I’d been curious about what Bobbi Brown has been up to since she left her eponymous brand last year. The news was that she was taking a break and working on something new.

Well, I’ve just come across news of what her new project is – a new book and approach to beauty in Beauty From the Inside Out.

I believe it’s just launched last month, and no, I don’t have it but unlike most beauty books, this is something I think I might want to buy and have a read, because she speaks about beauty coming from the inside – what you eat, your lifestyle choices, health etc and that’s something I can get behind 🙂

I’ve inserted below a couple of videos I came across about this book, that I found interesting, that you might too 🙂

There is much about the limited edition Jo Malone Star Magnolia fragrance that will leave you starry-eyed

The first time I laid eyes on the brand new and limited edition Jo Malone Star Magnolia cologne, I knew it would be a winner. How many perfume bottles do you see that come with a beautiful paper flower ruff, and better yet, in a very visually appealing, instagram-friendly WHITE GRADIENT bottle?

The bottle has a white gradient (vs clear), topped with a white cap (instead of silver as per usual) and with a white label (vs black). The thick, paper flower ruff around the neck of the bottle adds to its visual appeal, and I’m told that it will settle eventually, like a gently blooming flower.

Apt description, for the Jo Malone Star Magnolia fragrance is decidedly floral.

Introducing my most recent eyeliner of choice – the Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen

Pixi beauty is now very well known for their Glow Tonic glycolic acid toner that makes a great introductory glycolic acid toner for those new to it. They have also improved on and expanded their skincare range, with affordable, effective skincare so many now associate them with skincare.

But what some of you may not have realised, is that Pixi was quite popular for their makeup before this. This was quite a few years back, when the brand was still rather small and unknown in the beauty world. Sometimes, it just takes one superstar hit to bring a brand onto the radar of beauty junkies. I thought I’d share one of my favourites from the brand – the Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen.

Mine bears the older packaging that has a lovely whimsical vibe with the outline flowers adorning the pale green body of the pencil. The new packaging is less romantic, but more streamlined, with the body of the pencil depicting the colour of the liner, for this is what it is – a pencil eyeliner.

To be honest, I much prefer the older, more whimsical vibe given off by Pixi. Their packaging used to have little fairies on the cover and in its designs, that I found cute. Granted, I then didn’t take them as seriously, but it stood out.

I have to tell you though, that I love these Endless Silky eyeliners! 🙂

Your Say: Are you a paper bag hoarder? What do you do with your paper bags?

Over the weekend, I decided to brave the deep dark recesses of my storeroom to clear and reorganize the mess. It had gotten so bad in there, that I could not open my cupboard doors, and it was while trying to put away my luggage bag, that something in me snapped. So, I took it into my head to start clearing it out.

And one of the things I found I had bags and bags of were, paper bags. My name is Paris B and I’m a paper bag hoarder!

I’m quite sure I’m not alone in this Paper bag Situation.

You know how it is right? It’s always so nice to receive something in a fancy paper bag, and then you carefully fold them away, telling yourself it’ll come in handy one day.

Then, one day you open the door to your storeroom, and you can’t move, because those bags breed and you now have paper bags of all shapes and sizes spilling out of every shelf, tripping you up, and falling on your head as you try to get them in order.

What do you do? Are you a paper bag hoarder?

The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm is good stuff but something about it bugged me

The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum is iconic. It is also a favourite of mine, partly for sentimental reasons (I know that’s a weird reason to like a product, but it worked for me for many years when I was younger) and because I still find it effective at giving my skin the glowy boost it needs when my skin is tired. It works for me that way.

The Advanced Night Repair serum stood out on its own, in its little brown bottle in the Estee Lauder stable. But it’s now the core of a brand new range, with the introduction of the Ampoules, a Mask in Oil and also, strangely enough, a cleansing balm!

The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm comes in a jar with a shiny golden cover, bearing the iconic stripes along the edge, that brings it within the Advanced Night range of products.

There was a lot of rave about this, and I had quite a few people telling me I had to give it a go, because everyone knows I love cleansing balms and this was a good one to add to my repository. I’d had it with me for a while, and I’m going to tell you that it’s good. I will not deny it.

Yet, something bothered me about it. There was a niggling feeling at the back of my mind that I could not quite ignore, and just a few days ago, the penny dropped. Now, I’m ready to tell you what I think! 😀

I unearthed this one day from my stash, and I’d been playing around with it for the past few months. I’m not even sure where or when I got it (because I have a mini-Sephora like that LOL!) but it’s one of those products that are raved all up and down the internet, and you know me. If it’s a highly raved skincare item, I’m all over it!

This is the Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 10% Toning Complex (I’ll call it the Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid Toner) and what it is, is a toner. A clarifying toner, they call it. But it is also what is popularly known as an acid toner.

Toners like these contain acids (duh! Usually AHA or BHA) that help to chemically exfoliate skin. Ever since I learnt how good they are for my skin, I’ve used them for a few years now. It really does help, and I don’t even really use a physical exfoliator or scrub anymore.

But this. This is very popular, and I can see why. 10% Glycolic Acid baby! 😀
