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 […]
I love it when beauty brands pull out something unexpected out of the blue from time to time, something they have been keeping up their sleeves hidden away from our greedy eyes. That was the case with the Chanel Le Vernis #767 Fraicheur. A refreshing mint green nail polish that feels more spring than summer, sneaking up […]
After having recently acquired a large flacon of a fresh floral scent from Diptyque, I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with another so soon. I find myself close to the point of tiring of fresh floral, and was surprised to find Diptyque launching yet another one so soon after Eau Plurielle. But I really […]

I was digging around my room for something else and unearthed this bottle unexpectedly, and decided to review it for today’s #ManiMonday post!
Sometimes the littlest things make all the difference… From the moment I laid eyes on Shu Uemura’s latest skincare offerings – Shu Uemura Blanc:Chroma – I was in love! Purple clear packaging with touches of white speaks of femininity and strength. Fresh soft white floral scent envelops in true sensory pleasure. And heralding a new age […]
The weekend is almost here, and there is no better reason to break out the sweets and treats! I’ve been enjoying lighter fragrances lately, but occasionally I need a change in palette from florals, and have been reaching out for Jo Malone Vanilla and Anise.
La Mer recently launched the brand new The Reparative Skintint which provides the benefits of a color product together with all the skin-loving goodness that La Mer is famous for. Ever since my previous holy grail The SPF18 Fluid Tint was discontinued years ago, I have been eagerly awaiting for a new improved version… and […]
This Spring, Chanel has launched a whole new range of Rouge Coco lipsticks that boast a more gentle and lip-loving formula. The full collection includes 29 shades ranging from nudes and corals to reds and plums.

Why is it that we often neglect the ones that we love the most? Whilst I was busy chasing the newest, shiniest thing, I had forgotten about half a dozen of new, gorgeous Surratt Artistique Eyeshadows that I had accumulated last year.
