looked back since. She’s well-known in the blogosphere as one of the pioneers of beauty blogs in Malaysia, and has an extensive following from all over the world.
    We love how she manages to pull off the oriental beauty look, complete with winged black eyeliner and red, red lips.”

    Way to go Paris!!!! Congrats!!!!
    ps: your red red lips are GORGEOUS!

    Awesome and you look so beautiful Paris 🙂 Love the red jacket and the blue boat neck top. The boat neck top accentuates your beautiful long necks! Nice nice 🙂 Yay, now I can show the page on the magazine and tell my friends, she’s a famous personality and I know her lol. I am very proud of Hada Labo sunblock – one page devoted for this HG drug store product! Will spend the weekend running through the HWBA list and err, perhaps update my shopping cart!

    Ha..ha.. I’m surprise that they thought blogging pays our bill.

      Hi Lavender, thank you so much! This one wasn’t as tiring but I felt awkward because I’m crap at posing for the camera. They had to take a million shots of me looking just the same lol!

    I’m so late to the party, I apologise. So very proud of you of this achievement and dude, you look smoking hawt in that colour blocking outfit! You should colour block more. (and not my kind of colour block, by the way. Black-and-black)

    Reply
    • Paris B says

      July 2, 2012 at 11:36 am

      No apologies needed! Thank you so much 😀 I haven’t done much colour blocking mostly because I think it looks best layered and its just too darned hot to layer anything here. Maybe when the weather cools down, or when I find something light to 😉

      Thank you so much Germs! <- I'll need to know the reason behind this odd nick soon! 😉 I am so freaked out its not funny. I refuse to even stop by a counter if the SA wears one of them. I was once served by an SA at RMK who wore these iris enlarging lenses in a black black. She had long black hair and was very fair. I felt like I was in a horror movie 😛
