Saturday Surfing around for Bargains

Paris B 10 Comments

Yesterday was Wesak Day here – a holy day for Buddhists, and a holiday for the rest of the country so with many people away for the long weekend, I’m keeping this one short 🙂 Its a good time to take a look at what my beauty blogging sisters have been on about in May 2010.

I know the Great Singapore Sale is now on in Singapore (duh!) and I’ll be there next week to get my share of the bargains (I hope) but here in Malaysia, sales are hotting up too!

Follow Me Oil Control Range of Products and Photo Contest

Paris B 5 Comments

Note: New Posts below this one 🙂

If you’re in the market for something to control your oily skin, and have a small budget to consider, you might have come across the Follow Me range of products in the pharmacies or supermarkets. I grew up with Follow Me but had never used it – I’d always thought it came in from Japan. In fact I’ve learnt that its formulated in Japan but made in Malaysia, hence the reasonable pricing. Fascinating what you learn from the internet 😛

Here’s a brief overview of the products in the Follow Me Oil Control + Whitening range as based on my experience after 1 week of use. This range is suitable for all skin type, but is especially targeted for those with oily skin or those who lead active lifestyles and need oil control skincare

Follow Me Oil Control + Whitening Anti-Shine Cleanser

It’s a face wash! What can I say? 😛 Ok, it lathers up well and cleans my skin well, leaving it feeling a little too squeaky clean for comfort. There is a slight cooling feel and a distant scent of tea tree oil. However since its meant to control oil, it means that it works a little harder in that regard to make sure your skin is properly clean. Not sure about the whitening as I did not use it long enough.

LovingMinerals.com Turns 1 with a Birthday Sale!

Paris B 8 Comments

A year ago when LovingMinerals.com opened their virtual doors to the public, mineral makeup was the exception rather than the norm. But they have since made mineral makeup and some really high quality products accessible to the Malaysian and Singaporean market for which I’m pleased. Where else could I have gotten my Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush and Handy Kabuki from? And not to mention the Lumiere Concealer – I’d had my Lumiere Cosmetics order go missing once so I’d much rather deal with local sellers now.

Anyway, by way of a Thank You, Lovingminerals.com will be having loads of specials starting from today 15 October 2009. Just click the ONE Specials and shop away. Here’s whats on offer:-

There will be different promotions on different days which makes it all really exciting. The only problem will be to hit the RM100 treshold to get free shipping! So I guess that’s where your friends come in 🙂

There is also an ongoing birthday sale on the site for big discounts off full size items. While mineral makeup isn’t quite my cup of char some of those colours are really tempting me.

Enjoy shopping and do share what you got! 🙂

Definite Cosmetic Water in Penang and Thoughts on Estee Lauder Blockbuster Set 2009

Paris B 14 Comments

The weekend came round so quickly this time I almost felt like I was running Back to the Future! We only had a 3 day work week here in Malaysia – awesome right?! 😀 I did all my chores last week and this week I’m going to relax on the couch with the final installment of Harry Potter – I know I’m late but better late than never! 🙂

On the cosmetics front, Definite Cosmetics launches a new skincare product – Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water – and they are doing so in Gurney Plaza Penang from September 25-27, 2009. I love how they have taken something big like this out of Kuala Lumpur, even if it means I can’t check it out just yet! 😀

So if you’re in Penang, drop by Gurney Plaza and check it out and get a backstage makeover while you’re at it.

For those in Kuala Lumpur, it would appear that things are a little quiet on the sale front. I’ve had a request to talk about the Estee Lauder Blockbuster 2009 set. So since I have nothing much else to report, here are my thoughts on the set.
