Mask off, bold lip colours on! The Chanel Rouge Allure l’Extrait Refillable Lipstick heralds a return to wearing lip colour

September 12, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

Malaysia has finally joined many other countries in allowing us to remove our masks in public (with exceptions), after 2.5 years of mandatory mask-wearing. I can’t say I’m terribly excited about the news, as I intend to continue masking for the near future, but I understand how that appeals to the sense of normalcy that many people crave.

But the mask-off policy means that we can go back to wearing lipstick!

What better time then, to tell you about the new Chanel Rouge Allure L’Extrait refillable lipsticks.

Chanel calls this the Rouge Allure l’Extrait High Intensity Lip Colour, and I did not appreciate that description until I swatched them.

I was quite blown away! Now, THIS is a warm welcome to the return of lipstick! 😀

Beauty Quickie: 4 beauty products I’m enjoying at the moment

August 18, 2022 Paris B 2 Comments

Some days and some products deserve a whole long-ass post all to themselves, extolling their virtues (or allowing me to rant, as the case may be). Other days, I (like most of us) just want a quick read as to why some products work, or why they don’t.

So, here’s some products I’ve been using over the past few months, that I’ve really enjoyed using, and that I think are worth trying. They’re skincare products that have been around a while, but I don’t like rushing into trying and telling people about new skincare I’ve tried – you never know if it really works in the short term, and it’s only after long-term use, that you truly decide if it’s a keeper or if it’s not worth trying.

But these 4 products are worth giving them a shot, and here’s why! 🙂

Now that all my foundations have expired, I’m relying on and loving the No. 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation

July 18, 2022 Paris B 2 Comments

After 2.5 years of not wearing makeup, and then having to head back into society again (albeit hesitantly), I came to an awful realization. My makeup was only fit for a museum.

All the lovely bottles and powders I had had expired, or were in varying stages of expiry. It was a bit of a rude awakening, I must say.

It isn’t to say of course, that I wasn’t going to use some of the products – I operate within tolerances and I push my luck 😛 – but I saw a foundation in the No. 1 de Chanel range and I thought “I want that!”

So, when the opportunity arose for me to test it out in person, I caved and got a bottle of the No. 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation. It was quite gratifying for me to find out that my shade remained the same! LOL!

It’s also been one of my better beauty buys to date! 😀

Chanel Sublimage Le Creme Yeux Eye Cream: Lush and Luxurious

July 4, 2022 Paris B 6 Comments

I’m not the best at remembering to use eye cream, but I’ve been enjoying the Chanel Sublimage La Creme Yeux Eye Cream in recent times.

Sure, it’s a bit of a splurge, as most items under this line are. It is after all their most luxurious range, and targeted at those who need a little something more for the skin.

Is it earth-shattering in its efficacy?
