I never use hand cream, but the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream changed my mind

August 9, 2012 Paris B 69 Comments

Its no secret that hand cream and I aren’t friends. I don’t like using hand creams and I absolutely dislike the feel of hand cream. I know many people say it helps their hands in a place like an office where air conditioning can be drying but as for me, nah. Not for me thank you. What I usually do is after applying my body oils, I’d just pump a little extra for my hands before bed. Its about the only time I can tolerate using it, because I go to bed thereafter and I don’t have to worry about leaving marks on everything I’ve touched.

Yet, as it happens, I’ve discovered a hand cream I could like. And will repurchase. *gasp* I know 😛

The cream in question is the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream which promises to soften hands, minimize age spots and strengthen nails. Minimize age spots! *looks down at hands* Another thing to worry about eh? 😛

RMK Makeup Base and Liquid Foundation have all your bases well covered

August 8, 2012 Paris B 69 Comments

I used to be very active on a makeup forum back before I started blogging, and at the time the “star foundation” everyone was raving over worldwide, was the RMK cream foundation. Any request for a foundation rec would inevitably throw up RMK. Yet I was also warned repeatedly that the cream foundation might be a little heavy for our tropical weather so I was always a little afraid to try it. Why did no one then ever tell me there was a lighter liquid foundation option?! 😛

Well let me tell you now, that there is a liquid foundation and there is a makeup base and they are both excellent products.

The products themselves are superb and I don’t hand out superlatives like this lightly. Texture is featherlight on skin, colour match is very impressive, and it is just an all round winner.

I will however grouse about the packaging, as we’ll see. Yeah, it would appear that nothing is really perfect. Sigh…

Tip: Having trouble sleeping? 2 drops of pure lavender oil may help!

August 7, 2012 Paris B 43 Comments

I go through periods when I have insufficient sleep or poor quality sleep or I just have trouble going to sleep. Its a bit of a curse because I then wake up in the morning feeling more tired than the night before. Sometimes, it could be because of things happening in the day, or work, or personal matters or just nothing whatsoever.

I try not to be too dependant on sleep aids, but when sleep does not come even after tossing and turning in bed, I turn to a tried and true solution.

Lavender Oil.

I choose not to burn the oil because while that works, its just too dangerous to leave a naked flame alight while I sleep. If you have an electric burner that you can put on timer, then some lavender oil in some water will help. But I do it this way. All you need is a piece of tissue paper, and some pure lavender oil.

Lipstick Bandits : I Sheer-ly would have no problem finding a sheer lipstick to share!

August 6, 2012 Paris B 50 Comments

(Boss LB’s face appears on screen) Your mission, Lipstick Bandit, should you choose to accept it, is to feature a sheer lipstick. You may buy, beg, borrow but please try not to steal one for your August assignment. Good luck. This message will self destruct in 5 seconds.

PB: Yes boss! [This should be easy. I have a ton of sheer lipsticks!]

[10 days later, after rootling through the lipstick drawer at Casa PB]

PB: Grr… these lipsticks aren’t sheer. They are all actually quite pigmented! Where are my sheer lipsticks! 

And would you believe it? I couldn’t find any that weren’t discontinued or from my fave Japanese brand Kanebo T’estimo that’s now defunct! Its amazing right? So what did I end up with?

Chanel.

I know. So awkward. But it was a lipstick and it was sheer and I think many will be happy that its actually still available 🙂

I present you the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick in Elise. Elise is a lovely deep berry-red shade in the tube. One of those colours I wear a lot of. But it is very surprising once swatched.
