perfume whisperer
From the TFK website: TFK, The Fragrance Kitchen, is the latest chapter in the ongoing retail legend that began in 2005 by Sheikh Majed Al-Sabah. The Kuwaiti based fragrance house was borne of childhood memories and sensory memories that became associated with his beloved grandmother. Fragrance can be a translation of memories and Sheikh Majed…
I finally found the OPI Mariah Carey Collection and while I did love most of them, Anti-Bleak was the stand out for me. I know I did not have a purple-y purple like this in my collection and coincidentally I have been looking for a purple. I still want a more grape-y purple cream, but…
Ugh there is nothing like a cold Canadian winter. The temps dip below zero, the furnace cranks up, and everything becomes dry, crinkly and papery. I actually dry my laundry by draping it all over the place just to get extra moisture in the air. Showers and baths feel good because they are, well, water,…
I am a lover of stains for lips and cheeks. They are a weightless and transparent way to add natural looking colour to your complexion. One of my favourites is the amazing Benefit Benetint – the famous rose scented stain that started it all. But, that colour of red-rose isn’t always what I want to…
I’ve always loved Klorane. It’s an elegant French line of botanical hair products, whose philosophy is a based on a passion for plants and nature. Created in the South of France in 1966 by the pharmacist Pierre Fabre and one of the largest privately owned pharmaceutical companies in France. All cosmetics are designed with the…
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…
Ok why did it take me so long to try this stuff? Hydraluron, made by Indeed Labs, is a gel-serum designed to boost the performance of any moisturizer. It is to be used under your creams/lotions/serums and is basically full of hyaluronic acid goodness, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, keeps it there, making…
If you read this blog regularly you know I love soft clean musk perfumes. I particularly love musk oils – they melt into the skin and become part of your chemistry, and just smell clean and warm, but also subtly sexy. I love Egyptian musks especially, they are the cleanest of the musks, and have…
I’ve written about my love for Guerlain Jicky before, but that was the eau de toilette. If you know Guerlain perfumes, you will know that each formulation- the parfum/extrait, the eau de parfum and the eau de toilette – of each fragrance is different. Different notes and ingredients shine in each formulation, and they smell…
Well, another year has come and gone, and we’re all still here. While I lie in bed sipping pink champagne tonight, I wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year….
