These are the very fascinating discussions we have held on My Women Stuff over the years in terms of beauty and life in general. Your input is always valued and appreciated and provides an interesting insight and alternative point of view to the discussions at hand.
Hands up all who recognised what the teal on white ribbon stand for?
I too wasn’t familiar with this colour ribbon. We all know Red is for AIDS Awareness, Pink is for Breast Cancer Awareness, White is for justice… but teal on white?
Its for Cervical Cancer awareness.
Unlike breast cancer awareness which gets the whole month of October dedicated to it, cervical cancer remains pretty much a silent fight. Continue Reading
A while ago, I wrote about 5 beauty must not haves that I could happily live without, following on a tag from Tine at Beautyholics Anonymous. I said I’d break it up into 2 posts so it wasn’t so long. I didn’t forget.
So, here are my 5 Skincare and Beauty Don’ts – Things you should never do skincare or beauty wise.

I haven’t had official word of NARS coming to Malaysia yet, so we are still waiting. The most popular blush colour form NARS has to be Orgasm. It is truly a cult classic. Many people I know love it but I also know of many who don’t like it because they find it too shimmery or too pink.
NARS Orgasm is in fact a shimmery pink-peach shade. I say pink-peach because I think it applies on me looking more pink than peach. The peach tones are just enough to temper it so it doesn’t look too pink going on. The shade is rather medium-light so if you have fair-medium skin, I’d say it’ll show up. However, if you are tanned or have darker skintone, all you might get is shimmer. That said, I have never noticed Orgasm going on highly shimmery. For me, its just nice so I suppose its to do with your own level of comfort.
If you are on a budget or have no access to NARS Orgasm, which brand or blush colour is a NARS Orgasm dupe or lookalike? Here are a few I have compiled from my own collection.
