Trying the Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster Serum reminded me of the perils of being a beauty blogger

September 10, 2019 Paris B 6 Comments

Some time last year, Dior released a range of serums that you could customize to your skin needs. It was reminiscent of the Bobbi Brown Remedies range, and was a luxury brand’s answer to the plethora of more affordable brands catering to a similar need for customization.

I recently had the opportunity to try one of the more interesting ones (to me), when I found a bottle of the Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster Age-Defying Illuminating Serum in an event goodie bag.

I like products that promise a glow and radiance, and when I saw that it contained Vitamin C, I was very intrigued. It was opportune that I had just finished the Vitamin C serum I was using, so I decided to put this to the test.

About 2.5 weeks in, I was reminded of the perils I face as a blogger, trying new skincare LOL!

Hurrah! The Dior Addict Stellar Shine lipstick heralds a return of an old favourite

May 31, 2019 Paris B 10 Comments

Do you remember the old Dior Addict lipsticks? I adored them. Adored! I had nothing bad to say about them, and would wax lyrical at how wonderful they were, at every opportunity. Everyone I knew loved them!

Then, they were reformulated, and I went from euphoria to the other extreme – absolute disappointment. I hated the then-new Dior Addict lipsticks, and I wasn’t quite afraid to say so. Happily, many people agreed, expressing their disappointment with the new formula that did not live up to the exacting standards of the original Dior Addict lipstick formula.

So, when I was faced with the latest reformulation of the Dior Addict lipstick range, I approached it with a little trepidation.

Will the Dior Addict Stellar Shine lipstick bring me back into the Dior fold? Might it make me fall in love all over again with their lipsticks? It was time to find out! :)

From the backstage frenzy of a runway show comes the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation

September 17, 2018 Paris B 19 Comments

I told you before this that you would be seeing a whole bunch of foundations pop up on my blog, and you will! There’s been a spate of new foundation releases in recent times, and if there’s one makeup product that is sure to grab my attention, it’s a new foundation. Just like this Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation.

My initial impression upon seeing the new packaging, was “Meh!” I felt that it was not representative of a luxury brand like Dior. I hold to that view. The light, plastic squeeze bottles of the Face & Body Foundation and clear acrylic packaging of the other products in the Dior Backstage range of makeup is underwhelming. It almost looks and feels like toy makeup.

But the concept behind the Dior Backstage range is interesting. Basically, Dior made this range to represent what goes on backstage at Dior runway shows. Plastic squeeze bottles, because backstage makeup artists need to be quick, and plastic is light to pack and less prone to accidents. The eye, face and lip palettes come in a variety of shades and textures, to allow for easy blending and quick changes of looks backstage. As a concept, it makes sense.

But my interest was purely fixated on the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation. How it is different from their other foundations?

Your Say: What is your favourite tinted lip balm for soft lips and barely there lip colour?

July 9, 2018 Paris B 16 Comments

Every year when Summer rolls around, thoughts turn to light makeup. For a few months in a year, most of the world knows what it feels like to live in Malaysia – hot, humid, and sweaty. Not a very conducive environment to wear heavy makeup! LOL!

It’s no wonder then that thoughts also turn to light, tinted lips in place of opaque, bold lip colours.

With this in mind, a reader asked me on Instagram, how I’d compare some of my favourite tinted lip balms, in particular, with the introduction of the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Lip Balm earlier this year.

I thought this was an interesting question. I was also curious to know if you have any favourite tinted lip balms for that barely there, transparent tint of colour on lips, on days when you’re just not arsed to wear lipstick. Do share!
