Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs in Les Fumés #06


I had a hard time choosing between the Les Fumés and Les Perles Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs.  I finally decided on Les Fumés since it has more neutral shades - I find I reach for these a lot more.

Nails of the day #6 - Chanel Le Vernis in Rose Caché


In addition to Pirate, I bought Rose Caché #521 Le Vernis from the Rouge Allure Velvet collection.  Rose Caché may look a bit boring in the bottle but I love it.

Nails Inc. Glitter Gradient


Nails Inc. asked everyone who attended their recent event to create a nail design with Nails Inc polishes.  I'm not the best with nail art (not ambidextrous enough) so I wanted to create an easy simple glitter look that wasn't too OTT.  I don't usually wear glitter polishes but I was drawn to these three Nails Inc. colours.

Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer


I have ummm-ed and ahhh-ed over Hourglass products for a while but couldn't decide whether it was worth the investment.  I finally decided to try their Film Noir Lash Lacquer since I am a mascara fiend.  I love Bambi lashes without using false lashes, so volumising mascaras are my best friend.

Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish


I was invited to a Nails Inc. bloggers evening for the launch of the new Magnetic Polishes.  I was very curious to try it as I have heard about them but have never actually tried them.


The premise is that you hold a magnet over your just applied, still wet nail polish.  The magnet attracts the metallic particles in the nail polish, and therefore creates a wavy pattern on the surface.

Lipstick of the day #14 - Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in La Ravissante #32


Rouge Allure Velvet is the latest range of lipsticks from Chanel.  Described as luminous matte lip colour enriched mother of pearl particles, they impart a matte finish but the colour does not appear flat.

PS1


One of each please.

My other love is bags.  I have a PS1 in boring black but would love another in a bright colour.  One day.

Daul Kim

I found this video whilst tidying my files on my MacBook.

Daul was one of my favourite models. Loved her style, quirky personality and bone structure.  She wasn't conventionally beautiful but her face just drew you in.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Haul






I bought these last Friday but haven't been able to photograph them properly yet.

I have worn La Ravissante a few times now and I find the colour really lovely - a very wearable peach for me.  I've also experimented with Rose Caché together with the Top Coat Velvet tonight - I love the finish.  Reviews to follow soon (once I get wifi sorted out at my new place).
