Exfoliate and reveal your skin radiance with the luxurious Chanel Sublimage Les Grains de Vanille scrub

January 17, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

I had my heart set on not trying the Chanel Sublimage Les Grains de Vanille when it was released about 2 months ago. I am not a big fan of using physical scrubs or exfoliators as I find them a little too harsh for my skin.

But I confess that curiousity got the better of me.

I had to know if I was going to be slathering caviar on my skin, or if I was taking sandpaper to it. Would I love how my skin feels, or am I going to shake my head in despair at a poorly made choice?

I had to know how a jar of lovely black jammy goodness would fare on my skin.

I just had to know! 😛

Red – the colour of passion, intensity and power.

And of celebration.

In 2020, Cle de Peau Beaute celebrates 10 years of their most iconic lip colour – Legend #103 – in a special release of the Cle de Peau Beaute Legend Color Collection.

And believe me when I say that it is a stunner!

Allie Sunscreen is in Malaysia! Here’s my other favourite – the Allie Extra UV Gel SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen

December 16, 2019 Paris B 7 Comments

I am often asked about the sunscreen I use. I am a big proponent of sunscreen as regulars are aware, and I have my staunch favourites. Basically, I don’t mess with the tried and true.

Ever since I fell out of love with the sunscreen I’d helped Shiseido sell (LOL!) I’ve been on the hunt for an alternative. I thought I’d found one in Anessa, but it turned out that I wasn’t as enamoured with it as I was with its more expensive counterpart.

But last year, I had my Hallelujah! moment! I found the sunscreen that I could use daily, that was comfortable and protected my skin, and that didn’t burn a hole in my wallet!

The snag was, it wasn’t available in Malaysia. Until now! 😀

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 🙂
