Let the French boost skin hydration the natural way with the Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

April 23, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

Give me a product with Hyaluronic Acid, and I’d be all over it, raring to have a go. Hydration! Let me at all that hydration! This more so, after I’d had a happy encounter with the first Novexpert product I tried not very long ago.

The second product I’ve tried from French pharmacy brand Novexpert is the Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid.

I have tried many hydration serums that contain high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, and I am always looking out for the next big thing.

Might this one be it? 😀

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Natura arrives in Malaysia from the rainforests of the Amazon

October 14, 2019 Paris B 4 Comments

Call me jaded, but not much has interested me in the beauty world in recent times. Everything feels like more of the same, rehashed. Yet, something interested me enough for me to go all the way to Sunway Pyramid (the other side of the globe, for all I care!) to learn about a brand new brand entering our cosmetics market – Natura.

I had been keeping my pulse on Natura for a while, ever since I read that The Body Shop was sold to it. It wasn’t a brand or company I’d come across before, and that intrigued me.

This was more so, when I learnt that Natura hails from Brazil. Its exotic origins had me even more intrigued than ever! So here’s some bits and bites about Natura.

For an oil cleanser that won’t strip your skin, end your day with the Skin Creamery Oil-Milk Facial Cleanser

July 2, 2018 Paris B Leave a Comment

Occasionally I stumble on a brand where I seem to love everything they put out. I love it better when they are small brands that are off the main grid because it’s always fun to discover something new. One such brand is Skin Creamery. When I tried the Skin Creamery Oil-Milk Facial Cleanser, I therefore expected to love it.

I’d been very impressed by 2 items I’d tried from this South African brand before this – their Everyday Cream and their Facial Hydrating oil. I still use them both and I’m still as impressed by them today as I was before. It’s taken me a while to expand my experience with their products, but this is certainly a case of better late than never!

The reason it’s taken me a while to get round to this, is because I have been a little averse to using oil cleansers. I learnt about double-cleansing through oil cleansers, but I also learnt from experience, that they are incredibly drying to my skin. Over the years, I have come across the odd cleansing oil or oil cleanser (slight difference) that do not dry or dehydrate your skin. They are few but they are available – and happily, I can now add another to that list! 😀

8 Things I’m really enjoying using that I think you will love too – Just in time for ‘ang pow’ spending!

I am going to be trite and say this “I cannot believe that we are halfway through February 2018!” Is it me, or is 2018 flying by a little too quickly for comfort? Slow down! I want to cry. And I guess I will have some time to slow down soon, with the Lunar New Year festivities upon us.

This year, the barking Dog chases the Rooster out of our home, and I will be taking a few days off, as I do at this time of year, to celebrate the festivities and spend time at home with the family. Incidentally, if you want to stay in touch with blog posts, you can sign up here for a weekly email that goes out with a compilation of that week’s blog posts, so you don’t have to miss out on any future posts!

But before I leave you for the festivities, I wanted to quickly share some things I’ve been loving, that I think you might love too! Or at least, some things you can save your ang pow money for 😀 I’ve made sure that they’re (mostly) permanent products because I despise the limited edition push to buy NOW, as much as anyone else.

There are a couple of items that I may elaborate on in future review (holler, if there is one you want to see in greater depth!) but I wanted to make sure I told you about these things, some of which I’ve been using for months now, and thoroughly loving to bits! 😀
