My Picks from the Burberry Winter Glow Collection for Holiday 2014
It is just 2 more days til Christmas! Are you back with your family and preparing for the big feast? The lil bub fell sick again last week, and between sharing some soup with him and my own marathon bout of the flu, I’m down as well. Oh well, it can only get better! And […]
Shiseido Sparkling Party Palette for Holiday 2014
I can’t believe it is the final weekend before Christmas! Have you gotten your party outfit and makeup all planned? If you are still casting around for ideas, do take a look at Shiseido’s Sparkling Party Palette. Very few palettes out there are truly all-in-one (most lack either a cheek or lip color), but this […]
Tom Ford Lips and Boys: Complete Swatches & Review
Ladies! Are you ready to ring in the new year! It’s going to be an exciting one… because we are starting with the global launch of Tom Ford Lips & Boys on 2 January 2015!!! This highly anticipated collection of 50 (yes FIFTY!!) lipsticks was initially only available on Black Friday in a special limited […]
Cle de Peau Beaute Celeste Collection for Holiday 2014
I know I’m running very close to Christmas, and this may not even arrive in time for you to do your holiday shopping… but hey, some things are better late than never. And who says all the holiday sets are meant only as gifts? I love hoarding all the limited editions even though I may […]
SUQQU Christmas 2014 Kit B featuring Ex-23 Tsukianzu
Suqqu really surprised me this year… it is not often that we find a beauty company turning out something new every season. I’m not just talking about new color palettes, but actual new products and formulas. Last Summer we saw that ethereal semi-transparent shimmer coat in Ex-20 Natsubotan; last Fall was the double whammy of […]
Surratt Beauty Lipsliques in Hevyn, Pom Pon & Peccadille
After my meeting with Troy Surratt [story here], I was very inspired to take a fresh look at makeup, going back to basics instead of chasing trends. I want to look at makeup the way a normal woman would shop, find the products that make sense in a limited functioning wardrobe, instead of buying every […]
Dior Golden Shock Colour Lip Duos & Golden Reflections 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow for Holiday 2014
There is nothing that speaks of opulence and luxury as well as the color gold. So for the 2nd year running, Dior has turned to gold packaging and woven gold throughout its Holiday collection. There is no disregarding the fact that it is beautifully designed, but for makeup-holics who have been seen their fair share […]
Appreciating Guerlain’s A Night at the Opera Collection for Holiday 2014
The one thing that I love about Guerlain is that it is never a one-trick pony. Whilst other brands build entire collections around 1-2 eyeshadow palettes, or maybe 1 very pretty highlighter, or even a collection of lipsticks; Guerlain has done excellently in more than 1 product category with this year’s A Night at the […]
Tom Ford Dresses up the Eyes in Platinum & Spice and sets Lips on Flame for Holiday 2014
Hot off the trail of the previous FW2014 collection, we now turn to Tom Ford’s Holiday 2014 offering. This time, it almost feels as if the brand “cheated” a little by re-promoting 2 cream color for eyes both from the Spring 2012 collection. It was soldout then, and I am glad for a second chance […]
Shu Uemura x Karl Lagerfeld Holiday 2014: Shupette Has-it-all Eye & Lip Palette!!
The holidays are coming!! Time to break out the glitter, shake things up a bit, and bring out the inner meow in you! And what is more fun than a designer collaboration featuring a whimsical, uber luxe, cat?! This year, Shu Uemura has partnered with Karl Lagerfeld for the second time, to bring us a […]
