I’ve heard a lot of good things about this oil prior to giving it a go. Okay, maybe not so much the oil but I did read about the gorgeous NUXE spa in Paris. And that they use the Huile Prodigieuse in their massages. Mmm …

Right, back to the oil. I was kindly given a bottle of the gold oil during the Beauty Blogger’s Utopia in September. I’m usually a bit meh when it comes to body oils, which was what I thought this was in the beginning. It was only after the introduction to the oil that I found out, you can actually use this on your face and hair as well.

Given that I’m not usually a huge fan of skin oils, how did this one fare?

Things are slowly winding down as we draw near to the end of 2012. Everyone’s in a holiday mood now (especially me!) and it’s difficult to be productive when all I want to do is get all my Christmas shopping done, wrap presents and just chill.

Today’s Bloggie Wednesdays is going to be the last one of the year. What started out as a bit of fun in 2011 as a few posts about blogging has lasted for well over a year. Next to writing about blushes (oh you know I can wax lyrical about ’em blushes all day long), the Bloggie Wednesdays series was the most fun to write. They’re also the posts I receive the most comments on.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy you enjoying Bloggie Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I get comments and emails from readers telling me they love the series. It really warms my heart. Thank YOU for finding them useful. I’m not a blogging expert; I’m just another blogger sharing what she knows.

I’ve been poring over all of the Bloggie Wednesdays articles I’ve written in 2012. Some were pretty good (ahem), some were not. Some I’ve highly enjoyed writing, some required a lot of screencapping and editing.

Without further ado, I present to you the best of (or at least, my favourite) Bloggie Wednesdays for 2012.

It doesn’t seem like ages ago when Australia came up with BB creams. We were already very late to the party; the Asians have been rocking BB creams for about 10 years before it became popular in the West. Now that we’re getting used to the idea of BB creams, here comes CC creams.

CC creams? What’s next? DD creams? ZZ creams? 😛

When BB creams are known as Blemish Balms, CC creams are Colour Control/Colour Correction creams. They are meant to go one step above BB creams. On top of the skincare properties in the makeup, CC creams are also meant to provide a more effective skin coverage (e.g. better coverage on redness). As the words would have it, they’re meant to provide better colour control for your skin, creating a more even skin tone and better coverage. The formula is slightly improved and more refined than that of BB creams.

In other words, just think of CC creams as BB creams 2.0.
