It is a Lush Life!
I just celebrated my little bub’s birthday yesterday… gosh I cannot believe he is 2 already! And whilst I’d love to just bask in the post-celebration buzz, and reminisce about how my little baby is growing up into his own person; I’m cognizant of how behind I am in posting this. So before October turns to November, and in the […]
Dolce & Gabbana Tangier for Summer 2014 makes a Smooth Transitional Palette for Fall!
Dolce & Gabbana Smooth Eye Color Quad is something I have been coveting for the longest time. But given the disparate reviews for various quads out there, I’ve been putting one or another palette in my shopping cart and taking it out again. This is what happens when there isn’t a physical counter where I […]
Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick in Amaryllis
I am seriously conflicted… life is very difficult when you have not 1 but 2 favorites #onepairoflipsonly #firstworldproblem. I had waxed lyrical about these lipsticks before, but that was before I received my very first Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick. This line of lipsticks is not new to the brand, but since […]

Before Summer gives way to Autumn, let’s take a look at one of the last Summer 2014 offerings to hit town. Givenchy Croisiere Terre Exotique or Healthy Glow Powder is the French label’s answer to this summer’s call.

Doppelgänger spotted: Chanel Le Vernis 623 Mirabella
Chanel Le Vernis Mirabella (623) was the one nail polish from the Reflets d’Ete Collection that I had my eyes on the moment I spied the press images online. Orange is de rigueur this Summer 2014, and Mirabella was simply described as “orange”. I don’t know if there are different batches of Mirabella, but the one I […]
SUQQU Summer 2014 Blend Color Eyeshadow EX-20 Natsubotan
I am so excited I’m literally bouncing off the walls to be able to bring you today’s post! SUQQU Blend Color Eyeshadow EX-20 Natsubotan was the highly-coveted Summer 2014 offering from the Japanese brand, and was sold out in Japan and Selfridges within hours of launch. I had actually wanted to pass on this beauty, because […]
Gleaming Mermaid Eyes & Alluring Sirens with MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection
There is something wrong when a brand veers far out from its usual, and suddenly delivers out-of-this-world colors with never-before-seen quality. Yes, something is very wrong with MAC this year. For Summer 2014, MAC brings us far out to the mythical seas filled with mermaids worshipping in the sun, sea sirens drawing us in with […]

Welcome to Mani-Monday again! Today I celebrate a no-blues Monday with a true blue manicure! Dior Vernis Sailor (700) is one of the Manucure Nail Polish & Couture Sticker Duo that is part of the Dior Summer 2014 Transat Edition release. I had discussed the package contents and introduced the concept of these Manucure sets last week during […]
Bronzed Goddess with Chanel Reflets d’Ete Summer 2014 Illusion d’Ombre
Aahh Chanel, just as I thought I was swearing off your little jars of glittery preciousness (because I never use them fast enough and then they dry up in loneliness)… you turn out even more gorgeousness! I wasn’t even keeping an eye out for these, but sometimes life is like that isn’t it? You just […]
Dior Manucure Transat Nail Polish 210 Yacht
I was rather excited when I saw that Dior was releasing 3 sets of nail polishes & nail stickers for Summer 2014, as this is the first high-end brand to bring us nail stickers. Together with last Fall’s Mystic Magnetics, Dior has a special place in my heart as the most adventurous and progressive with its […]
