Yes, you can still wear lipstick under a facial mask!

August 17, 2020 Paris B 5 Comments

Now that wearing a face mask has become the ‘new normal’, I’ve come across many people bemoaning the fact that there is no more point to wearing lipstick, or any lip colour.

For one, it’s covered by your mask, so what’s the point?

Second, lip colours will transfer onto your mask, and it smears and makes a mess.

But you know what? I still wear lip colours, especially lipstick. I feel naked and unfinished without a slick of lip colour, so let me tell you how I manage, and the types of finishes I pick to avoid smearing 🙂

My search for a cordless vacuum finally ended when I found the Karcher VC4i Cordless Vacuum

August 13, 2020 Paris B 1 Comment

I shared about my purchase of the Karcher VC4i Cordless Vacuum on Instagram a month or so ago, and promised a proper review after using it. Here it is, finally! It’s taken me a while, as I wanted to use it properly and thoroughly, so I could reliably tell you what I think of it, and if it’s worth a purchase.

Like many people, when thoughts turned to the purchase of a cordless vacuum cleaner, I was immediately drawn to the Dyson. You must admit that they have marketed themselves well, showcasing a sleek design and a seemingly ‘must-have’ technology.

But like many, I balked. The pricetag was too high for me to justify. So, I kept to my corded handheld vacuum, and told myself I’d wait for a good deal to come by.

When we had our MCO (lockdown), I spent more time than normal at home, and it was then I realised just how dusty it can be, and how much hair my dog sheds. Goodness me! Let me warn you about beagles! 😛

So, when I found myself lugging my corded vacuum cleaner out every other day, my thoughts once again turned to getting a cordless vacuum. I ran a quick poll on Instagram, but it wasn’t much help. The choices were endless, ranging from very affordably priced cordless vacuum cleaners from China that we could get on Shopee or Lazada, to naturally, the Dyson. Everyone who said they’d bought the Dyson told me they didn’t regret it.

While I was ready to spring for the Dyson, I wasn’t sure if I should go for the V10 or newer V11 version. As I dithered, a friend linked me to the Karcher VC4i and said, here’s something else to consider!

So I did, and I dug around and did my research, and eventually, I picked the Karcher VC4i Cordless Vacuum. Here’s why 🙂

The lightweight Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel is very affordable and comfortable on skin

I remember the fuss we all made over the Melano CC Anti-Spot Essence when I first wrote about it. It wasn’t available then, but became available locally not long after. As much as I’d like to take credit for that, I’m sure it wasn’t me who did it haha!

Since arriving on our shores, there have been more products added to the Melano CC brand, and I was offered the opportunity to try the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel.

Of course, I said yes 😛 I love anything with Vitamin C remember?

As a fan of Vitamin C serums, it was natural that I try the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Serum

I once declared that I was done with Sunday Riley. Well, as they say, those were famous last words.

While I am usually quite firm on my principles when it comes to these things, I found my resolve wavering some time last year.

There was a deal for a set of Sunday Riley products in a trial size on Cult Beauty or SpaceNK, and I’d been wanting to try the CEO range for a while. So, after dithering for a while, wrestling with my conscience, I decided to spring for it 😛 Principles, what’s that? 😛

The first item I tested was the Sunday Riley CEO Rapid Flash Brightening Serum. The reason I was keen on this one is because despite the name, it’s a Vitamin C serum! And you know how I feel about Vitamin C serums – I love them 😛
