Time Out: Time for reflection and to enjoy the now

October 24, 2012 Paris B 66 Comments

enjoy the now

Dear friends,

Some of you may realise the reason for this little blip in the daily updates on MWS, most of you may not 😉

But the reason isn’t relevant, the timing is. Its quite opportune that I traditionally take a one day break around this time, because I wanted to let you know that I’m taking a bit of a longer break this time to step back, live a little and smell the roses. Yes, I’m taking a short blog hiatus 🙂

Your Say: What’s the worst Makeup or Skincare mistake that’s ever happened to you?

October 23, 2012 Paris B 85 Comments

makeup and skincare mistakes

Last week, those of you following me on Twitter might have come across this status update:

Just mistook nail polish remover for eye makeup remover. Hurts like a mofo! Don’t try this at home kids!

— Paris B (@paris_b) October 19, 2012

Yeah, I know. Ouch!

I’m not quite sure what happened, to be perfectly honest. I was tired, yes but not exceedingly so. It wasn’t terribly late, but I’d had some furniture delivered, and I had been clearing up my spaces. I was about to have my shower, when I realised I still had my makeup on from the day. (For the record, the Kanebo Lunasol Water Gel Foundation is seriously something. So impressed!)

So I reached for the first blue bottle I saw on the counter, picked it up, thought it smelled funny, wet a piece of cotton pad, laid the cotton pad against my eye … and promptly ran screaming for the bathroom. It BURNS!

Kick up your heels at Le Grand Bal and keep dance partners close with Dior Grand Bal Carnet de Maquillage

October 22, 2012 Paris B 29 Comments

Every year, at about this time, we start hearing the distant jingle jingle of sleigh bells, and seeing fairy glitter fall over the seasonal makeup collections, for it is about this time every year that the Christmas collections are revealed. Expect sparkles and shimmer and shine and glitter and gold and everything that shiny, pretty and sparkly.

The Christmas collection from Dior is no different. Themed Grand Bal and inspired by balls and ballgowns and an age of glamour, the items in the collection come in elegant gold boxes. But today, let me show you the star item in the Grand Bal collection – Grand Bal Carnet de Maquillage Makeup Palette for Glowing Eyes & Lips.

dior grand bal palette

Last year, if I recall correctly, there was no one special item in the Dior Christmas collection. I picked up instead the Couture Golds eyeshadow palette which I absolutely adore. The previous year, Dior did a Minaudiere clutch. Beautiful to look at, but ultimately I felt the quality of the product was a bit lacking. That seems to be a bit of a problem with these special palettes. They are gorgeous to look at but sometimes, the contents aren’t up to par.

So, the very first time I saw pictures of the Dior Grand Bal palette, I confess to feeling a bit meh about it. Actually no. I was a lot meh about it. The whole compact is solid gold (not literally of course. Have you seen the price of gold lately? Its horrifying!) in colour which I thought looked a bit tacky.

But somehow, it nagged at me, and sometimes, you just have to see something in person to appreciate it better 🙂

At least I hope its the moment you are waiting for because its mine 😀 Your nominations have been tabulated and the Top 5 from each category has been shortlisted. I had a friend do it. Someone who is mercilessly ruthless at disqualifying data that doesn’t meet specifications and at weeding out spam. We all need someone like this in our lives 🙂

Remember my post about Celebrate October? If you don’t, better read about it here first so you don’t miss out! I’ve changed the rules so you only have to vote in a minimum of 28 categories now to be eligible to enter. I realised some categories may not be applicable/familiar to everyone 🙂

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dre Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dress up or put on makeup since we’re staying home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t smell like a million bucks from head to toe! 🥰
I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
