I was a little bit of a gaming nerd growing up, and could spend all day journeying through all the various levels of Super Mario Bros in search for Princess Peach, with my friends Yoshi and Toad. It is really cool to see Nintendo stage a comeback with these characters, and poke some cheeky fun at itself with the pixelated Mario cast. The marketing geniuses must have figured out that female gaming nerds have a propensity to turn into beauty junkies, because the new Shu Uemura x Super Mario Bros Collection for Christmas 2017 had me squealing like a kid all over again!

I have really enjoyed every collection that RMK has released over the course of this year, and it amazes me that they still manage to knock my socks off with the latest Seductive Love Collection for Christmas 2017! This collection is inspired and featured artwork by Midori Sato, a young but accomplished artist whose works are based on the feeling of pleasure in encountering beautiful objects in daily life or travel. The collection consists of 2 very special limited edition coffret sets, and I am excited to show them to you today!

Every girl has, at some point in her life, coveted… and if so lucky, owned… something from Tiffany. I secretly suspect the time-honoured wedding tradition of “something blue” refers to every bride’s desire for a robin’s-egg blue box on her special day. From fine jewelry to timepieces and home accessories, the Tiffany blue box symbolises luxury and evokes happiness. And today, to further expand the range of experiences, Tiffany has relaunched its own fragrance… the Tiffany & Co Eau de Parfum.

Are we in a time warp? The year is rapidly coming to an end, and yet here I am, rewinding the stories and taking us back to Fall. The good news is, these are all permanent so there is no time like the present to indulge in some retail therapy. For some ideas on stocking stuffers, consider the new Guerlain Kiss Kiss Matte Lipsticks and Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks!

The best part about year-end holiday collections is the arrival of Christmas coffrets!! Somehow they seem like more of a Japanese tradition, but if you can get hold of them, they make really great gifts. More importantly, these coffrets often feature limited edition items that are not normally offered by the brands. With that in mind, I’d like to show you the Lunasol Winter 2017 Candle Night Collection!

At some point in a beautyjunkie’s life, after you’ve dabbled with a little this and that, there comes a time when the notion of fillers start to dominate. I’ve been considering several treatments of late, to bring back the youthful cheekbones and sculpted jawline… so imagine my excitement when the latest La Prairie innovation promises to do all that without any poking needles!
