Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Melt in the warm sweet scent of Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille this festive season

December 5, 2020 Paris B 2 Comments

Usually, when the year end comes around, it is a time for a bit of a breather. That little pause as people go on leave, throng the malls to enjoy the Christmas decorations, and spend time with loved ones while shopping up a storm – the sales! Oh, the sales!

This year, it’s all different of course.

This year, everyone feels a little more uncertain, staying at home has taken on new meaning (and stress, for parents especially!) and shopping has mostly gone online.

The sales! Oh the online sales! HAHA 😛

Well, I wouldn’t blame you for wanting something a little more indulgent than normal this year. Goodness knows, you’ve earned it! So, here’s a glimpse of something sweet from Laura Mercier, for the festive season.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: How hot baths helped inspire the Cle de Peau Beaute Masterpiece – the new and improved La Creme

February 7, 2020 Paris B 1 Comment

When Kentaro Kajiya, Group Manager at the Shiseido Global Innovation Center, sat enjoying his hot bath at home, he noticed an interesting phenomenon.

After enjoying a warm bath soak, as so many Japanese do, he noticed that his skin felt smoother. It even felt and looked firmer, albeit temporary. He checked this phenomenon with people he knew, and they told him the same.

This piqued his interest to research further into how our capillaries work in boosting skin elasticity, and how they could be made to work harder and more efficiently.

Incidentally, after he mentioned it during the interview I had with him, on his visit to Malaysia recently, I did realize that a rejuvenating soak in a hot tub not only rejuvenates my soul, but my skin does feel nicer and smoother too! 😀

His discovery eventually led to the 8th generation of the iconic Cle de Peau Beaute La Creme – the jewel in the Cle de Peau Beaute crown.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Getting ready for the Holidays with Laura Mercier

December 5, 2019 Paris B 3 Comments

The year-end festive period is a love-it or hate-it time for many.

On the one hand, who doesn’t love winding down with the year, as people slow down, take time off to spend with loved ones, enjoy the school holidays with their kids, and revel in the Christmas and New Year festivities.

On the other hand, just think of the stress all that brings! LOL! 😀

Well, Laura Mercier has a few Holiday releases to create a little oasis of calm and encourage that little bit of me-time, to help you cope with the stress of the year-end holidays and festivities 🙂

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Natura arrives in Malaysia from the rainforests of the Amazon

October 14, 2019 Paris B 4 Comments

Call me jaded, but not much has interested me in the beauty world in recent times. Everything feels like more of the same, rehashed. Yet, something interested me enough for me to go all the way to Sunway Pyramid (the other side of the globe, for all I care!) to learn about a brand new brand entering our cosmetics market – Natura.

I had been keeping my pulse on Natura for a while, ever since I read that The Body Shop was sold to it. It wasn’t a brand or company I’d come across before, and that intrigued me.

This was more so, when I learnt that Natura hails from Brazil. Its exotic origins had me even more intrigued than ever! So here’s some bits and bites about Natura.

Now we’re back in lockdown, the only beauty item Now we’re back in lockdown, the only beauty item worth using besides skincare is perfume 😅 Happy 100 years of Chanel No. 5! 🥳 One of the most iconic scents in this last century. Anyone out there a fan? 🥰

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

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! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
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?
