Eye Spy With My Little Eye

Hot Hot Heat/Humidity Fighter: The Original Moroccanoil

Blast HK summers! My usually obedient hair tangles into a knotted mess with splits and breaks and flyaways, oh and sun damage.  Lucky for me, a caring girlfriend brought goodies from abroad and lo and behold, she gifted me a fraction of her precious Moroccanoil, thick golden liquid that looks intimidating to use, but a quick slather and you'd be in awe by the absorption rate, my thirsty hair slurps up this surprisingly light weight formula, leaving my hair shine like the sun, with none of that greasiness. It's graced the locks of many a celeb. (Angelina Joile, Selma Hayek, Charlize Theron, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Ashlee Simpson and Pink just to name a few) Now, where can I find me a bottle in Hong Kong?

The whitened models

Debuting March 1 at all Cinique counters

 

Guinea Pig: First Dabs of Clinique's Derma White Clinical Brightening Essence

Another serum advertising amazing results? Bah, Boring and common. Yet a vial, hand-delivered in a silver packet with a comment card and a promise of supply replenishment, publicly unavailable and a follow-up phone call pitching spectacular results? That's called marketing.  See their launch party here !

Those dream weavers at Clinque sure knows how to get Eyespy excited about being "the first". So I've been spreading 2 pumps of this Brightening Essence, twice a day for about a week now. Results?


 Absolutely Phenomenal!
Day 1, 1st application - Whatever, just another serum. Bah. Light weight, absorbs quick.Doubting the thickness. Day 2, 3rd application- Noticeable surface change, significantly smoother. Is this for real? Day 4, 8th application - Blemishes disappearing, small bumps evening out. The bf asked "Did you just sign up for some crazy facial package? You are looking radiant!" This is no joke. Day 7, 14th application - not a swipe of concealer or a pat of powder and I am looking like a million dollars! My face is soft like a baby's bum. This vial is my new hero

 Do yourself a favour and buy a dream of bright/poreless/radiant skin - debuting in March.

Mushroom Murky: OPI Over-The-Taupe vs. You Don't Know Jacques!

  Autumn winter fingers had vampish display of red, burgundy and dark purple and for a short moment, many a lady pondered over the unflattering jade as a possible nail colour (thankfully, it died).
This spring, Eyespy predicts the subdued mushroom hue to be a big hit. Not intrusive, work appropriate and definitely standout-ishly light amongst everyone and your mom's dark claws, taupe is the way. OPI's brand new Bright's Collection in Over-The-Taupe (lighter) and last season's You Don't Know Jacques! (darker) would do the deed. Be ready for compliments!

Over The Taupe


 

You Don't Know Jacques!  

 

Fighting the Weather - Harnn Jasmine Natural Body Oil Spray

Behold Thailand's famed natural aromotherapy spa line Harnn. A few spritz and a rub of the Jasmine Natural Body Oil Spray with Sesame Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil, and Chamomile extract, dryness gone, baby soft skin hello!

 

 

Overworked vs. Power Play: GNC Hair, Skin & Nails Formula

Quicksand workload and underappreciated efforts equates lack of sleep + bad food binge + shedding skin + shower drain full of hair and an unhealthy ingestion of nails. How do I look a million dollars by Friday after 5 entire days battling a lack of everything good to your body?

My trick of the trade: GNC Hair, Skin & Nails Formula (approx HK$200) work wonders. I look alive, healthy and even radiant with 3 capsules a day, just after my breakfast. Lack lustre skin becomes hydrated and plump, hair stays on my scalp and a wonderful strong set of nails ready to type away!

Lipsy: Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited

Many ask, so what is your Happy Hour Minx to Midnight Vixen weapon of choice on a Friday night? Besides the undeniably essential cat-eye black kohl eyeliner and a lethal spread of thickening and lengthening mascara, I would say Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited lipsticks are my ultimate.

Aliens: Paris Fashion Week - Alexander McQueen Spring 2010

 

 
 
  
  
 

Talk about deja vu, after raving about the box-office hit sci-fi sensation District 9, Alexander McQueen seemed to echo the alien invasion trend with his models strutting Paris fashion week all covered in an eerie pearl sheen, eyebrows and lips dissapearing into the hue like deep sea creatures with gravity defying devil's hair and complex cornrows and tufts wrapping around like snakes. Some even wore prosthetics around their eyes to make them look even more foreign to the planet. His monstrous 10-inch crab hoof botties and alien liquid/tentacle heels are even crazier. See more of Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 collection.
