Your Say: Does cosmetics in pretty and cute packaging make you want to buy it?

November 5, 2013 Paris B 65 Comments

As the year comes to a close and the Christmas sets and special releases start to make their appearance, it’s when I notice that cosmetics companies up their “pretty packaging” factor. I suppose they know what women want don’t they? They want something pretty and delicate and if it houses their favourite cosmetics, all the better!

Some other cosmetics brands instead, make cute and pretty packaging the norm. Many Asian brands tend to capitalize on this. Etude House ups the cute factor and Paul & Joe, Anna Sui and Jill Stuart packaging is very pretty. I often wonder if it’s an Asian thing. After all, nowhere else in the world does a cartoon kitty without a mouth and wearing a bow get that sort of devotion, other than here in Asia.

So I was curious if your cosmetics purchases may have been swayed, even by a little bit, by the pretty or cute packaging that they come in?

On long, hot, humid days, the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks offer no-budge eye makeup

November 4, 2013 Paris B 30 Comments

Hi everyone!

Ah, it’s been over a week since my last post, which is quite something when you’re used to blogging daily, but I must say I really enjoyed the week off. I took a little time off on my birthday which nicely coincided with the weekend so I actually got a few days off work. Then when the new week started, I launched headlong into the madness, working on backlogs, desperately trying to catch up (so the blog break was quite a blessing!) and in between it all, I received some wonderful news which I’ll share with you later in the week.

During this time away from blogging, I also took a little time off from wearing makeup and reached a lot for easy to use products and one of them has been this – the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick.

I know what you’re thinking – now, where have I seen this before…. 😀

Yes, these did remind me of 2 other cream shadow sticks that I’ve featured before this and before you ask, yes, I will be doing a comparison of them in a forthcoming post so watch out for that one.

I will say though that I am suitably impressed with these cream shadow sticks and even if you are deathly afraid of going to the Bobbi Brown counter (as some of you have mentioned before) these are absolutely worth checking out and they certainly live up to their name.
