MWS Christmas Gift Guide & Best of 2009 : Build on a good foundation

December 9, 2009 Paris B 10 Comments

best_face

Here’s the last of my “Best of 2009” series. You can read the others here.

You may not have perfect skin – few of us do and those who do are the lucky few! So, we fake it with concealer and foundation! There aren’t many I discovered in 2009 but those that worked, worked!

I finally found 2 liquid foundation that worked well for me. I never thought I’d ever extol the virtues of liquid foundation but now I will! The 2 I discovered in 2009 and are keeping as staples are the Lancome Maquiliquide UV Infinite and Diorskin Nude natural glow hydrating foundation. Beautiful textures and keeps skin looking beautiful too!

Not quite touched by YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch Highlighter pen

November 30, 2009 Paris B 35 Comments

ysl_touche_eclat

When YSL went on 40% sale at counters in Malaysia, I took the opportunity to pick up the iconic YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch highlighter pen. Its touted as an liquid highlighter with illuminating qualities so it conceals slightly and highlights at one go.

For many, the YSL Touche Eclat highlighter pen is a magic wand that erases imperfections at a touch. For me, I’m wondering what the hype is about.

Yes, its a dinky little tool with brush tip applicator that you can tote around on the go. Good for travel but otherwise nothing too special for me. Also, many fail to mention that its not a twist type clicky pen mechanism. Oh no! YSL, being luxury opts for a push-button clicky system like that of a ball point pen. See that black button at the back of the pen? That’s where you press down.

Now I’d like you to imagine this. You have just slathered on your moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning and then you reach for your YSL Touche Eclat highlighter pen. You click it as you would a ball pen, but that high gloss gold surface slips over and over due to the lotions from your hands. Its frustrating and I dislike it. Also, did I mention the gold body attracts fingerprints better than any fingerprinting tape the CSI use?

How To: Use Shu Uemura Nobara stick foundation as concealer

November 25, 2009 Paris B 11 Comments

shu_tsumori

Ohayo!

I remembered about the Shu Uemura Nobara cream foundation stick when I was in Japan and walking past the Shu Uemura flagship store in Omotesando Hills. They were showcasing the Tsumori Chisato Christmas collection in store but I wasn’t enamoured by anything. I did pick up a Tsumori Chisato designed product which was a free tote bag that came with a Japanese magazine called “In Red”! Kawaii!!! 😀 I loved the fashion in In Red or Japanese mags in general even if I can’t read it.

Shu Uemura had a Nobara cream foundation before this which came in a pan. Many people raved about it because it offers quite full coverage i.e. you should be able to simulate a flawless complexion. The Nobara cream stick foundation is new, practical and more portable than the pan. It’s my first time using a stick cream foundation! 🙂

shu_nobara_stick

The portability would have been put to the test had I taken the Nobara stick foundation back to its homeland of Tokyo but I could not because the colour I have is a shade too dark for me 🙁 I have 764 which seemed to look alright under the lights of the boutique despite my initial doubts, but after I took it home and used it a few times I realised it was too dark for me. A friend asked why I was looking so sallow 🙁 It also oxidised a little. So here’s my advise for when you try the Nobara cream stick foundation:-

Test the Nobara stick foundation on your face and walk around for a few hours to see if the colour changes before deciding on your actual shade.

764 is a yellow based colour. I think I should get one shade lighter with a more neutral beige base – perhaps 774 or 784. I’m so blonde – numbers confuse me 🙁

Connie told me to try it over a pink makeup base like Benefit That Gal (which I don’t have for now) to neutralize the yellow tones so I’ll try that some day.

So what can I use this Nobara cream stick foundation for since its a little too dark for full face foundation? I use it as a concealer! 😀

Spotted : Maybelline Angelfit Double Perfector, L’Oreal True Match Makeup Base and Pond’s Age Miracle

August 27, 2009 Paris B 22 Comments

While rooting around in Watsons and Boots in Bangkok the past 2 days, I came across some unfamiliar products by Maybelline, L’Oreal and Ponds that caught my interest.

Maybelline AngelFit Double Perfector – Concealer & Highlighter

maybelline angelfit double perfector

I was intrigued by this product under the Maybelline AngelFit line. AngelFit appears to be an Asia exclusive line and I’ve thus far been quite impressed by most of the products under this.

The new one is Angelfit Double Perfector, which is a dual-ended tube containing a concealer and highlighter. The Concealer has a sponge tip applicator while the highlighter has a brush applicator. I dithered for a long time whether to buy it but decided not to because it came in only 3 shades and the concealer in the lightest 02 shade was a little too dark and yellow for me. The highlighter is a iridescent pink tone that promises to work decently well. I hope it comes in soon and that I  find a colour match! It was about THB320+ (approx RM32+). Update: News is, its not coming into Malaysia. Not sure why but we’ll see eh?

#mykiehls wraps their popular products in special packaging designed by Janine Rewell for the Holiday season. I love the scent of the lavender soap! It’s so strong! I’d keep it in my clothes drawer or cupboard to scent it though. It smells amazing!!
.
.
Also, Kiehl’s is taking a step towards being a sustainable brand by using fair trade and sustainable ingredients and packaging. Bring back 4 Kiehl’s product packaging to their stores and you’ll get a deluxe sample in return! Perfect for all #kiehls fans! .
. 
What’s your fave Kiehl’s product? I’m a bit out of touch with the brand to be honest. Didn’t realise quite a few new things have been released. In the past, I liked the Midnight Recovery Oil & the Powerful Line Recovery Concentrate serum. Good stuff! What’s yours? 😉
