Dior: Out of the comfort zone and in with the Birds of Paradise
“I’ll never wear blue eyeshadow.” – I seem to make a habit of saying things I’ll never do and then just doing them anyway. When I received the Dior Summer collection it was one of those moments of make up revelation. I will and I must wear these shadows. Enter – the aquatic eye look.
Creative finds: Revlon Nail Art Pens
I used to this nail art pens should be reserved for slumber parties and/or a mid-teen crisis but since nail art is making such a splash on the beauty scene it only made sense that beauty brands would start to offer us something to have fun with. Read More
The Rose Chapters: Lip Colour
It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Rose is cool – not because I say so, but because brands like Fresh, REN and Lancome are bringing it back. There was a time when it was seen as the scent of the elders — maybe I love it because I’m all grown up? In my series of rose-inspired posts I’ve decided to start with a couple of lip colours that are new to the market and something you can enjoy whether you’re a lipstick or lip gloss fan. Check out the pictures. Read More
Oh Deer! Subtle Shimmers with The Body Shop
{The Body Shop Shimmer Palette – The Leona Lewis Edition $22}
Sometimes I can be such a girl. If it’s pink and shimmery I’ll love it with all my heart. That’s pretty much what happened when I put this gorgeous Body Shop Shimmer Palette on. A twist on their standard Shimmer Waves, this limited version has been moulded in to the shape of a deer to celebrate the brand’s collaboration with British singer, Leona Lewis. Read on to see what the product looks like on the cheeks…
The Luxury List: Coral Edition
{The Luxury Coral List}
A year doesn’t pass without an unhealthy number of coral lipsticks entering my lipstick collection. The moment the sun comes out (as well as the spring/summer beauty collections) so does my wallet. I do make a point of pulling together my coral lippies from last year to make sure I’m going for something different every time but let’s be real, who cares if it’s gorgeous! Check out the luxury corals that are in my bag this season…
The Top Coat Revolution
{The Coats}
When YSL’s Premiere Neige polish came out last Christmas I was all over that stuff like a pritt-stick to paper. How could a top coat, something so simple, be so beautiful. Imparting a gorgeous layer of gloss and tiny sparkle barely noticeable to the naked eye. I know what you’re thinking. “Why would I spend $27 on a top coat polish?” Well, frankly, read on…
Showering scents: A garden of Rose
{Yardley London – English Rose Luxury Body Wash}
Oh, Luxury doesn’t even cover it. Imagine showering with the silkiest and softest of rose petals all over your body. I never knew I would have such an intense love for the scent of rose but this has sparked a serious obsession.
See the Marrakech Sunset this Summer with YSL
{Yves Saint Laurent – Summer 2013 Collection}
The new YSL Summer 2013 collection is close to my heart. Okay well all makeup is close to my heart but this collection especially so because the colours and theme are based around Marrakech – a vibrant and beautiful city in my home country, Morocco. Check out the pictures that I took below when visiting the The Majorelle Garden, which was once owned by Saint Laurent himself. Notice how the colours in the collection closely resemble the shades found in the garden? Gorgeous hues of brown, pink and beige with a pop of a vibrant, royal, purply-blue…
