Happy Saturday Ladies!

My Dad surprised me by asking me to book them a movie this weekend. After much to-ing and fro-ing, we are going to see Pirates of the Carribbean : On Stranger Tides. Would you believe that this is the first Pirates movie I’m going to watch? Yeah I’m way behind, I know. So while I go and savour the movie, here are some new beauty items you can look out for.

Hada Labo Olive Cleansing Oil

Hada Labo previously had their Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Makeup Remover, which I wasn’t too crazy over, and they now have a proper cleansing oil! Its olive oil based so I’m quite worried that it will break me out like DHC does. I ordered mine online before I knew it was out here, and I just received it about 2 days ago, but there you go! I’ve already seen it at some Guardian pharmacies so take a look there.

Hada labo Cleansing Oil retails at RM49.90

Revlon CustomEyes Eyeshadow Palettes

I never thought very much of Revlon eyeshadows. I always found them lacking a bit in pigment. The new Custom Eyes Eyeshadow palettes however, are a totally different kettle of fish! Lovely smooth textures for the most part, and well pigmented. I most certainly recommend taking a look at them, especially Smokey Sexy and Naturally Glamorous. I’ll have a review or two coming up in due course 🙂

Revlon Custom Eyes Eyeshadow Palettes come in 4 colour palettes and retail at RM49 each

Paris B 7 Comments

I’m really taking my time with this 30 days of lip swatches project LOL! I’m glad I decided not to kill myself with a daily lip as I did before, and just decided to make sure I get 30 days out 😛

Day 4 of 30 : Mentholatum LipIce Water Colour Lip Moisturizer 03 Kissy Pink

Paris B 32 Comments

I like my lovely high end lip goodies, but here’s one I got recently that surprised me for application, texture and price. Those of you on a budget will love this one 🙂 Its the Mentholatum LipIce Water Colour Lip Moisturizer in the Think Pink series.

Not unfamiliar with LipIce, I initially thought that this product was a tinted lipbalm. In fact, I thought it was those what look clear but turn pink on your lips – you know those? Instead I was surprised to find that what the LipIce Water Colour Lip Moisturizer is, is a sheer, moisturizing lipstick.

It comes in 4 shades of pink which Mentholatum describes as healthy looking lips, and Kissy Pink is No. 03. Truth be told, this is probably one of the nicest introduction to coral lipsticks as you can ever get! Check out the swatch below 🙂

Your Say: Do you apply lipbalm everyday?

Paris B 87 Comments

I had a case of dry lip the other day at the office, and while rummaging through my makeup pouch, realized I had no lipbalm on me. I should not have been surprised really. I hardly ever use lipbalm but I used to have a stick kept in there for emergencies.

burts bees lipbalm - do you use lipbalm everyday?

I eventually made do with a Dior Serum de Rouge lipstick (helped remoisten lips – amazing stuff!) and I could not help sharing that observation on the MWS Facebook page.

A reader then asked if I used lipbalm everyday to which my answer was no.
