Gosh, summer is flying past, and I just realized I’m so behind on my reviews. Before we lose the sunshine (not likely out here in sunny Singapore anyway!), I’d like to introduce you to Guerlain’s limited edition summer 2013 release – Terra Ora. Can you believe that until recently, I didn’t own a single bronzer? […]
Giorgio Armani Bronze All-Over Palette
Before the summer’s over, I decided to snag this limited edition Giorgio Armani Bronze All-Over Palette. It wasn’t initially part of my summer must-haves because it looked like all the eye shadow shades were readily dupe-able, I probably already own these shades in some variations or other in my stash. But the bronzer is just-so-drop-dead-gorgeous!!! When […]

Sex on the beach: Tom Ford Summer 2013
“I wanted to capture a very particular look of skin that is bathed in sunset light in the summer. It is a sultry and sublime glow.

Laura Mercier Folklore Summer 2013
I was passing through Bugis+ yesterday, and couldn’t resist making a quick detour into Sephora. And found Laura Mercier’s Summer 2013 Folklore collection out on display!

One of the highlights of the […]
Dior Bird of Paradise Le Vernis Samba duo
A quick mid-week polish change! Partly because my last set got all torn up, and also because I couldn’t wait to dip my fingers into my latest Dior Le Vernis duo: Bird of Paradise in Samba! These are limited edition, and are part of 2 pairs of minis (each 7ml, vs 10ml for the usual) that […]
