Your Say: How willing are you to splurge on hard to find beauty products?

November 20, 2013 Paris B 75 Comments

Ah beauty buffs will always be plagued by that eternal question of how to scratch that hard to find beauty itch. You know that one right? The one brand you hear so much raves about and wish we had it available locally.

The one product everyone and their mother seems to love yet is impossible to find in stores or online. That product that you’ve been dying to try but which is only found overseas and in the luxury price range.

I am a beauty buff and I have this terrible itch. It doesn’t help that I read a lot of blogs and I am suggestible and I have friends who tell me “You just HAVE TO TRY THIS!” No friends, you aren’t helping me at all!

My latest beauty itch is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders. I’ve read so much about how wonderful they are at giving an airbrushed finish to the skin. Hell, even friends rave about them *sob*

So, when I was down in Melbourne last week and out shopping with Tine, the minute I stepped into David Jones department store, I said “Look, I want to see the Hourglass powders!” They had the limited edition Ambient Lighting Palette on display and the price as you see is AU$95 (approx RM285). The palette was tiny!

I have to admit the pull was definitely there. I wanted to badly to pick up this item that is practically impossible for me to find here (and online, I’ve checked) but was I prepared to cough up that much money for it? Tine wisely told me to sleep on it which I did.

But I’m curious if you would have been willing to splurge on this hard to find beauty item or any beauty item you’ve been eyeing. Are you willing to? After all, you may not come across it again!

Compare and Contrast: Cream Eyeshadow Sticks – Excellent Innovation!

November 18, 2013 Paris B 17 Comments

When I blogged about the Bobbi Brown cream shadow sticks a couple of weeks back, I promised you I’d do a quick comparison based on the shadow sticks I’ve tried so far, and here it is! I do try to keep my promises.

Cream shadow sticks comparison

I chose to compare just the 3 that you see, because these are the only ones I’ve tried. Makes sense right? I can’t possibly compare something I’ve never tried 😛 So whilst there are others out there (and I’d love to hear from you if you’ve tried some other good ones) here are some comparisons from Chanel, Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown, and my personal favourite.

New! Neal’s Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Cream and New Store

November 15, 2013 Paris B 10 Comments

Many years ago when I was in Covent Garden, I remembered seeing a store called Neal’s Yard Remedies. At the time, I was in a bit of a hurry and my store to target was Lush. I then forgot about Neal’s Yard Remedies until I came across it on some English blogs.

Well, this English Certified Organic skincare brand is here in Malaysia, and has been for about a year or so I believe. I came across their counter at Isetan KLCC but there is now a proper flagship store opened at The Gardens, Mid Valley. I stopped by a couple of weeks back to learn a little about the brand and also to check out the new Frankincense Intense cream.

Trying the Ecoya Hand & Body Lotion is almost turning me into a body lotion convert!

November 14, 2013 Paris B 20 Comments

Time was, when body lotion and even body butters featured in my body skincare routine, but it was that that ultimately turned me off because of the sticky feeling. You now that feeling don’t you? Ick! So I later turned to using body oil and never looked back.

But recently I was introduced to this hand and body lotion from Ecoya that had me a little intrigued. I knew Ecoya was an Australian brand of candles, but I didn’t know they had body care products too!

The Ecoya Hand and Body Lotion comes in a few gentle scents and the one I have is Sweet Pea and Jasmine. These are the same scents available in Ecoya’s candle range so yes, you can smell like your favourite candle scent hehe! Now, I was a little concerned when I first saw the name because jasmine isn’t my favourite scent, but I was willing to give it a go for the greater good, as it were. I’m so happy I did!
