Brow pencil

How has your makeup preferences changed over the years? How I do my makeup today

March 15, 2019 Paris B 27 Comments

I started my makeup journey with one philosophy : If it’s not seen, how would people know I’m wearing makeup?

makeup preferences change

Yes, I was not terribly secure in my application nor choice of colours, but I was into sparkles and shimmer, pink blushes and blue eyeshadow, all topped off with a bold lip. I had a lot of leeway in my place of work, and they tolerated it even if I might have pulled off some strange looks back then.

It was about then also that I started paying more attention to makeup, and the different collections that were hitting the stands. This was back in the day when new collections would take about 2-3 months to arrive on our sun-drenched shores. By that time, I’d have read all the reviews from people in the UK and USA about what was good or what to avoid. Helped save me money!

But whenever a new collection popped up with a neutral or brown eyeshadow palette, and muted colours for cheeks and lips, my interest level would drop. Brown? Neutrals? What’s the point of a nude makeup look? I’d scoff.

I cannot tell you when exactly I crossed the line from wearing “bright colourful makeup” to “understated neutral makeup” but I crossed that line quite many years ago when I woke up one day and realised that I was wearing makeup not for anyone, but for myself. The lightbulb went on!

So I’m curious to know if or how your makeup preferences has changed over the years and I’ll show you quickly how I do my looks these days – very quick, very efficient 🙂

Let’s hear it for the Boy de Chanel makeup collection! (and especially for the Eyebrow Pencil!)

February 20, 2019 Paris B 8 Comments

Back last year, when Chanel announced their Boy de Chanel range, I think I got more excited about it than most men LOL! To tell the truth, I wasn’t that big on the whole gender equality part – Chanel makeup packaging is, to me, quite neutral seeing as it’s all black anyway.

But I loved the look of the matte navy blue packaging. So, when the opportunity arose for me to get an item from the range in Seoul, Korea where it was first launched, I opted to pick up the Boy de Chanel Eyebrow Pencil.

The Boy de Chanel Eyebrow Pencil comes in 3 shades (Grey 204, Deep Brown 206 and Black 208) which are on the deeper end of the colour spectrum. I suppose it’s premised on the fact that men have darker brows? Who knows!

But I’ve been playing around with it for a while, and I also recently visited the Chanel beauty boutiques here in KL, where Boy de Chanel is finally available, so I can share a little more information and thoughts on the Foundation too! 🙂

Innisfree Auto Eyebrow, Brow Master and Skinny Brow pencils – Cheap as chips!

September 19, 2018 Paris B 14 Comments

I recently shared my favourite brow pencil that I toted all the way back from Japan. It is one of the latest in a long line of brow pencils I’ve been going through over the years. Prior to that, I practically swore by the Chanel brow pencil and got my family members hooked on it too.

Then, I was told by a friend that Innisfree had a brow pencil similar to the Excel one, so I trotted off to the store to have a look. Well, I didn’t know that Innisfree had so many different types of brow pencils! So, in the interest of experimenting, I took a few home with me.

While I’m not the biggest fan of Korean makeup, I am aware that the Koreans have been setting brow trends for a few years now. So, if anyone should know their brows, they should! I also decided to splurge and grab a few different types, because I couldn’t believe the prices! LOL 😀

I guess you could say I experienced negative sticker shock – I was shocked at how affordable… nay! Cheap! the brow pencils were! Do bear in mind of course, that I last splurged RM160 on one, so trust me, Innisfree is far far below that. But importantly, how much do I like (or hate) these Innisfree brow pencils? 🙂

Chanel releases Boy de Chanel makeup and boy! Am I in love with its aesthetics!

August 22, 2018 Paris B 14 Comments

While I don’t usually talk about press releases of upcoming products (I’m never sure if anyone is really interested – if you are, tell me!), one just dropped into my mailbox that I was so intrigued by, I had to share it, because I’m curious about what you might think of this upcoming makeup release too!

boy de chanel makeupI invite you to feast your eyes on this gloriously aesthetically pleasing range of makeup by Chanel. It is the Boy de Chanel makeup collection, and I am positively smitten by it! I mean, look at that beautiful matte finish, that eye-pleasing midnight blue shade that is so understated, yet so eye-catching.

For once, the boys have it better than the girls, I swear!

Did I say “boys”? 😀
