5 Things I Love Vol. 2: Bits and Bites

July 26, 2019 Paris B 15 Comments

I took a turn for the nostalgic last month, and hearkened back to the early days of blogging, when we’d share little random things in bite-sized pieces, because it was fun to. I enjoyed that, and apparently, so did many of you!

So, I’ve decided to make it a monthly feature – as regularly as I can remember to post LOL!

What’s most interesting for me is how much has changed, or evolved, since my last post last month, so this serves as a nice little check-in for me with how I’m doing 🙂

Guerlain Meteorites Perles de Satin – almost perfection

July 17, 2019 Paris B 13 Comments

Aha! You thought I was done collecting Guerlain Meteorites pearls didn’t you?! Well, so did I! LOL!

So what do we have here?!

After I bought the last Meteorites pearls at the end of 2016, I told myself I was done. That’s it, this Meteorites pearls collector was hanging up her credit cards. No more Meteorites!

There have been a few new releases since, but nothing that caught my eye, so I didn’t feel any loss. And then one day a month or so ago, my eye was caught by a gaudy paisley tin.

And I looked a little closer. It was the Guerlain Meteorites Perles de Satin, released for Summer 2019.

And I felt the old stirrings tugging at my heartstrings once again. Ah, my love for the Meteorites pearls can never be dimmed! 😀

Let me tell you if the Guerlain L’Essential Natural Glow Foundation and L’Essential Retractable Foundation brush are worth it

May 10, 2019 Paris B 12 Comments

Last week, I showed you a tint that got everyone very excited. This week, let’s talk about the more conventional liquid foundation recently launched by Guerlain – the Guerlain L’Essential Natural Glow Foundation 16H wear SPF20.

I remember that many people were quite interested in the Guerlain L’Essential Foundation, when I shared it on Instagram. But perhaps that euphoria has died down, now that there are shinier, newer things out there LOL! 😀

But I’ve finally put the foundation through its paces, and have formed an opinion about it. I also got the Guerlain L’Essential Retractable Foundation Brush, which was launched alongside the foundation, so I’ll be able to share some thoughts on that too!

The bggest question of course is this – are they worth the big bucks?

The Guerlain KissKiss Creamy Shaping Lip Colour gets festive in the limited edition Colours of Kisses packaging

December 12, 2018 Paris B 6 Comments

If you’ve been around MWS a while, you’d know about my fondness for Guerlain’s lip products (and obsession with Meteorites!). Their Rouge G lipsticks are a gold standard for bold, intense, creamy and longlasting lip colours (their reds are second to none!). On a slightly less intense note, I’d been enjoying my time with the KissKiss lipsticks too. Beautiful textures and colours. But when I spotted their new limited edition colourful packaging in the Guerlain KissKiss Colours of Kisses range, I flipped!

I’d snagged myself one, and was thoroughly enjoying using it, when another 2 arrived, courtesy of Guerlain. So, naturally I have to now tell you about them 🙂

The Guerlain KissKiss Creamy Shaping Lip Colour usually comes in a glossy black case, in a similar design. I have been quite a fan of it for years, since their launch. I just never quite got round to talking about them, because it’s one of those things. I only have so much space (and time) that things fall by the wayside.

Or maybe it’s because I’ve been keeping it to myself as a little secret 😉
