The Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser – Melting Balm helps you take the day off affordably

December 17, 2018 Paris B 3 Comments

I love it when friends introduce me to their favourite products that I might never think of trying. Better still when said friend is a skincare junkie who knows her stuff, and who shares my preferences for textures. So, when I found the Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser – Melting Balm in my birthday gift pack, I was very intrigued.

Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser - Melting Balm

Innisfree, as most of you are aware, is an affordable range of skincare from Korea under the very big Amore-Pacific umbrella, that also houses popular brands like Laneige and Sulwhasoo.

The primary reason I was gifted this, and why I was so intrigued that I immediately included it into my evening skincare routine is this – it’s a cleansing balm. And boy do I love cleansing balms! 😀

The Guerlain KissKiss Creamy Shaping Lip Colour gets festive in the limited edition Colours of Kisses packaging

December 12, 2018 Paris B 6 Comments

If you’ve been around MWS a while, you’d know about my fondness for Guerlain’s lip products (and obsession with Meteorites!). Their Rouge G lipsticks are a gold standard for bold, intense, creamy and longlasting lip colours (their reds are second to none!). On a slightly less intense note, I’d been enjoying my time with the KissKiss lipsticks too. Beautiful textures and colours. But when I spotted their new limited edition colourful packaging in the Guerlain KissKiss Colours of Kisses range, I flipped!

I’d snagged myself one, and was thoroughly enjoying using it, when another 2 arrived, courtesy of Guerlain. So, naturally I have to now tell you about them 🙂

The Guerlain KissKiss Creamy Shaping Lip Colour usually comes in a glossy black case, in a similar design. I have been quite a fan of it for years, since their launch. I just never quite got round to talking about them, because it’s one of those things. I only have so much space (and time) that things fall by the wayside.

Or maybe it’s because I’ve been keeping it to myself as a little secret 😉

Dial up skin clarity and brightening with the stellar Rohto Obagi C10 Vitamin C Serum

December 10, 2018 Paris B 14 Comments

After I last shared with you about one of my favourite (and affordable) Vitamin C serums from Japan, we quickly saw it appear in our local pharmacies! I take no credit for it (I’m not THAT influential), but it was fortuitous! LOL!

Now, I’m hoping for another miracle to happen with the Obagi C10 Vitamin C Serum.

As you have correctly guessed, this too is another well-rated and well-performing Vitamin C serum for me. I remembered reading about it for so long that when I headed to Japan earlier this year, I only had one item on my shopping list – the Obagi Vitamin C serum.

Happily (or unhappily), this turned out to be another winner in my books! But not for the wallet as you will soon see.

Let the Jo Malone White Moss and Snowdrop cologne ground you amidst all that sparkles this festive season

December 6, 2018 Paris B 8 Comments

Each year, Jo Malone London launches a special edition fragrance for the Christmas season. Last year, it was the Green Almond and Redcurrant cologne. This year, Christmas brings around the Jo Malone White Moss and Snowdrop cologne.

Truth to tell, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

While I love smelling the smell of Christmas around me, I much rather not wear it, thank you. The smell of Christmas to me is everything we have been taught is symbolic of Christmas – the woody resin notes of pine cones, the warm spiciness of mulled wine, the smoky smells of a crackling fire, the crisp winter air, gingerbread cookies!

None of which is present here in hot, muggy, rainy, squelchy Malaysia.

Sigh. LOL! 😀

So I approached Jo Malone White Moss & Snowdrop with a touch of trepidation. Was it going to evoke all these images of a White Christmas that jars terribly with my warm (currently wet) surroundings?
