I Feel Like Purring in Cartier Panthere Parfum
I recently found a bottle of this online- I suppose it is vintage as it is in a bottle style not available for quite awhile. I know this seller and he stocks an incredible array of vintage and hard to find scents. I remember when this oriental floral was launched, in 1986, because…
OPI Tickle My France-y is Beautifully Nude
OPI Tickle My France-y continues the neutrals theme. It is the perfect nude-pink manicure colour. When you want more than the ubiquitous sheer pink , that, while lovely and elegant, can be a bit of yawn after awhile. The main benefit to the sheer pink manicure besides looking clean and professional, is that it lasts…
Lancome Miel Glacé is a Beautiful Blush
I’m feeling the neutrals this week….maybe it’s the lack of sunshine. I find something so soothing about nudes, taupes, soft pinks & peaches, and of course, beige. Coco Chanel said “I take refuge in beige because it’s natural” and I can totally relate. The soft natural look is always flattering and it is true that as…
It’s Beautiful On The Dark Side of The Moon
Deborah Lippmann Dark Side Of The Moon is the perfect dark vampy purple burgundy. I adore it. This is a staple shade for any nail polish lover- everyone needs a dark vamp. DSOTM is so fabulously dark it becomes a neutral. It looks as fab with jeans as it does with a little black dress….
Smooth Beautiful Hair by Living Proof
My daughter Brigit and I have been officially using Living Proof No-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner exclusively for the past 3 weeks. Wow! Colour us impressed. I am still amazed at how when I comb out my wet hair I need no leave in conditioner spray or cream, and no smoothing serums. Seriously- this is a…
Chanel Particuliere is a Beautiful Shade of Grey
Continuing with my Chanel nail polish obsession I thought I would share this week’s manicure with you. Chanel Particuliere came out in the Spring 2010 collection and sold out in seconds. Lucky for me, I just happened to walk by a Chanel counter at a Sears, in June of last year. This was just weeks…
Gently Beautiful- Etro Heliotrope
Etro’s Heliotrope, with notes of heliotrope, sweet almond, vanilla, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, and petit grain, is the perfect scent to wear to when you want to feel cozy. It’s sweet without being cloying and candy-ish and warm without being redolent with spices. Heliotrope is slightly powdery but in a good way. The scent of almond…
Guerlain Jicky is…Beautiful
How does one review the oldest perfume still in production? Especially when you love it dearly. I will try…carefully and with respect. Created by Aime Guerlain in 1889 there are a couple stories that surround the inspiration of Jicky. One is that he created it for an English girlfriend he had- this sounds very romantic…
Glass Files for Beautiful Nails
If you aren’t using a glass file on your nails you should be. I have suffered from peeling and chipping fingernails forever- I’ve switched nail polish removers, used strengtheners and taken extra vitamins but nothing helped. I don’t like to keep them any longer than my finger tip and I keep them in a…
