perfume whisperer
I love powdery scents – they can be cooling in the summer, and cozy in cooler weather. Of all my favourite scents and perfumes, the ones that evoke a clean powdery feeling are among my most worn. I’ve written about powdery scents here, but I have some more to recommend. Guerlain L’Heure Bleu is one…
Nothing like a collection of Chanel’s favourite nail polishes to get a Chanel Addict going. I’ve had & loved Chanel Le Vernis Particuliere since it wss releasedI fell in love with the classic red of Chanel le Vernis Pirate, and had to seriously question my status as a beauty expert when I realized I did not…
Well, the weather is getting cooler, so I’ve been busting out my favourite cool weather things. Shoes with closed toes (eek), long sleeved things, sweaters, and more importantly, my darker vampy nail polishes and my beloved vintage leather jacket. So of course, out came Chanel Vertigo, from last year, and it just seemed right for…
Hot steamy weather calls for different scents than you might want to wear when the weather is cold. Soft, tropical and lush florals, fruity delights, herbal “pick me ups” and “out of the shower fresh” perfumes can take the place of the heavier, richer and sweeter more resinous perfumes we might bust out on cooler…
Warning: pedicure/toes photo ahead! I’ve recently heard from people who are freaked out by foot photos, so I thought I would offer a warning. Although if you’re here it’s likely too late. Ooops. I recently became obsessed with some Chanel Le Vernis shades from their summer 2012 collection. That would be the hot pink Tentation,…
Good heavens, Chanel! How do you make such magical and dreamy shimmers? Taboo (Le Vernis 583) is beyond gorgeous and I am seriously in love with this divine colour. It looks like a vampy deep red, but it’s flecked with purple, red and blue and just kind of incredible in any light. Application is a…
I often fall in love with beauty prodz that I think are sooo pretty (usually limited editions) and want to buy them immediately. But these likely things I would buy and then never use. So I exercise restraint and wait for the urge to pass, which it usually does. But, the newest nail polish from…
I regularly change up the contents of the make up bag in my purse. I am still a huge fan of the leather pouches from American Apparel Carry All Pouch – they feel substantial and well made. I like the ones with nice heavy gold zippers, they add a luxe feel that you don’t get…
Whoa. Just, whoa. Vertigo is a gorgeous Chanel nail polish in every possible way. Colour – the perfect not quite black but not grey so lets call it “light black”, with the famous Chanel hidden shimmer. And the shimmer is a soft purple! Again, the shimmer is hidden, is doesn’t really show on the nails…
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…
