I’m a sucker for a pretty sheer polish, especially if it has an opalescent shimmer. I happened to have bare nails when I went by the Guerlain counter recently and was able to try their limited edition nail polish, Stardust, for their Spring 2014 Meteorites Blossom collection. I was immediately sold. What can I say…

What’s You Secret To Waking Up Glowing? A “Midnight Secret”?
There are so many cult beauty products out there that sometimes I say “I simply must try ________”, and then sadly forget about it. Because, you know, all of the new products.

Pretty Powdery Perfumes
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.

Shall We See What I Have In My Purse Today?
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…
