MWS Open Cafe Vol. 7 : Our first in 2012! Let’s Chat!

Hmm… quite a grand cafe this is…

Happy Monday morning, Ladies (and any gents lurking)! missed having this open no-holds barred chit chat sessions and have been meaning to have one for the longest time! I can’t believe that I last held one nearly 6 months ago. Yeah, MWS Cafe has been closed for a while, but we’re open and back in business again today! Renovations mean we now have a chandelier! My, aren’t we posh 😛

I’m working from home today (yay!) and what better way to jazz up a Monday morning than to have a nosey peek into your lives 😉 For the new and uninitiated, MWS Open Cafe is an open post where you can talk about anything in the comments, ask a question (beauty related or not, its up to you!), help answer a question, chat amongst yourselves and basically loosen up. It wouldn’t be possible to actually meet every single one of you for coffee and biscuits so we have to do this virtually for now.

I keep the comments box open for about 24 hours where I’ll answer any questions you may have, or even lend a listening ear if you have something you want to rant about (nothing too flammable so discuss within reason… but I guess you are all adult enough to know that 😉 )

So, onto the comments! 😀

My Women Stuff Readers’ Choice Awards Party 2011 : It was Legen…wait for it… dary!

Paris B 44 Comments

Its a public holiday here in Malaysia and I’m feeling really under the weather – running a fever, sore throat and everything in between after my mad 30 hours with no sleep stint a few days ago. I’ll tell you about it some other time. Today, I’m keeping things light and easy, and doing a quick recap of the MWS Readers’ Choice Awards Party 2011 and round it off with some posts from you who were there! 😀

Its been over a week since the MWS Readers’ Choice Awards party 2011 which I can safely say has been the highlight of my blogging “career” to date! 😀 It was such a wonderful chance for me to meet up with lots of my friends outside of blogging, and at the same time, my blogging friends, fellow bloggers and readers too.  It was perfect to be able to finally put faces to names and there was quite a nice mix from each category 😀 Even more interesting for me, is meeting up silent readers. Ladies, speak up! 😉 You were all darling during the party, so don’t let it stop now.

I’ll let you have a gawk at some of the photos that were taken at the event, and I also have some blog recaps from attendees below, so here we go! 😀

Lipstick Bandit on the loose! Raise a (NARS) Manhunt!

Paris B 69 Comments

Ladies,

I’m not one to advocate joining gangs – makes me want to don a baseball cap back to front and wear massive bling. But I have recently been invited to join one and like many gangs, its hard to say no especially when they are persistent 😉 They call themselves the Lipstick Bandits but the only thing this gang does is terrorize your wallet by making you WANT more and more lipsticks. Especially the red ones. The redder the better. I think I’ve found my niche 🙂

At the pestering urging of Rae, I was unwittingly happily co-opted into this lipstick loving gang. And like all not-so-secret societies, I needed to be initiated. Here is my initiation.

Me in a bandit-esque mask, rocking a red lipstick 🙂

A month ago, I’d have laughed and said “Pish! Me, do something creative with makeup? You gotta be kidding! I don’t have a creative bone in my body!” That’s what I told Rae the first time she asked. But then I celebrated a birthday recently and with age, as they say, you lose your wisdom 😛 Suddenly you think “There’s nothing I can’t do if I just put my mind to it!” And so when Rae sneakily (banditly?) asked again, I said yes. I did this, on the eve of turning a year older but looking back, not very much wiser 🙂
