When searching for the Best Concealer Brush you really should think outside the box

July 18, 2018 Paris B 20 Comments

A while ago, I shared with you a tip on the best way to apply concealer for a lovely diffused and natural finish. I don’t know if anyone is still practising it, but I still am, and it still amazes me to this day, how effortless it is and looks.

The next question that naturally arose was what is the best concealer brush to use?

I’ve been meddling around for a while since, trying to figure out which makeup brush I favoured for applying concealer, and I think I have finally found the best ones.

Do note that I will share with you the best SHAPES you should look out for, because there are many different brands of brushes out there, and you can use this guideline to find one within your budget. You may have realised by now, that my tastes run into champagne territory, not iced tea 😛Continue Reading

Now that Tom Ford beauty is finally here in Malaysia, I share some thoughts on what I own

June 6, 2018 Paris B 18 Comments

Over the weekend, I shared a bit of beauty news over on Instagram. Tom Ford Beauty is in Malaysia! Finally! I hear some of you cry, and truthfully, that was my first reaction too the first day I heard the news about a month ago. I was sworn to secrecy so I was good and waited till the first boutique opened in KLCC a few days ago, before I reported it LOL!

I wasn’t expecting people to get excited about it haha! I guess I underestimated Malaysian beauty afficionados (and their wallets!)! I also got some queries about the products, what I thought, what I might pick etc, so as Sylvia suggested, I decided to do a mini round-up based on the few Tom Ford pieces I own.

I will explain why my Tom Ford Beauty collection is small too. Well, it isn’t tiny, but it is very small by most makeup collector and blogger standards 🙂 I’ll expect you to share your faves as well, so I know what else to add! 😉

The Chanel Les Beiges 2018 collection expands and I think that’s great!

In what has quickly become a favourite capsule makeup collection release of mine, the Chanel Les Beiges 2018 grabbed my fancy quite quickly. I previewed the items in the inaugural Beauty hors d’oeuvres segment, and I’ve finally had a go at some of the key releases.

As a range, the Les Beiges collection focuses on light makeup, laying emphasis on beautiful, healthy glowing skin, barely there makeup and a very natural vibe. It is no surprise therefore, that I fell for it. That is the sort of makeup I wear, and the sort of makeup I gravitate towards.

Those who prefer stronger, bolder colours may find the collection insipid. But this year, the Les Beiges takes on more colour, and that for me, is both a good and bad thing. Good, because it may appeal to a wider cross-section of the public. Bad, because it isn’t as fool-proof as it used to be.

I have a few key pieces of the collection, and will walk you through them as quickly as I can. You know how long-winded I can be 😛

After last week’s marathon blog content, I think you’re about as wiped as I am LOL! I haven’t blogged daily for a couple of years now, and I’d forgotten how much it really takes out of a person. I take my hats off to all the bloggers who are still churning out daily content, because guys, you deserve all the accolades you get. I can’t go there again. It’s too draining – physically and mentally.

With this in mind, I thought it would be nice to kick back with some little beauty hors d’oeuvres, or bite-sized appetizers in the beauty world. These are little snack-bites of some upcoming new releases that you can keep an eye out for, if it catches your fancy.

There are one or two that I will go into greater detail at a later date. But for now, grab an iced lemonade, kick back in your most comfortable chair, and enjoy these little beauty morsels 🙂
