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.
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

Congratulations again, PB! You have that casual-glam vibe going on and look so gorgeous with that bob 🙂 I haven’t had the chance to pick up a copy yet but am definitely gonna.
Aww thanks so much Lyn! 😀 The hair’s been cut even shorter now (and I think they made me look like I was wearing a helmet!) LOL
You rock red lips! I think you look like an air stewardess, always polished and personable. It must have been an awesome experience and a milestone in your blogging career, be it full or part!
Aww thanks so much for the compliment! I’m not all that nice or patient or unflappable as an air stewardess should be but I to try to at least look polished – important to put a good face forward at work don’t you agree? At least even if I botch up, I look good doing it haha! 😀 It was great fun and definitely a proud moment for me. Thank you for sharing in it 😀
