Hello my dears!!! I’ve been planning a surprise giveaway for awhile now, but have been too busy to get around to putting my mind to the grind. Now, at last, I have curated a box of some of my personal favourites, filled with things you can use on a daily basis and a bit more! It’s […]
I never was a very big believer in fate, although I do recognise there is such a thing as being in the right place at the right time. As Chanel used to say, “..chance only comes to those who know how to recognize it, carried by a gust of optimism.” And there is nothing more […]
Is it me, or does it seem like everybody is switching jobs lately? It definitely feel like the year for changes, and these few months in particular feel like interview season. So, with that in mind, I thought I’d share with you an office makeup look that I’ve been wearing for interviews lately, complete with tips […]
It has been such an incredibly long time since I last wrote about brushes, that I find myself almost at a loss as to where to begin. But that in no way mean that I have not been exploring or acquiring more fluffies… quite the opposite in fact. Good makeup brushes elevate the entire makeup […]
This morning as I was driving to work, I caught my husband staring at me out of the corner of my eye. I kept quiet just to see how long he could keep it up… as it turned out, quite long! Finally, I asked him what’s up, and he said he was just admiring how […]
Happy mid-week my loves!! I’ve had some bits of annoyances at work earlier this week, but I just spent all morning attending an Aesop’s Fables play outing with my little toddler, so all’s beautiful in the world again. It is his very first time at the theater… so exciting! And for this early morning mummy […]
One of the great things about Chanel is that every product line – from fashion to accessories and beauty - is under the same management and privately-owned by Coco Chanel’s original business partner and investor. In contrast to other brands under licensing arrangements, there is greater integration of fashion and beauty, with a depth of […]
I’ve always had a problem with my mascaras smudging and running, even with so-called waterproof and smudge-proof mascaras. It is the rare invention that survives my oily, hooded lids and the tropical humidity that I run around in. Consequently, a lash primer has grown to be an essential part of my life. However, even as […]
Once in a while, a brand new product comes along that makes you sit up and take notice. For me, the new innovation that has filled my endless mental meanderings for the past 2 months has been the new REN Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot.
There is a new scent in the air… a crisp new sensation of Spring gently warming into Summer. Close your eyes, can you hear the waves washing to shore in the distance? The call of seagulls as they chatter carelessly about mermen sightings or fish – one never knows. Feel the gentle breeze lifting your […]
One of the most highly anticipated items from Dior Snow Spring 2015 makeup collection is this limited edition Le Neiges de Diorsnow 001 Rainbow Powder. It is an all-over finishing face powder designed to revitalize the complexion and bring a healthy, luminous glow to the skin. As I had briefly introduced in an earlier post […]
Since the start of this year, people have been commenting that my skin looked better than ever. I must admit that is partly due to my Thermage treatment [you can read more about that here] and some dietary supplements [more on that at a later stage]. Whilst boosting collagen from inside out works well in […]
This Spring, Guerlain seems to have taken us back to the Renaissance, where the epitomy of beauty is baby soft skin, with a peek of soft flush on the cheeks and sweetly-tinged lips. Whilst the imagery is not too far from today’s modern definition of beauty, I was surprised that Guerlain has chosen to take […]
