Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Pamper your skin with more ginseng with additions to Sulwhasoo signature ginseng range

August 24, 2018 Paris B 14 Comments

Truth to tell, I was going to show you a product I’m really enjoying right now. I had taken my photos and they were fancy ass! But I’ve only just gone and lost my SD-card with those photos and all my recent holiday photos in it! It’s only the latest in a series of misfortunes to have befallen me in recent times, so at this stage, I’m just sort of numb and immune to all this #prayforPB

Instead, I’ll share a quick short about some products from Sulwhasoo I’ve come across recently, that have intrigued me.

Sitting at the pinnacle of this premium brand is the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Renewing Ginseng line. The most famous product is their Sulwhasoo Concentrated Renewing Ginseng Cream which I’ve used and enjoy using (but which I’ve neglected to tell you about! I’ll remedy that soon) This year, Sulwhasoo has expanded this line with a few products, one of which I am quite excited about! See if you can guess which 😀

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Luxury Hungarian skincare Omorovicza is now available in Malaysia

July 12, 2018 Paris B 2 Comments

Back with another beauty snack, and this time, it’s to tell you that Omorovicza skincare is now available here in Malaysia stores. Omorovicza (pronounced Omo-ro-veet-sa) is a luxury skincare brand from Budapest, Hungary, and their story lies around the use and incorporation of thermal water into their products.

Omorovicza utilizes the healing properties of Hungary’s thermal waters in all their products. These thermal water baths had long been popular for people to soak in, to help heal skin problems, and also to soothe aching muscles. The curative properties of thermal waters can never be under estimated!

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Stick your nose into a floral bouquet of Mon Guerlain Florale perfume

June 15, 2018 Paris B 21 Comments

It’s a public holiday here, so here’s a bite-sized beauty hors d’oeuvres for you to snack on! I received a little while ago, the new Guerlain Mon Guerlain Florale perfume. Perfumes are so hard to talk about in depth, for someone who isn’t that clever with her nose, so a bite-sized post fits the bill perfectly!

Guerlain launched their Angelia Jolie inspired and fronted Mon Guerlain perfume last year, but I haven’t smelled it. Mon Guerlain Florale is the lighter, more floral version of the original. What I’d say is this – if you like floral perfumes, then you may enjoy this one. I personally do not, so this isn’t one I’d pick for myself.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: The Body Shop Body Yogurt is a moisturising treat for any time of the day

April 26, 2018 Paris B 4 Comments

Back with a new installment of the MWS Beauty hors d’oeuvres! These will be short and snappy updates (I try!) of new and upcoming releases, when they’re available, how much they’ll cost or interesting events. It won’t be very detailed, as my usual reviews are, but it will, I hope, serve its function as a quick update of interesting beauty bits for those of you who might be interested in new things.

I’ll update them as and when I can, and you can find them in the side-bar of the blog. I won’t be putting them in the main body, so it’s not too cluttered. I hope you find them enjoyable or helpful!

A few days ago, The Body Shop launched the brand new Body Yogurt. I was very intrigued. The Body Shop was, I believe, the first, or one of the first few companies to release a product called “body butter”. Today, that is synonymous with a thick body cream for dry skin.

Now, there is Body Yogurt!
