perfume whisperer
Oh, the siren call of the perfume counter. I just love to wander the department store cosmetic floor, playing with the newest perfume and beauty releases. I take my time, sniff this, try that, and often fall in love. The new, the old, the classic and the modern. I have tried two lately that are calling…
Ahhh, oh how I love a gorgeous green perfume. Not the traditionally “pretty” perfumes of today that might have a touch of leaves or grassy greenery. Not a gentle herbal cologne, either. I mean a mossy, rich Green Chypre. The kind of green that mixes the gorgeous elegant grown up lady perfumes of the late…
Estée Lauder has decided to shake up their reputation as make up for mothers and grandmothers. I’ve never really seen it that way, as they have always made gorgeous colour collections that are on-point and on trend. Their perfumes are among the best on the market and have been for years. From the classic beauties…
Oh Chanel. Their Spring 2015 makeup has a nail polish trio that sang to me. It sang “BUY MEEEEE”! With the gorgeous plum pink fuschia Desiro, the frosty silvery sea foam green Paradiso and the dusty mauve-y purple Tenderly, these were all must-haves for me. How pretty is Chanel Tenderly? It’s in my Currently Loving…
Oh, great. Another hormonal break out. UGH! Just when I think all I need to do is manage my ageing skin, another zit pops up. Ugh. Hormonal acne is difficult to control, as it rarely influenced by what you put ON the skin. I have found it is exacerbated by certain skincare products, like silicones…
Chanel’s Summer 2014 makeup collection, Reflets d’Ete, is chock full of gorgeous brights. Bright and vivid, and almost reminiscent of the eighties. Especially the purple mascara, Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara Violet Touch. There was an orange mascara as well, which I passed on. Hard to imagine orange mascara being flattering on anyone other than a Chanel model….
Tresemme has been around for ages, and is a trusted drugstore brand. It’s not expensive, but is also gentle on hair, and I know many women who swear by their products. So I was keen to try their latest offering, 7 Day Keratin Smooth. It joins the popular trend of using protein in hair products…
I have a foot thing. I want them to be pretty and/or groomed. That’s all. It’s not hard to do, and the rest of the world will thank you. There is no need to be uber high maintenace – trust me, for a beauty obsessive, I am probably the laziest around. It’s not about the…
I recently rewatched one of my favourite movies, The Bridges of Madison County. I love it not just for the heartbreaking love and longing between Francesca (Meryl Streep, positively radiant and perfect as always) and Richard (the manly and gallant Clint Eastwood). And, as a perfume addict, I am a constant watcher for perfume mentions…
Planning to wear your hair wavy? Here is my lazy girl method: shampoo in the evening, and style in the morning. After shampooing, and using my Goody Quik Style comb and brush to remove excess water, I apply my leave-in conditioner and styling products. For wave, I am using ICON Protein Gel and ICON India…
