Don’t waste your money on beauty advent calendars

October 6, 2022 Paris B 12 Comments

don't waste money on beauty advent calendars

It’s October, and that means we’re firmly in the leadup to Christmas and the Holiday beauty releases. To be fair, I have not been as inundated with releases as I have been in the past, mainly due to the fact that I’m less active than I used to be.

In my case, I’m happy about it. Being bombarded with new releases and new Christmas releases day after day, with the not-so-subtle suggestion to get people to buy-buy-buy was off-putting.

It is with a bit of disconcert however, that I notice that the trend of beauty advent calendars isn’t dying out. If anything, it seems to be growing in popularity, with more brands (and even stores!) jumping on the bandwagon.

Well, call me a grinch, but I’d tell you to save your money, and spend it on some proper beauty products and fragrances instead 😛

Heads up! There’ll be a 10% Sales Tax on Low Value Goods below RM500 purchased online and imported into Malaysia

August 4, 2022 Paris B 2 Comments

Here’s an interesting local development that I thought to highlight, since many of us are avid online shoppers, who shop online both locally and from overseas.

I have been shopping online from numerous overseas websites for a long time, as I do what most consumers do – look for the best deals. And we do get a lot of good deals online from international ecommerce stores. I’d done so much of it, I’d shared a comprehensive article about my experience shopping online from international websites, and how we in Malaysia are affected by import tax.

As of now, our tax threshold for personal purchases made online (or as they say, ‘imported’) is RM500. Barring certain categories of items, purchases of RM500 and below aren’t taxable. So, shopping smart is key.

But all that’s changing come 1 January 2023 🙁

Is double-cleansing necessary in your daily skincare routine?

June 21, 2022 Paris B 6 Comments

This is an interesting question for me, because I have been doing it for so many years, that it comes automatically. But recently, I came across an influential voice on social media, and glanced at a book about skincare, both of whom proposed that you don’t need to double-cleanse.

double cleansing necessary

This, they say, is because double-cleansing dries out the skin, and this more so if you have dry skin.

I thought it was an interesting viewpoint, and while I’m no expert, I thought I’d share a quick view on this from the standpoint of someone who recognises that double-cleansing can be drying, but who still does it without much problems.

I attribute this to one thing – using the correct products.

How sustainable is your skincare routine?

April 25, 2022 Paris B 2 Comments

I realise that Earth Day has just come and gone, but I’m not approaching this from an eco/environmental angle. I have my views on that, and it isn’t something that will sit will with many, so that’s a story for another day!

Instead, my approach towards skincare and a skincare routine is this : Am I able to maintain it at this level for the long term? Is it sustainable?

how sustainable is your skincare routine

I have been thinking about this because I get a lot of questions about whether X brand is worth buying, or if Y product is a good one. Very often, this question is propelled by the consideration of the price of a product. Very little consideration is given when it’s a product that’s easy on the wallet 😉

There are lots of skincare products in the market these days, whether available off the shelf, or online. The choices are mind-boggling, and prices vary widely too, even for what appears to be similar products.

For me therefore, what is most important to consider is this – If the product works for you (and if you are in tune enough with your skin, you’d probably know if it will) are you able to afford using it over a long period of time?
