Year-end musings as the dawn of a New Year creeps over the horizon

December 26, 2016 Paris B 48 Comments

Hello friends!

I hope that the Christmas season has treated you well, and that even if you don’t celebrate the festival, you have enjoyed the long weekend break. It is a good time to get together with family or friends, or better yet, to stay home and recharge.

to the new year

A brand new year is around the corner, and I had high hopes of being right here, talking to you about beauty and pretty things till the year end. But as they say, Man proposes but God disposes. Something personal has come up and I’d like to just take a little time to myself for now. I’d like to leave you instead with a bit of year-end musing on 2016.

Hunting down the Holy Grail exfoliating toner that is the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50W

December 23, 2016 Paris B 39 Comments

Often, when you finally get your hands on the one item you want most ever, you can feel one of two ways – elated at discovering what a truly AMAZING product it is, or bitterly disappointed.

Getting my hands on Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 was like getting my hands on the Holy Grail and left me feeling a little worried.

Would I love it, or would it just be an overhyped piece of crap?

Stop Press! Bobbi Brown is leaving Bobbi Brown – say what?!

December 21, 2016 Paris B 27 Comments

I woke up yesterday to a slew of terrible news on my twitter timeline concerning world events. It’s starting to feel again like we’re teetering on the edge of a World War, if not more armed conflict. Amongst all that was a major piece of news from the beauty world – Bobbi Brown was leaving her eponymous brand. My head reeled at that point.

2016 has been one hell of a ride and even in its sunset days, it’s still continuing to stun us with bizzare and surreal news. If there was ever an annus horribilis, this is it!

bobbi brown kokeshi

As was reported in WWD, makeup artist Bobbi Brown is leaving her cosmetics brand after 25 years. The brand celebrated its 25th anniversary this year in 2016, and there was a slew of products to mark the milestone. What none of us consumers were expecting of course, was for the lady herself to bid her brand goodbye.

I got to thinking then of how a brand like Bobbi Brown, who has always been fronted and led  by the creator herself, would fare once she leaves. That’s in just a few days for she steps away from her brand by the end of 2016!

The Libre de Chanel Holiday 2016 collection draws inspiration from the urban style but it is the colours that shine

December 19, 2016 Paris B 4 Comments

Chanel has a new creative director in Lucia Pica and she’s doing some interesting things that bears watching. Her first collection was the Le Rouge collection, with an interesting take on a Fall/Autumn collection and her first Christmas, or as some will have it, Holiday collection, is similarly different. The Libre de Chanel Holiday 2016 collection is a departure from festive reds and golds.

Like the Dior collection, I received this late, but I know it’s still available at the brand new Chanel Beauty boutique at Pavilion KL if you’re interested. (you’d want to visit, because there’s this amazing highlighter I’m going to show you that’s only available there!)

I’ll take you quickly through the few items I have here, and show you the beautiful limited edition Camelia de Chanel highlighter, that apparently isn’t yet available in many places. I’m not sure why, but it’s available here, and quite likely, flying off the shelves as we speak! 😛

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dre Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dress up or put on makeup since we’re staying home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t smell like a million bucks from head to toe! 🥰
I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
