Lipbalm

Your Say: Do you use tinted lip balm? Here are 5 I’m using right now

July 19, 2017 Paris B 39 Comments

I have a theory about using lip balm, that centers on it causing over-dependancy. But don’t take my word for it. It’s just my personal theory LOL In cool, dry weather, I welcome lip balm to prevent chapped lips. But not otherwise.

That said, I’ve found myself reaching for certain lip products in my stash in recent times. I blame the weather. It’s been hot and cloudy by turns (which is playing merry hell with my health!) and I just don’t really feel like putting on lipstick. So, I go for something light in colour, and balmy in texture. Just to give my lips that little bit of shine and a hint of colour.

For this purpose, tinted lip balm serves its purpose. It’s generally lighter in colour than most balm-lipstick hybrids, and gives lips a bit of shine. Here are 5 I’ve been using lately – what are your faves?

I really enjoyed the Burt’s Bees Lipstick but I’m afraid it is my Sunset Cruise for I can’t fully recommend it

June 23, 2017 Paris B 12 Comments

A while ago, when I was down in Singapore and browsing the Sephora sale, I came upon the Burt’s Bees display. I have tried the odd bit and bob from the brand in terms of skincare, but if I’m to be honest, it never quite stood out for me. Asked to describe it, I’d say it’s “Meh!” at best. Yes, “meh” is a description LOL!

But at the back of my head, I remembered reading somewhere about the newly launched Burt’s Bees Lipsticks and how nice they were. So I got curious, and eventually picked one up for the sake of experimentation.

The Burt’s Bees lipstick comes in a long rectangle tube, with the colour band denoting the colour of the lipstick. After a few moment swatching at the counter, I decided to stay away from my usual bright colours, and go instead, for a warm everyday shade. I eventually settled for Sunset Cruise.

The colour, when swatched on the back of my hand, as you’ll see below, fit what I was looking for. A light coral, a colour I could wear daily and one that was not too obtrusive. Little did I realise that while the colour disappointed me a little, I really enjoyed using this. With one big caveat.

I didn’t think a fragrance company would do skincare but the Jo Malone Vitamin E Gel surprised me

May 1, 2017 Paris B 8 Comments

When I say Jo Malone, I dare bet that the first thing that comes to your mind is minimalistic tall square bottles of lovely fragrances, with an ivory label down the front. That’s the first thing to come to my mind, at any rate. I think pretty, light scents, wafting through the air.

I dare bet that skincare would not cross your mind. It never crossed mine!

So about a year ago (goodness, has it been that long?!) when this little jar of Jo Malone Vitamin E Gel landed on my desk, I did a double-take. Oh hello? What is this scorcery?

As it turned out, from browsing the Jo Malone store, I found out that they do do a small, select collection of Vitamin E facial skincare products. Not something that really jumps out at the consumer, nor is it something that you’d really be looking at, if I’m to be honest – their strength is in their fragrance range – but it is there. And if I might be so bold as to say so, this Vitamin E Gel is quite something.

For natural glowing makeup don’t miss the limited edition Clarins Skin Illusion Blush and Daily Energizing Lovely Lip Balm

April 28, 2017 Paris B 10 Comments

I’m a little jaded with new makeup launches, but there’s one I’m quite looking forward to, and that’s the return of Clarins makeup to Malaysia. They may not be the most exciting makeup brand, but they make good makeup, sometimes with pretty powders, and that to me, is better than a bunch of mediocre and overhyped products being churned out every 2 weeks.

While we have a ways to go yet (I think it’s expected on our shores in July or September – I can’t recall which. But we’ll see it eventually) Clarins has dropped 2 limited edition makeup products that you can check out right now. It’s being released for Mother’s Day that’s coming up very soon so if you’re thinking of getting something for Mom (or for yourself – really, who’s counting?!) you can consider these.

They are the Clarins Skin Illusion Blush and the Clarins Daily Energizer Lovely Lip Balm, both of which are limited edition and available while stocks last at counters and on the website, for those of you who prefer shopping online (like me!) 🙂

Their release in line with Mother’s Day is apt, considering the love and kisses design, and it is also quite user-friendly for those who struggle with wearing makeup. Let me run them both down for you and you’d be glad to know that they both slip in comfortably under RM100! 🙂
