Practical Charm

Everyone!

April will be away for the week and be back with more to bring you features from the wonderful world of Bangkok shopping!

Please leave me a message or comment if there is anything that you'd like me to check out for you over there!

I'll still be sending my usual updates for the site over here!

Be back soon and don't miss me!

Love,
April

Hi Everybody!

April here! Minishorts has delegated me some responsiblities to improve and prep up the site and so here I am!

I have big, humongous, gigantic, crazy, fun and fresh ideas for the site that I will be incorporating. Shopping parties, networking sessions, Health and Beauty tips, salon experimenting just to name a few!

Minishorts will still be making her contributions to the site, and two new writers will be joining us for the ride! One includes a writer from the northern region of the Peninsula for all you shopaholics up north!

What we want from you is your feedback. It's so important and delightful to hear from you so that we can still continue to be critical to give you the best that we can!

Oh wow! I'm so hyped up, I'm going to get started right away!

P/S hope you all love the new look!

We've been busy. But now we're completely ready. Stay tuned to this site on 1st November 2007.

April and I are supremely caught up with work, hence explains the silence for the past few days.

BUT I WENT SHOPPING IN FERINGGHI JUST DAYS AGO AND CAME HOME WITH LOTS OF THINGS TO SHOW!!

Actually… I wanted to show off the new Chloe bag I got, but because it's probably not very legal to do so… I'm just going to sneak off for a bit.

Oh April also went to do some salon-shopping and she's in the midst of cleaning up the photos to show for it.

Wait up for that.

If any of you have ever noticed before, every season, Dior will release a special edition makeup palette that is available in limited quantities. I personally am particularly sensitive to the release of these beautifully packaged collectibles and I must comment that I am most impressed with the latest Spring Palette by Dior.

Absolutely love it. For the past seasons, they have usually been releasing a palette full of assorted eyeshadows and lip glosses but I love this one cause it has all the basic needs for a long lasting makeup.

Drool over the packaging ladies, its a compact magnetic case wrapped in white leather. Although available in 2 sets, I chose 'Peachy Adventure' as it had the dark eyeshadow perfect for amplfying and lining eyes, a not so plumpy but pouty lip colour and the most natural brush.

The other one would be more suited towards those who want more emphasis on their pouts with a deeper tone of fuschia for gloss and purple eyeshadow with a bright pink flush for cheeks.

You'll need to check it out yourself at the Dior counters. Retailing at RM169 (Duty free and out of duty free) A must collect for every Dior fan like me

Practical Charm's got a brand new member on board, and she's someone who loves fashion and lives fashion. April owns her very personal homemade costume jewellery line, and is ten times the sucker for high fashion than I am. If I'm always seeking Practicality first, then April's the one who'll pay up for Charm.

Having this in mind I also took the liberty to update our 'About' page to reflect the ownership of this website.

Next up in our plans: blog promotions, signing up for payperpost, on route to problogging (just for kicks), and installing zencart!!

I set up this site to specifically cater to my feminine needs. So diets, clothes, shoes, accessories, make-up, beauty tips, malls… this will be the underlying theme of this site. Obviously it will seem SLIGHTLY commercialized after a while, because this is going to be an ad-filled site, as opposed to what minishorts looks like.Here's to a brand new experiment.
