PREVIEW: Nars NARSissist Eye Palette – Not just for the narcissistic

February 28, 2014 Paris B 38 Comments

It’s funny you know, calling this post a “Preview” when there are already loads and loads of blog posts online about that eye palette that has everyone pinching pennies till they squeak! You know that palette don’t you? The one that makes you feel that little bit more ….narcissistic? 😉

Eeee….!!! 😀

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!

Hold your horses ladies, don’t go rushing off to the NARS store just yet. You can’t buy this one locally yet. The Nars store here will only get their stocks in, in late April-May but if you’d like to get on their list, be sure to give them a call or drop by the store.

I was given a chance to take a look at the palette, have a quick makeover with it, and buy if it I wanted at a special weekend preview last week. Naturally I did. For the good of the blog, I say! At least that’s what I told myself and my quietly weeping wallet. “There, there… it’s for the blog!” Repeat that enough and I’d even start believing it 😛

So I haven’t had the chance to play with it yet (It’s been an abominably long week! Can the weekend come already?) so I haven’t been able to get you swatches but I have some pictures of the palette and some very quick thoughts on this after some preliminary playing at the store. So, just to pacify you you know… hehe… I’ll have a proper review come up soon, before it’s available in store.

Extra! Extra! Read all about the Bobbi Brown Extra Balm Rinse!

February 27, 2014 Paris B 32 Comments

When I first declared love for cleansing balms I had people telling me “Try the Bobbi Brown one! Loads of product, great value! Smells amazing!” and you know what I thought? Wait a minute – Bobbi Brown? They do skincare?!

Apparently they do! And apparently I’m told that some of their skincare isn’t too bad which made me curious, because I don’t always associate known makeup brands like Bobbi Brown and Nars with skincare. But when you know of the big companies backing them who do do skincare (Estee Lauder Group and Shiseido Group respectively) then it sort of makes sense doesn’t it? 🙂

bobbi brown extra rinse balm

So one day, I was given the opportunity to try the Bobbi Brown Extra Rinse Balm cleansing balm and after I’d finished up a few of the ones I had in rotation, it was time to break this out and see how I felt about it.

I use the word “break” in a rather hesitant way, as this product comes in a large, heavy glass jar and that just spells disaster all over the bathroom! So I am very careful to keep this out of the wet area and as I use dry hands to handle it, accidents can be minimized, but not eradicated. Please be very careful because it is large and unwieldy.

I’ve given this almost 2 months use to see what I think about it, and apologies to the fans out there, I’m afraid I’m a little on the fence about this one.

Does Nars Sex Fantasy blush and Villa Lante Satin Lip Pencil make the Final Cut?

February 26, 2014 Paris B 33 Comments

The Nars Final Cut collection was a cheek and lip heavy collection in sweet pink shades that came out just before Valentine’s Day, ostensibly to capture the market for anyone looking for something sweet and pink. I have to say that as I rarely pay a lot of attention to Nars blushes these days (after poor experiences with their packaging) I overlooked this one.

I was however sent a blush in the titillatingly named “Sex Fantasy” along with a Satin Lip Pencil in “Villa Lante” so I thought I’d quickly tell you what I thought about them because one was a surprise hit and the other, a rather expected, washout. It’s also limited edition, so don’t pause for too long if you’re contemplating something from the collection.

The question of course, is which is which?!

Wouldn’t you like to know eh? 😀 A little tidbit of information re: naming of the rather more exotic Nars blushes here in Malaysia and I’m told in a couple more conservative countries, is that numbers maybe used in place of the name we know. So for example, Sex Fantasy will be labelled 4006 at the display. Less shocking, but if you know the name of the blush, the Makeup Artists will be able to help you 🙂

Another thing I learned recently also, is that the infamous Nars rubbery packaging has been reformulated and improved upon to withstand heat and humidity. Guess they were listening to us after all! Someone I know showed me her blush compact that she carries around in her bag and has been for the past 6 months and although a little dusty, it wasn’t yet sticky and melty so perhaps there is some truth in it after all! I do find that it feels smoother.

So onto Sex Fantasy and Villa Lante. Are these colours you’d wear?

Your Say: What beauty products don’t you care for?

February 25, 2014 Paris B 78 Comments

Hello beauty buffs!

Well, you must be a beauty buff, since you’re reading this blog that’s mostly about beauty, right? 😀 I am a self-confessed beauty buff and I love all these little pampering things we have and use for our skins – makeup, skincare, shower gels…

Yet, there are some products I don’t really care for.

hair nail hand lotions

As I’m sure you do too!

For me, some of these are just products I don’t use, or aspects of personal beauty that do not attract me at all. For others, I’m just not fussed about them.

What are yours? 🙂

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
