Another drugstore product has made it into my Daly Product love line up. I wanted to try something different from my Nivea Q10. Lately I’ve felt that the silicone content, while making the lotion feel silky and smooth on my skin, wasn’t actually sinking in and moisturising my skin as much as I wanted. I was reapplying often and perhaps this is due to central heating being turned on but at any [...]
The YSL Holiday 2012 Make Up Collection includes a gorgeous top coat called Premiere Neiges. It’s a glitter top coat that adds a sprinkling of fairy dust-like “snow” to any colour. It transforms all colours into magical and pretty shimmery delights and is unique in that the glitter is not suspended per say – you have to shake it up from the bottom of the bottle to make the magic [...]

Comme de Garçons has some lovely simple and beautiful perfumes. They also have some intense & exotic perfumes, so it’s safe to say they have a perfume for everyone. If you read the blog regularly you know I love rose- the scent of rose, using rosewater, scenting my home with rose…. I can’t go on and on and wax rhapsodic about Comme de Garçons Series 2: Rose eau de toilette. [...]
Even though I am obsessed with beauty, I don’t spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning. Reason? Laziness, perhaps? Also, as time goes by, I find I don’t like the feeling of a lot of stuff on my face. But, like anyone, I like to look polished, bright eyed and as radiant as possible with as little effort as possible. I spend time on my skincare routine, [...]
Wow. This is a va-va-voom red. I am seriously in love with this OPI shade that was, not surprisingly, from their 2006 25th Anniversary Collection. It is part of their regular collection now, and thank goodness for that. It’s a deep cherry red, that tends to be deep & dark rather than bright. In certain lighting it’s almost vampy, which is rather cool and shape-shifter-y of it. It’s got a [...]
Robert Piguet is a fashion house that launched in the early 30s, and is most famously known for it’s bomabstic, gorgeous and take-no-prisoners scents of the 40s. There is Bandit, a naughty and butch leather fragrance, not for the meek, and also Fracas, a reference tuberose, nay, the Queen of all tuberose perfumes. They were both made by the ahead of her time Germaine Cellier – whose knowledge of fragrance [...]
I am a fan of Dermaglow skincare, and their Lip Plumping balm is a staple in my make up arsenal. I got the chance to try their new Dermaglow BB Eye Illuminator- available at drugstores in Canada. It’s not listed on their website yet, and I don’t know if anyone outside Canada can get their hands on it… So back to the product. It is an illuminating cream that in [...]
Scent is our strongest memory trigger. I know my earliest memories involve scent….being a wee sprog and getting into my mum’s make up. Her luxe cake mascara and those 60s lipsticks had a distinct rose scent that has been reproduced in few perfumes, notably Frederic Malle Lipstick Rose and my favourite, L’Artisan Parfumeur Drole de Rose, and a whiff of those perfumes send me reeling back in time. There are [...]
