New! Burberry Beauty Autumn/Winter Collection 2012 and Velvet Foundation

November 9, 2012 Paris B 47 Comments

I’ve been really busy at work this week (slaying dragons, I said, which explains the missing post yesterday. Dragon refused to remain slain long enough for me to write a post 😛 ) So one of the things I made sure I put on my face in the morning is a longwearing foundation because I knew I would be having a long day and I needed to put my best face forward. The past 2 days, I’ve been using the Diorskin Forever foundation which I was a bit on the fence about before, but which I’ve since worked around and love it for days when I need my makeup to set well and last all day without looking shiny. It involves a serum but I’ll share that tip soon – can’t spill all my secrets at one go right? 😉

But today its not about that. Its about the fact that Burberry Beauty has come out with a longwearing matte foundation too – the Velvet Foundation. Its been released together with the Autumn/Winter 2012 makeup collection that includes 3 new eyeshadow colours, and 2 lipsticks.

Based on my understanding, everything will remain part of the permanent collection so you have the time to think about it and whether you want it. That’s good too because we only have 1 Burberry Beauty counter in Malaysia and not everyone has access to it 🙂

I’ll just run through what’s available and tell you a little bit about the Velvet Foundation, and you can then tell me if you have tried Burberry makeup and what you like from it 🙂

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua – The only foundation I have had to hunt down for my shade : Worth it?

November 7, 2012 Paris B 75 Comments

I remember this being a highly raved product some time last year, if memory serves me right. So many people loved it for being light and comfortable on skin. I was told that it was even better than the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation and some said, even better than the Diorskin Nude foundation. Naturally, I had to try it.

I’d never had much luck with Chanel foundations before this. A friend gave me a powder foundation once, and that made me look like an oompa loompa. For some reason, it gave my skin an orange cast that wasn’t flattering at all. When I went to check out the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation at the Chanel counters locally, I had no luck either. The lightest shade they bring in locally is B20 or BR20 and that is a full shade darker than my skintone. The lovely SA who served me and who gave me a mini makeover fully agreed that it wasn’t my shade and that I should be taking B10. BR10 was too pink.

When I was down in Singapore last year, I checked out B10 at the Chanel boutique. Its the lightest shade in the range and the SA there told me it would be my shade. We did the stripe test etc and it seemed close. I ended up picking up a bottle of Vitalumiere Aqua foundation in B10 later. I’d love to be able to tell you that I love it.

Your Say: Have you ever met a doctor who slags off your routine?

November 6, 2012 Paris B 75 Comments

doctor slagging off your beauty routine

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in a presentation by a doctor who I believe is a dermatologist at one of the big hospitals in town. It was supposed to be a presentation about the importance of using proper skincare and sunscreen.

However, as the presentation went on, I felt very irked by what the good doctor was saying. In a long, trying half an hour presentation, he effectively slagged off the beauty routine of every woman sitting in the room. You didn’t need serums, he said. You don’t need to use more than 3 products and anything else is a waste of time and money. You won’t be able to keep up with your routine if you use more than 3 products – cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen. If you spend more than 5 minutes doing your beauty routine, you are wasting your time.

Why, thanks doc. I regularly spend more than 5 minutes on my skincare routine and I use multiple products. I have been doing so for years and hardly slacked off.

I was very irritated. This was a presentation to a roomful of beauty editors from various press and he was saying all this? It wasn’t what he was saying but the way he was saying it, talking down to everyone in the room. I was so irritated, I left the minute it was over. The product being launched was lost to me. All I remember from that event is how irritated this doctor made me feel and how I was convinced I’d never ever want to consult with him. Ever. Interesting, because he was just going into private practice too.

Have you ever had a similar sort of experience? If not at a presentation, have you gone to see a doctor for a problem only to have them slag off your routine, or criticize or belittle you for the choices you make?

Tip and How To: Using Eyeliner as an Eyeshadow Base

November 5, 2012 Paris B 68 Comments

easy eyeshadow tutorial

A little while ago, I shared with you some tips I picked up after going for a Dior makeover and I told you that one of the most interesting tips I learnt was to use eyeliner as a eyeshadow base. I realised that my text instructions were a little confusing, so here is a pictorial tutorial, as it were, on how to use this very easy, very effective trick to apply eyeshadow.

Incidentally, I had a Burberry Beauty makeover recently and the makeup artist used the same trick! He did use a different coloured liner for different results, but the essence is the same. This must be some secret makeup artist trick I’ve just stumbled on and how you have access to it too 🙂
