YSL Desir de Jour Collection for Spring 2015
Springtime in Paris… there is no other imagery more powerful than that, and YSL captured the essence of it perfectly with the Desir de Jour Collection for Spring 2015. I had not expected to fall in love with this collection, as it felt very familiar… and yet upon closer inspection, not quite. This season, most other houses […]
YSL La Laque Couture Les Sequins Manicure for Spring 2015
YSL really surprised me this Spring with a very bold pair of nail polishes, completely caught unaware, I was NOT expecting a black and white pairing for a season that is typically marked by pastels and sweet girly hues. As if the bold color choice is insufficient on its own, YSL has chosen to make them textured […]
Get Glowing with these Liquid Illuminators!
It always seemed strange to me to be talking about liquid illuminators in the summer as that is probably when you need them the least. Instead, as the months get progressively drier as we approach winter, not to mention the blingy year-end parties, I find myself thinking more about illuminators. I’ve collected a few over […]
YSL Couture Palette Nº11 Ballet Russes
If there was one palette that best represents the spirit of the new YSL Beaute Couture Palettes, it is Nº 11 Ballet Russes. The Ballets Russes was one of the most influential ballet companies of the 20th century due to its ground-breaking artistic collaborations, and was widely known as a leader of the avant-garde culture […]
Where I Shop for Makeup in Singapore…Tips & Tricks Included!
I always get asked by readers and Instagram followers where I get certain things from. Others assume beauty bloggers get sent all sorts of stuff for free all the time and whip up reviews from thin air (i.e. copy and paste)… this cannot be farther from the truth. I am first and foremost, a beauty […]

YSL La Laque Couture Bleu Celadon (50)
Last week I told you the tale of how I had my eyes on one YSL La Laque Couture from the Summer 2014 Bleus Lumiere collection, and ended up with both… and this week, I’m giving you a look at the one that had me at hello. YSL La Laque Couture #50 Bleu Celadon […]
YSL La Laque Couture #51 Bleu Cyclades
For Summer 2014, YSL has introduced 2 nail lacquers as part of the Bleus Lumiere Collection. I had my eye on #50 Bleu Celadon the moment I spied the press images, and picked it up moments after it appeared on our local counters. But #51 Bleu Cyclades took me by surprise, and has been reigning […]
Vacation musings: Let’s talk sun protection!
When I think vacations, I think sunny beaches, endless hours dozing on a hammock in the breeze. It’s interesting because not too long ago beach holidays didn’t interest me at all, I wanted to visit cities, museums, shopping, theater, etc. Probably another sign of aging. But whilst I cannot stay the test of time, I […]
