These are the contents of my purse. I don’t find any use for most of the make up carry but I carry them anyway… on a daily basis. I don’t know why but I like to think of it as some sort of “security blanket” if you will.

Aside from all the make up, I always carry my iPod, a wallet for all my cards and ID, a coin purse that carries all my money -even the paper bills (although I know they should go into the wallet. I’m weird like that.), alcohol, leave on for  my hair (which I also almost never use), and shades. Actually my bag also contained receipts as far back as 2 moths ago, wrappers, and crumbs.. lol

I realized that if I carry only what I really need and use, I could leave the house with a small pouch instead of a big one, then I could avoid having to dig through my bag looking for a pen or what not.

Look what I got my hands on.. This, my beloved readers, is my new favorite thing… the most wonderful-lest and the greatest all in one cosmetic thingy magig you will ever find. Your guaranteed great mileage with a tube of NARS The Multiple.

The NARS Multiple is an all in one solution for you eyes, cheeks, lips and body. With the different shades available you can get glamorous highlights and accents no matter the skin tone.  So far, I have liked using The Multiple because of the oil free formula (I’m big on oil free anything.)

The one I got is Nars The Multiple in Palm Beach. This is a brown shade with a semi matte finish that can be used as a bronzer for a sun kissed glow. It’s a great shade for morenas and if applied properly on the fair skin, will give you a savaged california tan. I plan on getting  myself the South Beach shade as well, this is a lighter variation and it looks like it applies sheer. I want something I can use as a blush, Palm beach is a bit too dark for my skin tone to pass as an every day blush on so I thought to try the next shade up, lucky for me South Beach is sold at Cosme-de.com!!

Nars The Multiple is available in 12 shades; Cannes, Maui, South Beach, Copacabana, Palm Beach, St Barts, Maldives, Portofino, Mistyque. Click here to see what they look like.

Another trend making it big this season over at the west side is the jumpsuit trend. Were not talking about the denim jumpsuits with the tacky buckle things at the shoulder straps to hold them up.. We’re talking fun, flity, snazzy jumpsuits that shows off and flatters those vivacious curves. I haven’t seen any one sporting the look yet, so will you be one of the first to fashion the look>

In my endeavour to try out all the spas i can manage, I cut work short last night to visit a Bioessence spa at Greenhills . Their services include treatments you’d typically find at the sort of establishment. You can get anything from skin treatments and facials that you can enjoy with a foot and hand spa, to a  body massage, slimming treatment (yes ladies.. SLIMMING!), and the very intriguing Queen of Sheba’s Milk Bath, and that’s to only mention a few of their services.

Bioessence offers free consultations with a specialist so you can figure out which of their several treatments best suit your needs. I would’ve gone for Sheba’s bath just for the luxurious experience of soaking in milk but it was unfortunately unavailable at this particular branch. Since I already get massages on a regular basis and I always complain about the crater sized pores on my nose, I went for a much needed facial. A visit to a derm clinic was long over due for me anyways.

I was pampered with Bioessence’s Purifying facial which was recommended by their specialist during my pre-treatment consultation where she had me stick my head in a box like contraption so I could see where my problem areas were. To no surprise it was the pores on my nose and the rest of my T-zone.. unsightly. My face was first cleansed and an antibacterial mask was applied and then steamed prior to the pricking and extraction of the gunk that clogged my pores. Then Anne, the very polite young lady who did my facial, applied another mask that helped alleviate the redness and swelling as well as to close my oh so wide open pores.

Aside from the of services they offer, Bioessence is also the only establishment carries Oxygen - a range of  skin care products that  imported from Canada.

All in all I give give them a 10 for great services, friendly people, knowledgeable staff, and a clean establishment. They are very attentive to each customer’s needs and made sure that I was comfortable. You can visit their website here for a complete list of services.
