New! Crabtree & Evelyn Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage collection gives you a zesty kickstart

March 29, 2013 Paris B 24 Comments

crabtree & evelyn tarocco orange eycalyptus sage collection

Have you ever eaten a blood orange? The first time I did, I did not know what it was. The orange pulp quite literally looks like a bloody pulpy mess. But it is SO. GOOD.

Well I just learnt recently that what I know as the “blood orange” is also known as “Tarocco Orange” and this forms the core of a brand new bath and body range from Crabtree & Evelyn. Launched just about a month ago, the Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage collection (to give it its full name) gives the Crabtree & Evelyn brand a new zest for life. Quite literally.

This is only the second range with citrus notes from the brand, if I recall correctly. The first was Citron but I didn’t take to that one because it smelt rather like lemon scented dishwashing liquid on my hands. This Tarocco Orange one I can attest, does not smell like you just took a shower in orange cordial. Its not that sweet, yet it retains that zesty, citrus note that wakes you up in the morning and revitalizes your flagging spirits in the evening.

Have you taken a sniff at it yet? Its quite a large, comprehensive collection with a focus on Crabtree & Evelyn’s strengths, their bath and body collection.

(Belated) Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 20 : Christmas Biscuits and Goodies from Crabtree & Evelyn

December 2, 2012 Paris B 32 Comments

Righty ho! This one was supposed to have gone up on a Saturday, naturally but for this reason and that, it didn’t so lets just pretend its a Saturday today (which gives us one extra day of the weekend yay! We wish huh? 😉 ) I visited the Crabtree & Evelyn members preview sale last week, and saw a very interesting flavour of biscuits – Christmas Pudding biscuits.

Santa will really appreciate these cookies under the tree, thank you!

What? I happen to be one of those who enjoys eating Christmas pud so I was very keen to know how these tasted. I went back a couple of days later to pick it up after curiosity got the better of me, and I also got a bunch of other Christmas goodies I’ll show you.

Aside from the now-familiar Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams and bath and body products, I have to tell you that Crabtree & Evelyn makes some really nice biscuits, jams and teas. I am not a biscuit eater at the best of times, so you can imagine that these must be pretty good to get me chomping at them 😉 Have you ever indulged in any C&E biscuits and jams? They are so good!

Insta-Updates: Empties for May and June!

July 5, 2012 Paris B 33 Comments

I started doing this in April so I figured, why not continue a good thing. Finishing up anything is always a milestone in my book, and its also a good way to slip in a quickie review in case I’ve missed out on something along the way 🙂

I realised it takes me about 2 months to be able to document anything so I’ll keep this up bi-monthly as long as I can (or as long as I’m interested LOL!) Hopalong for the breakdown for May and June empties

New: Maybelline Hypersharp eyeliner, Crabtree & Evelyn x Hello Kitty, Neutrogena Sunscreen, L’Oreal Revitalift White SPF18 Day Cream, Vichy Normaderm Nuit cream, Canmake Cheek & Cheek Blush

June 18, 2011 Paris B 14 Comments

Saturday again Ladies!

Here are a couple of some new beauty bits spotted out and about, with some quick thoughts on those I have tried (or even those I haven’t because… why! I’m versatile that way! 😛 ) If you have tried any one of the products listed and want to contribute your 2 cents, please feel free to do so in the comments 😀

Maybelline Hypersharp Eyeliner

New to the Maybelline stables is the liquid eyeliner pen – Hypersharp eyeliner. Offering a very fine flexible nib and waterproof formula, this eyeliner pen is supposed to make it super easy to line one’s eyes. I haven’t reviewed it, but my favourite liquid liner pen is the Smashbox Liquid Eyeliner Pen. Very awesome for drawing a nice dark line that does not budge all day. I’m keen to see how this fares by comparison. You’ll know once I do!

Maybelline Hypersharp Eyeliner pen retails at RM23.90 at all Maybelline counters

Crabtree & Evelyn x Hello Kitty

I’m no fan of Hello Kitty but if you are, Crabtree & Evelyn have teamed up with Sanrio’s Hello Kitty for a range of exclusive Hello Kitty x Crabtree & Evelyn bags available as gifts with purchase between 15 June – 17 July 2011. The minimum purchase of RM250 will get you a Hello Kitty Cosmetic bag. To get the Rosewater x Hello Kitty bag (pictured right) minimum spend is RM450 and to get the large Iris x Hello Kitty bags (pictured left) minimum spend is RM1,000. Ouchies! Strictly for fans only I guess.
