This week’s fragrance review is a bit earlier, so that you still have some time to go out and get something nice for Valentines’ Day. Nothing is more romantic than roses, and for this special occasion, I’ve teamed up with the gorgeous Sara of Colormeloud to bring you… A Minuet of Roses! There are fresh […]
I am reminded today of how wonderful it is to have like-minded blogger friends who are willing to share. Meryl of Memoiselle.com and I did a little swap of our Tom Ford Spring 2015 items, and I’m delighted to be able to round up my review of the collection with Tom Ford Eye Color Duo […]
Counting down the days til the cutest Holiday 2014 launch… I thought I’d give you a closer look at a couple of the other pieces of the Shu Uemura x Karl Lagerfeld Shupette Collection. The star of the collection is of course the Shupette Has-It-All Lip & Eye Palette (reviewed here) which consists of 8 eyeshadows […]

With a whopping 26 shades, there is bound to be something to please anybody and every mood or occasion!

I was very excited to see Crabtree & Evelyn launching a brand new skincare collection, as it has been many years since their last. Crabtree & Evelyn is a lovely brand that has for too long been associated with hand creams and bath items, so it is incredibly refreshing to see the company reach out […]
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 […]
I am always excited to try makeup that have skincare benefits, but so far, I’ve always been disappointed. Most of the time the textures are either too thick, or they simply don’t have good oil control abilities (is it really so antithetical to be moisturizing AND mattifying at the same time?). Given I’ve been underwhelmed […]
I’m feeling very nostalgic lately, what with my favorite beauty companies looking to TV and movie classics for inspirations. Much as I can’t stop re-reading The Hunger Games and The Mortal Instruments, the movie adaptations are just lackluster. For true cinematic classics, my favorite heroines are Uma Thurman of Pulp Fiction, and Milla Jovovich from […]
Chanel Coco Noir was first launched in 2012, but I have only recently been able to sit back and appreciate it. Inspired by the time that Coco Chanel spent in Venice in 1919 shortly after the death of her lover, Boy Capel. She fell in love with the exquisite beauty of Venice and its Byzantine influences […]
Hello! It has been an incredibly long week for me… craziness at work… and I wished I had more time to sit and just write about beauty stuff… le sigh. But it is the weekend, and I really wanted to share this little bottle of goodness that i’ve been enjoying for the past month! Shiseido […]
It seems like everybody is going bananas over the new NARS Audacious Lipsticks! And I couldn’t understand why… I mean, staring at the rows and rows of new lipsticks (there are 40 of them!)… they all looked the same to me. Seriously, my eye can tell maybe 4 shades apart… and then the rests all […]
Chanel recently launched a couple of base products that I’m loving immensely. Unlike their seasonal offerings, Chanel seems to have a practice of quietly releasing permanent products to very little fanfare (so different from their competitors!). I would have missed them completely if not for a very enlightening workshop which I attended recently.
