I was once blind to the world of the visually impaired but now I see

February 27, 2019 Paris B 16 Comments

For most of us who are able-bodied, it is very hard to imagine what it’s like to not have one of the 5 basic senses a normal person has. The 5 senses, if you haven’t thought about it for a while, are the sense of sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste.

Most of us reading this will have all 5 senses intact. But I’m sure that there are more than a few of you, who have problems with at least one – sight. Most of us struggle with some sort of issues with our sight.

Last week, I spent one of the longest hours of my life in an environment alien to me. I was deprived of sight – and to sum it up in one word, it was unnerving.

My Bobbi Brown Story : All good stories start with a good foundation

February 25, 2019 Paris B 16 Comments

There are some makeup brands that enter your life like a comet, flying straight for your heart, and making a large impact. There are others that simmer at the back of your consciousness for years, like a slow burn, before one burst of oxygen ignites this interest and causes it to burst into flame.

For me, Bobbi Brown was the latter brand.

I only started experimenting with makeup when I started my first job. Neutral, muted colours that Bobbi Brown was known for, was not part of my makeup vocabulary then. I was all about blue and green eyeshadow, and shimmer and making sure people knew I had makeup on!

But to facilitate the application of all these colours, I needed a canvas.

Liquid foundation was new to me then. I had only used powder foundation (then known as 2-way cake – hands up everyone who remembers it called that!) and my one foray into liquid foundation was a disaster of epic proportions. I picked the wrong brand, wrong shade and wrong formula. Understandably, I was not confident to pick the right liquid foundation for myself.

Then, the slow burn that was at the back of my mind whispered to me – what about Bobbi Brown?

And just like that, a puff of oxygen blew across my consciousness and fanned my interest.

When sleep eludes me ThisWorks Deep Sleep Night Oil helps Mr. Sandman do his job better

February 22, 2019 Paris B 8 Comments

Every time I look at my nephews who refuse to nap or go to bed at night, I tell them “Wait till you get older! You might not even be able to go to sleep when you want to!”

Hello sleeping problems.

this works deep sleep night oil

I am not a chronic insomniac, but I do go through bouts of having trouble sleeping. I try to manage it, but sometimes it hits you late at night, when you find yourself staring at the ceiling, willing sleep to come, and it eludes you.

I’d recently been going through such a bout, when digging around my skincare cupboard yielded a surprise find – This Works Deep Sleep Night Oil. I’d forgotten I had a bottle!

Let’s hear it for the Boy de Chanel makeup collection! (and especially for the Eyebrow Pencil!)

February 20, 2019 Paris B 8 Comments

Back last year, when Chanel announced their Boy de Chanel range, I think I got more excited about it than most men LOL! To tell the truth, I wasn’t that big on the whole gender equality part – Chanel makeup packaging is, to me, quite neutral seeing as it’s all black anyway.

But I loved the look of the matte navy blue packaging. So, when the opportunity arose for me to get an item from the range in Seoul, Korea where it was first launched, I opted to pick up the Boy de Chanel Eyebrow Pencil.

The Boy de Chanel Eyebrow Pencil comes in 3 shades (Grey 204, Deep Brown 206 and Black 208) which are on the deeper end of the colour spectrum. I suppose it’s premised on the fact that men have darker brows? Who knows!

But I’ve been playing around with it for a while, and I also recently visited the Chanel beauty boutiques here in KL, where Boy de Chanel is finally available, so I can share a little more information and thoughts on the Foundation too! 🙂

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?
