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

August 17, 2020 Paris B 6 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 :)

What beauty treatments do you miss most? Here’s how to DIY home beauty treatments using your facial oil

An on-going joke that’s arisen from this period that we’re in lockdown is that once it’s lifted, we’d finally see everyone’s natural hair colour, lashes, nails and brows again LOL!

The beauty service industry is a very personal one, and the order to physically distance ourselves from each other has taken its toll, both on the providers and the end-users.

I, for example, am missing my hairdresser like crazy! I’ve been overdue for a haircut, and not having the business open has taken its toll, not only on my hairdresser and his business, but the state and condition of my hair too. I’m going to come out of this with the longest my hair has ever been, for the past 5 years LOL :P

If you are facing some issues with grooming and beauty treatments, I have some tips for you, that might help tide you over till we’re able to hit the salons again. The best part is that it involves you multi-purposing what you may already use – your facial oils :)

Revisiting the Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream and reminding myself why I enjoyed using it so much!

February 17, 2020 Paris B 7 Comments

There are some products that are shouted about from the roof tops. There are others that quietly fly under the radar.

The Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream comes in under this second category.

While better known for their makeup, I have to say that Bobbi Brown skincare is something that is worth looking into as well. After all, you’d agree that makeup can only look good on a good base!

I’m actually on my 2nd jar, and when I rediscovered it recently, I figured I’d better tell you about it too :D

Revisiting the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil after 10 years!

September 13, 2019 Paris B 7 Comments

One of the first skincare items I’d ever tried from Bobbi Brown back in my early days of blogging, was a sample of their Cleansing Oil. I remember back then (10 years ago!), that I was quite happy with it.

It was a time when I was using cleansing oils, so I was quite familiar with comparing and contrasting the different cleansing oils in the market then.

When I recently received a bottle of the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil, I was a little surprised. Why were they sending me this again, when it’s one of the Bobbi Brown skincare stalwarts? Was it a reminder?

Ah, as it turned out, the formula has been tweaked and upgraded. I don’t generally use cleansing oils anymore, preferring cleansing balms instead, but I was curious enough to have another go.
