Come Holiday Shopping Down Under and a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

November 24, 2013 Paris B 58 Comments

My timing was so “good” that when I got back last week, it was quite late at night and I fell headlong into work the next day and was pretty busy the whole week. So, unpacking has been slow and you know how that’s like right? Slack off for a bit to unpack and suddenly the suitcase sits there for months on end. Reason why you should always unpack the minute you get home. I eventually found some time to and I thought I’d show you what came home with me from Down Under.

shopping in australia

Let me preface this little haul by telling you that many things in Australia are pricey, especially if you’re talking beauty products. I found out that Revlon, for example, is sold at similar prices dollar-dollar with prices locally which means that with the exchange rate, a Revlon Lip Butter could cost you RM65. Top up a little more locally and you might as well walk away with an Estee Lauder lipstick that costs RM80.

You also saw how marked up the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palete was in my previous post, so, when it came to beauty buys, I barely bought any. I looked of course, in the beauty halls of Mecca Maxima and Kit Cosmetics and spent a nice time trawling the aisles of Priceline but I eventually walked away with very few beauty buys. Instead, I spent most of my shopping money on candles, candles and erm… candles and groceries! 😀

Your Say: What skincare are you using day and night? Here is mine!

July 23, 2013 Paris B 104 Comments

Last year, I shared some of the skincare I was using on a daily basis and 2 years ago, I shared my day and night skincare routine. I thoroughly enjoyed how everyone chipped in to share all of your day and night routines too! I thought it would be interesting to revisit it annually and see how far or not we have come and whether my and your routine have been working for you.

skincare routine day and night

Towards the end of 2012, and in early 2013 my skin went crazy. I had a lot of problems with breakouts and for some reason, everything went out of control. I didn’t even change my skincare which really puzzled me. What I did then was to pare back my skincare to the bare minimum – cleanse, tone and moisturise. Slowly, I got things under control and then, I started getting back into a routine.

It might interest you to know that for the most part, I have been using this range of skincare day and night for at least 6 months now in various combinations and I’ve had the best skin that I’ve ever had in all my years *touchwood*! Granted, it’s not flawless nor perfect, but it’s the best I’ve ever had, I can walk out without makeup if I wanted to (imperfections and all) and that makes me very happy.

So here is my present skincare routine and some quick notes on what I might change or switch out as I go along. I can’t say I’ll be using this same routine in another 6 months, but who knows eh? Do share your routine too! Has it changed from a year ago? Is your skin doing better now than it was 6 or 12 months ago?

Finally! The Breakdown of What is in that Epic Cosmetics Travel Kit!

June 6, 2012 Paris B 72 Comments

A while ago, I showed you a birds eye view of the epically large cosmetics kit that I packed ostensibly for travel. Firstly, I’d just like to say that if I were truly travelling for work or even for a holiday, I never pack a kit this massive. My travel cosmetics kits fit in 1 pouch and usually look something like this.

This time however, I was headed home for my brother’s wedding and I knew I had to look good so I could not risk a breakout or reactions to new products, and I also knew that I’d be sharing all sorts of stuff with my sister who had warned me that she wasn’t packing anything so could I just bring extra? Ah yes, sisters 🙂

So I packed full sizes of almost everything and packed exact products of skincare I had been using at the time. The bag turned out to be extremely large and probably weighed about 5kg 😛 I could be exaggerating, I’m not sure. But here’s what went in there.

I’m A Malibu Barbie Girl in a Barbie World with Hot Pink Lips by Face of Australia Lip Quench Lipstick

February 22, 2012 Paris B 42 Comments

Here’s an interesting fact. If you try to look up pictures of Malibu Barbie you will realise that Malibu Barbie actually wears a baby blue swimsuit/playsuit/ whatever they make Barbie wear. Not a slick of pink on her. Not even her lips. Don’t believe me? Fire up Google and see 😉

face of australia malibu barbie lipstick

So I found it very fascinating that Face of Australia named a bright pink lipstick Malibu Barbie. It most certainly is barbie pink and is most certainly one of those bright lip colours that make you go “Er… I’m not sure I can pull it off. Its so PINK!” <- Its this sort of pink!

But Tina (Chasing Elixir) tells me I have to try it because its surprisingly lovely on so after a spell, I did. Was she right? I hate to admit it but yes she was. The Face of Australia Lip Quench in Malibu Barbie looks really quite scary in the tube. Its a hot pink that I thought pulled cool and that is quite scary because these sort of colours can really wash you out and make you look like the walking dead. Add to the fact that I’m not much of a pink lipstick wearer, preferring my roses, berries and reds. But there are times when you want to branch out of your comfort zone, and pink is a pretty girly colour with which to do so.
