Oh, goody! Another butterfly pretty duochrome polish! I’ve become a huge fan of colour shifting pretty polishes since I feel down the rabbit hole with Chanel Le Vernis Azuré. I feel like a magpie tracking pretty sparkly things and literally can’t stop staring at my nails. Essie’s Fall 2013 collection has many lovely tempting colours,…
I just LOVE getting to try a product that a) delivers what it promises and b) shows visible results I can actually quantify. Skinceuticals AOX + Eye Gel promises to fight fatigue, photoaging (caused by sun damage) and the appearance of puffiness and under-eye bags. It contains a magical cocktail of antioxidants to combat these issues:…
I am kind of obsessed with the Jennybird jewellery line. I have a lovely little stash that I will share here soon, but I just had to show you my new ring! It is a heavy silver coin with a fantastic etched image of Dionysus on a horse. He looks to be indulging in wine…
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…
My name is Jane and I am a lip balm addict. No, not addicted because I can’t live without it (pretty sure that is a beauty myth I should dispel in the future), I’m addicted because I love so many different ones and WANT ALL THE LIP BALMS. My new lip balm obsesh is kind…
I don’t wear a lot of make up, but I do enjoy owning a lot. I usually fall in love with something, wear it right away, or stash it and wear it when I rediscover it in my drawer. Or, I become obsessed with something I Must Own, get it, and use it every day…
These are just a few of the colours in my present rotation. I love how shades like OPI Eurso Euro (which is basically the exact colour of Bic Pen ink!) and Essie Turquoise & Caicos feel so easy to wear, despite the fact that they would have once been considered non traditional nail polish colours….
Marilyn Monroe is famously known for wearing Chanel No5, ‘What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.’ Maybe she had a deal with Chanel, who knows? Because it would seem that she also loved another perfume, and she loved it so much that she had her personal assistant purchase six bottles. That would…
In my house, beauty products fight for a position on my bedside table. The ones that win are often the ones that look good as well as perform well. Case in point – my new jar of Nivea Soft, which is one of those beauty products that is begging to be displayed. Especially this particular…
I have small hands, with small nails. More specifically, my “nail beds” are small. The nail bed is the area of skin under the nail, and if one has naturally long nail beds, their hands and nails look longer and elegant, even with short nails. Shorter nails are chic as well as practical, and don’t…
