When your skin is showing its sensitive side, the Tatcha Indigo Soothing Triple Recovery Cream will calm it right down

June 20, 2016 Paris B 10 Comments

When I first received the Tatcha Indigo Soothing Triple Recovery Cream, I was elated, and also a little apprehensive. I feel that way every time that I’m presented a product that’s meant to soothe irritated skin, or is touted as being made for sensitive skin. I used to pride myself on having skin like an elephant’s hide – tough, able to tolerate my most extreme ministrations. So, it makes it hard for me to evaluate if a product actually soothes the skin – I wouldn’t know!

One day, all that changed.

It’s been twice thus far, in the space of a few months, that I’ve found myself scratching my head, wondering where the heck I went wrong with my skincare routine. The first time, I figured out that it was a product that was causing my skin to go a little haywire, breaking out randomly, having widespread areas of rough patches. I stopped using the product, and worked on repairing and soothing my then, irritated skin.

That was when I broke out the Tatcha Indigo Soothing Triple Recovery Cream. I needed something that wouldn’t aggravate nor irritate my skin further, and I wanted to see how well (or not) this popular cream worked.

Tatcha is a brand with a very unique approach to skincare, and an interesting story behind it centering on the mystique surrounding Japanese beauty. It takes quite a lot for a brand-new brand to capture the imagination as well as Tatcha has. I think it’s to do with their beautiful aesthetic, interesting story, and for most, effective (albeit pricey) products. I told you about the cleansing oil before this (loved it and finished it, much to my consternation) but today, it’s this cream that so many people love.

The Body Shop Pinita Colada Collection invites you to escape to a tropical fantasy island for a limited time

June 17, 2016 Paris B 9 Comments

If you like Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I’m the love that you’ve looked for, come with me, and escape

~ Rupert Holmes, Escape (The Piña Colada Song)

The minute I walked into the new The Body Shop store at KLCC (new concept store, first in Malaysia and only 2nd in Asia, after Japan!) and clapped my eyes on the new, limited edition Piñita Colada bath and body collection, I couldn’t stop humming the song. You know that song right? The aptly named Piña Colada song! If you saw me and didn’t notice me humming, not to worry, I was. In my head.

As much as I enjoy the jaunty, catchy tune and lyrics, and as lovely as it was to sip on piña colada on a hot afternoon, I’m actually not a fan of piña colada! LOL! If you’re unfamiliar, the piña colada drink is made of coconut cream, rum and pineapple juice and it’s very sweet. A very girlie drink – a drink you want to have in hand as you sit in a beach hut, facing the blue ocean, feeling the warm sea breeze blow through your hair.

As you can expect therefore, this is what the Piñita Colada collection evokes – Sea, sand, sun, cold drinks and hot sandy bodies… and sunscreen! 😀

Should you apply concealer before foundation or after foundation? Here are my guidelines

June 15, 2016 Paris B 14 Comments

Last week, I shared a beauty tip with you regarding the application of concealer and how it can help your cushion foundation actually look and last better. If you missed it, here it is with all the step-by-step pictures to guide you along.

But then, I got some questions about how we should really be applying concealer. Should you apply concealer before foundation or after foundation? I did after all share another tip a few years ago telling you to apply concealer AFTER foundation.

I don’t blame anyone for the confusion. I was too initially, until I realised that hey, it’s just makeup! Besides, rules are meant to be broken 😀 So, here are my suggestions on the manner and sequence which you can apply your concealer and foundation, for best results, based on my experience 🙂 You can then tell me if you do it BEFORE or AFTER foundation 😉

I gave in to the bag lust! Now let me tell you about that elusive Mansur Gavriel Mini Bucket Bag

June 13, 2016 Paris B 27 Comments

I did say I had a bag lust that would not die, didn’t I? So, what is a girl to do? Give in, of course. Well, this one did, when browing Net-a-Porter one day, and seeing one of the elusive Mansur Gavriel bucket bags pop up online.

Truth is, these bags aren’t very elusive anymore. Not the way it was about a year or so back, when it was nigh impossible to snag any online. I have spoken to friends who put themselves on waitlists, and who would wake up in the middle of the night (here in Malaysia) to snag themselves one. I refused to give in to that frenzy, keeping a “If it’s meant to be, I’ll get it eventually” approach. And I did! I think it’s because we’re reaching saturation point, where the demand has primarily been met, and perhaps supply has been increased so it’s much easier to get one these days.

I’ve been asked by a few people what I think of the Mansur Gaviel Bucket Bag and if it’s worth the money, hence this post. The first thing I’ll say is this:-

  • If you’re paranoid about the fact the bag has no proper closure except for the drawstring that barely keeps the bag closed, or
  • If you’re paranoid about keeping your bags in a pristine, just came in from the factory look, or
  • If you have a more formal fashion sense, or
  • If you don’t like bags hitting against your hip, or
  • If you don’t like too large or too small bags,

then you should just let your bag lust die, and skip this altogether. You will likely hate this and consider it a waste of money. As for me, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship.
