Well, the lazy hazy days of summer are behind us & it’s time to spiff up, leave the bronze shimmer at the beach & polish up your look. Fall 2012 makeup looks call for color on the eye, either strong & bold, or a soft wash of color on the lids or as liner. With…

I adore perfumes with orange blossom. There is a simplicity and innocence to that scent that evokes soap, babies and even sweet desserts. You can be transported to a romantic garden with intoxicating blossoms surrounding you. But therein lies the issue with this flower. We don’t always want to smell like sweet gentle babies in…

Norell Perfume…Crisp Green & Beautiful For Fall
My Norell extrait is magical…. I recently acquired a bottle of vintage Norell parfum/extrait from my generous perfumista friend Kevin.

Beautiful Lip of the Day: Stila Yumberry Crush with LipFusion
Eep my flyaway hairs are NOT growing out of my cheek. Honest. One of my fave lip stains is Stila Yumberry Crush. It has a sweet cherry popsicle colour that adds just enough colour to me look alive and healthy. I like to apply it, let it dry, then put a coat of the original…
The Soft Quiet Beauty of Givenchy ange ou démon le secret elixir
When sprayed on initially, I smell a slight hint of a bitter fruit, namely grapefruit, despite the fact that descriptions of this scent found online don’t mention it. After a few minutes, the scent really warms up. It becomes a soft and cozy scent that has a slight hint of something powdery. This unique powder…
YSL Volupté Sheer Candy Gloss is a Beautiful Balm, Too!
No2 Dewy Papaya second from right I’m a sucker for a lip balm. I am also a sucker for luxe packaging and pretty colours. But, I am also quite colour phobic and tend to wear sheer glosses or my lips but better non lippy lippies. I was perusing the YSL counter and thanks to most…
