Bronzed Goddess with Chanel Reflets d’Ete Summer 2014 Illusion d’Ombre
Aahh Chanel, just as I thought I was swearing off your little jars of glittery preciousness (because I never use them fast enough and then they dry up in loneliness)… you turn out even more gorgeousness! I wasn’t even keeping an eye out for these, but sometimes life is like that isn’t it? You just … Continue reading
Get that Elusive Curl with Guerlain Cils D’enfer Maxi Lash!
There are some things that I don’t normally shop for at a high end counter, mascaras are one of them. Call it reverse snobbery, but the vast majority of high end brands (used to) cater to Caucasians with naturally longer and thinner lashes. My Asian genes gave me short and somewhat stumpy ones that defy … Continue reading

Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation is touted as a … Continue reading
Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon Eyeliner
Ever since Marc Jacobs Beauty launched at Sephora stores in Singapore, it has been a constant pitstop in between appointments. There is just so much to check out! Especially since I’m no good at swatching everything in a go, and anyway I feel that mere swatches alone are not very useful without some actual personal … Continue reading
