And…my Chanel nail polish love continues with yet another soft neutral. Easy to wear and very summery, Chanel Intermezzo takes the “Secret Shimmer” Chanel does so well and bumps it up a notch. Not so secret but certainly subtle, the soft pink/green shimmer in the pale silvery white of Intermezzo adds a fun and very pretty dimension to what could just be another pale neutral. I usually wear opaque whites [...]
If you have been reading this blog, you know I am a huge Palmers fan. I have the CocoButter stick in my car at all times for lips, cuticles, knees and elbows, and of course, the unscented Palmers Coco Butter Lotion is a staple in my moisturizer arsenal. During the deep cold dry months of winter, the Coco Butter Formula solid in the jar is often the only the only thing [...]
I got myself this lovely cream when I purchased the Benefit Foamingly Clean cleansing cream. It comes in such a pretty pale blue glass jar, this line of products really looks pretty and elegant sitting on your vanity or bathroom shelf. Too pretty to hide away! I liked the consistency of the cream when I sampled it at Sephora as it felt rich but not greasy- which works for me. [...]
I have been eyeing the new Benefit skincare line for awhile. The packaging is pretty with that signature Benefit retro style and quite appealing actually. The sky blue glass jars or plastic tubes with the burled wood look to the caps remind me of antique glass with hobnail detailing. They have a tactile appeal as well as visual- which I love. Practical as well, as they don’t slip right out [...]

Oh Chanel – you and your divine nail polish shades are making my wallet weep. I tried, like REALLY TRIED, to find a dupe for Chanel Jade Rose. Jade Rose underwhelmed me when it was released but, then, a year later, I just fell for it. Seeing it in Chanel’s Cruisewear 2011 show combined with Beige Petale as the mani-pedi combo made me have. To. Have. It. I looked high [...]
Jasmine field in China Jasmine is my favourite note in perfume and I am constantly searching for a simple, green jasmine that smells sweet and true. Jasmine scents (and other white florals such as orange blossom, gardenia, honeysuckle and lilac) can be tricky as they often contain indolic compounds- hard to explain although Bois de Jasmin does a superb job here- that need to be finely balanced in the dilution [...]
Music: I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my revisiting of The Eagles classic, Hotel California. I adored this and got a copy of this in vinyl when I was 12, then later when I was driving, I had the cassette tape to listen to in my car. It makes me think of summer and, well, driving, and those are two of my most favorite things so the associations are Good Things. Yes, [...]
