Save and Splurge: The Bright Blue Eyeshadow Palette Edition
by Paris B on February 10, 2012 · 12 comments
I love blue eyeshadow even if its the one colour most people fear. The trick is in wearing it so you don’t look like someone punched you in the eye, or that you just stepped out from the 80′s when blue eyeshadow ruled. I like wearing just a touch of blue on the lid or close to the lash line and then use a grey or black to blend it out.
I recently came across 2 blue eyeshadow palettes I just had to share in a Save and Splurge edition 
Do you see how I might have thought so? :D
Both palettes from 2 different ends of the price spectrum contain interesting blue shadows and good crease and highlight shades. Lets see how they stack up, briefly.

by Paris B on February 9, 2012 · 29 comments
Hellooo Malaysia!
If the beauty sample box phenomenon had a voice, that is probably what it might say I don’t believe that we, here in Malaysia have yet had access to beauty sample box programs (do correct me if I’m wrong – clearly I’m not always up to date on latest trends ). We’ve sat here at our desks and stewed as we watched our friends across the causeway in Singapore revel in their myriad of beauty box programs, notably Bella Box, Glamabox and a new addition, Vanity Trove.
Well ladies, Vanity Trove has taken the plunge to extend its reach all the way to us, right here in Malaysia! So we in Malaysia now have access to a monthly beauty box subscription service – a phenomenon that’s taken the beauty world by storm. I know you’re wondering if its worth all the hype?

Makeup Tips: Natural Makeup in 5 Minutes with David Ooi Clinique Makeup Artist
by Paris B on February 7, 2012 · 39 comments
The thing about learning to put on makeup is the fear you may be doing it wrong. Colours can enhance and make things interesting but colours take time to perfect and sometimes, you don’t have time. All you have is 10 minutes to get your face on and out the door. Or maybe you just don’t want to doll yourself up for the weekend or a casual outing, yet want to look polished.
Natural looking makeup, ladies, is what we’re looking for and here are some tips I gleaned from a short session with Clinique’s David Ooi who worked his magic on local celeb, Xandria Ooi. He promises you can do this in 5 minutes and have a natural “barely there” makeup look that will leave you looking yourself, but probably better I’ve tried it myself, and I promise you the tips work. The time taken will vary of course but you won’t cross the 10 minute barrier which is all sorts of wonderful!
There are just 4 things you need, and 4 areas to concentrate on for that barely made up look. Ready? Here we go!
