Confession: I’m not sure if Antipodes Blessing Anti-Pollution Light Face Serum is a blessing but it isn’t a curse

December 10, 2020 Paris B 4 Comments

I have a confession.

I’m not sure what to make of the Antipodes Blessing Anti-Pollution Light Face Serum.

I’d used it on and off initially, quite unsure what to make of it. Then, I started using it every morning, as directed, still unsure what to make of it.

I’m about halfway through the bottle now, and I’m still rather unsure what to make of it LOL! 😀 But there are some observations I have that might tilt me in favour of a repurchase.

Retinol Tips: 5 Things I always do when using retinol serums

May 14, 2020 Paris B 7 Comments

Retinol has been a bit of a hot topic here at MWS this past week, ever since I shared that tip on how I deal with milia. It’s amused me a little that not many people are aware that it is an ingredient, and not a product per se.

However, I am not surprised, because I cannot assume that just because most of us reading this are crazy about skincare (or have educated ourselves about it), everyone else has.

retinol tips

The thing about using a retinol based serum is that it isn’t something you should pick up off the shelves, and slap onto your face, without reading the directions of use. Very often, retinol based products can be drying. It is a characteristic of this ingredient, and very often, you will experience discomfort, peeling, dryness and sensitivity.

So, I always advise exercising caution when using anything with retinol, or any retinol derivative. There are also 5 things I always, ALWAYS do when using a retinol – and you might want to keep this in mind. It will make for a more comfortable, satisfying use 🙂

The Inkey List Retinol : For the times when the budget is tight but you want something effective

May 11, 2020 Paris B 11 Comments

I’ve used a few products from The Inkey List since they launched, and I must say that it is an affordable brand that impresses me. I have since lost count of the new products launched since, but I might get round to trying them some day.

the inkey list retinol serum

One of the products that I was most keen to try back then was The Inkey List Retinol serum. The packaging was damaged in my first order, but I later reordered it, because I was started to get into retinol serums, and this fascinated me at how affordable it was!

Like all retinol serums, it takes me ages to form an opinion about them, or even to share a review, because retinol takes time to show results. It most certainly isn’t a magic wand, and it can cause more harm than good, if not properly used. Hence, I always exercise caution and I advise everyone to do the same 🙂

So, does The Inkey List Retinol Serum do anything for me?

Suspend reality for a moment and let’s delve into the super luxurious world of Cle de Peau La Creme

March 30, 2020 Paris B 2 Comments

I’ve dithered over writing about the new Cle de Peau La Creme for a while now. First, it was because I had other things to talk about.

I did drop a hint that it was one of my favourite things of February 2020, but not much more than that. I thought I’d have time to tell you about it.

And then, all hell broke lose globally with the creeping tentacles of the virus reaching all over the world, and I struggled with myself to get back into a routine of writing about beauty products. It all seemed so frivolous. But I’ve had many people tell me to anyway, because it helps them take their mind off what’s happening globally.

Yet, how could I realistically tell people about a RM2,500 (US$550) jar of face cream? But I will, because it’s what I do 🙂

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
