You can’t drink this: Definite Cosmetics Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water

November 25, 2009 Paris B 5 Comments

If you are following my Twitter statuses, I overheard something this morning while I was kicking my heels waiting around, that amused me so much I had to Tweet it:-

Overheard: women are like ginger – older they get the spicier lol! Thots? about 6 hours ago

Teehee… not only content with pondering about this, I pondered too on the words “Cosmetic Water” in the Definite Cosmetics Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water. I was a little puzzled when I first tried it. It did not feel like water. The lotion is light and milky looking and viscous when poured out. It wasn’t quite cosmetics too. But what it is is a moisturizing lotion that soothes the skin and helps control inflammation and sebum.

definite_cosmetic_water

The new Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water from Definite Cosmetics is this lotion that I’m referring to. I used this for about a month previously as a toner or after toner and I did like the effect it had on my skin. It was light, absorbed quickly without feeling sticky and helped keep my skin moist.

Definite Cosmetics says that this water helps diminish pore size and control sebum and oiliness too. I can’t quite attest to the pore size reduction because I’m already using a whole host of other products targeted at that. I do know that my foundation slides on more easily and smoother, and I found my T-zone less oily during the day. I did not shine like a beacon in the light so that is a good thing 😛

The reason I stopped using this is because I took it with me on a work trip to Penang and left in the hotel! Ah clever me – some random housekeeper in the hotel is now walking around with nice smooth skin thanks to my carelessness 😛

Definite Cosmetic Water in Penang and Thoughts on Estee Lauder Blockbuster Set 2009

September 26, 2009 Paris B 14 Comments

The weekend came round so quickly this time I almost felt like I was running Back to the Future! We only had a 3 day work week here in Malaysia – awesome right?! 😀 I did all my chores last week and this week I’m going to relax on the couch with the final installment of Harry Potter – I know I’m late but better late than never! 🙂

On the cosmetics front, Definite Cosmetics launches a new skincare product – Hydra Swiss Spa Cosmetic Water – and they are doing so in Gurney Plaza Penang from September 25-27, 2009. I love how they have taken something big like this out of Kuala Lumpur, even if it means I can’t check it out just yet! 😀

definite

So if you’re in Penang, drop by Gurney Plaza and check it out and get a backstage makeover while you’re at it.

For those in Kuala Lumpur, it would appear that things are a little quiet on the sale front. I’ve had a request to talk about the Estee Lauder Blockbuster 2009 set. So since I have nothing much else to report, here are my thoughts on the set.

Banish the Panda with Undereye Concealers – Whats your fave?

July 21, 2009 Paris B 66 Comments

I am in dire need of undereye concealing this morning. I was at the Manchester United vs Malaysia re-match last night and got home really late! Anyone who had seen me would have found it strange – I don’t watch football as a rule and I’m a fan of neither team (so don’t come after me Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal fans!)! Still it was great fun sitting in a sea of red and standing out conspicuously in white! Haha… I’m neutral 😀

Reader Vivian also left a comment on a previous post about flawless makeup on the very topic of undereye concealers:-

Hi ParisB, nice painting

I’m still searching for a concealer which work for me, I have quite severe dark eye circle/eye bag. Can you recommend or tell which is the best concealer so far with full coverage?

Thanks parisb.

Undereye Concealer is something I’ve learnt that I can’t live without. I don’t have chronic dark circles under my eyes but I have a bad habit of reading till late so I wake up with shadows under my eyes. Undereye concealer makes me look more awake – and perhaps inspires confidence in others too if you have to meet people at work! Haha…

I presently have 4 under eye concealers in rotation and I think they are all pretty decent stuff so it was a good idea to showcase them all together. They are listed in order of coverage.

Lancome Effacernes Long Lasting Softening Concealer SPF12

Lancome effacernes concealer

A recent discovery and a new love. I picked it up during the last L’oreal warehouse sale for RM60 which I thought was pretty pricey at the time. It usually retails for RM121 for 15ml. The tube is short and squat and you only need very little.

I use Beige Pastel the lightest shade which has very slight pink tones. Its a little thick in texture so what I do is squeeze out a tiny drop on the back of my hand and warm it up with my fingers, then pat it on the under eye area. I find that it covers up my shadows nicely and evenly, does not sink into any lines and once dusted with a touch of loose powder lasts me the whole day and then some! It dries to a slightly matte powdery finish which I like. If you can find a color match in this line, its worth taking a look. 15ml will last me… well… forever! LOL… I use this for days when I have visible dark circles because it works to cover it up nicely leaving me looking pretty much flawless! This is already a staple in my makeup kit. Needless to say, this one was the first thing I reached for this morning!

Day 21 : Definite Makeup Classic Lipstick – Angel Smile

June 21, 2009 Paris B 7 Comments

Day 21 of the 30 lipsticks in 30 days Project moves on with Definite Makeup Classic lipstick in Angel Smile.

Definite Makeup Star Kiss Classic Lipstick – Angel Smile

Definite Makeup Angel Smile

Part of the Classic line of Definite Makeup cosmetics, Angel Smile is a warm neutral slightly coral shade in the stick. The case is a cool gold metal that feels a little thin but is sturdy.

On the lips, Angel Smile is a neutral nude shade. The nice thing about it is that it does not blot out my lips so I look like I have no lips. I have quite nicely pigmented lips naturally, so its always hard to find a nude lip colour that works.
