Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Carina #06


This autumn season is the season of new high end liquid lipstick launches - Guerlain, Shiseido and MUFE have all released liquid lipsticks.  It was a nice surprise to see Stila with their own version with the Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick.

This range has 10 shades and includes a few nude neutral shades but the vibrant bright shades definitely dominate.  I don't associate Stila with bright vibrant lip colours (I tend to think of very natural barely there lip glazes when I think Stila) so I found this quite refreshing.

left to right: bellisima, dolce, patina, carina, tesoro, beso, fiery, fiore, aria and amore

Guerlain Pucci Terra Azzurra Bronzing Powder & Blush


Before I bought this palette, I had second thoughts about it. Do I really need another bronzer (since I'm not a fan of bronzer)? Do I really need another blush (I have enough to use a different one everyday for a month at least)? Is any bronzer/blush really worth £51?

Yes this bronzer blush is really quite expensive. But it is also very big - in fact one could probably use is as a mini discus. I caved in (for research purposes) since I had £15 worth of reward points at Debenhams (btw I used to snub Debenhams but their Beauty Club reward card is excellent when they have bonus point events!).

Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in Calypso #337


Usually I avoid Chanel Glossimers because they tend to be not very pigmented and all the different shades actually end up looking the same - just glossy & shimmery.  On top of that I'm more of a lipstick girl than lipgloss - I don't like the stickiness and hate getting my hair stuck on my lips.

However, once I swatched Calypso, I wanted to buy it straight away.

Nails of the day #16 - Chanel Le Vernis in Distraction #549


The long awaited Roses Ultimes de Chanel collection finally launched in London.  Out of the four nail polishes, I picked up Distraction and Frisson (which will be reviewed later this week).  I skipped Attraction (silver white) and Tentation (magenta) because these kind of colours don't look good against my skin.  Not being a fan of lip gloss, I skipped all the glossimers.

Chanel Joues Contraste in Fleur de Lotus #69


Joues Contraste in Fleur de Lotus is part of the 2012 Le Blanc Fleur de Lotus makeup collection and is an Asia exclusive.  The two feature products, the blush and the green Illusion d'Ombre in Riviere, immediately reminded me of traditional Chinese paintings of Lotus flowers - intense coral (or pink) with a light wash of green.

Suqqu Nuancing Cheeks EX-03 Akanemizu Blush Spring 2012


Out of the three Suqqu spring collection blushes, EX-03 is actually my favourite. While it is not as eye catching in the palette as EX-02, I find it much more wearable and pigmented.

EX-03 茜水 Akanemizu consists of a rose quartz pink and a peachy coral blossom shade with shimmer.

Suqqu Spring 2012 Nuancing Cheeks Blushes Overview


This is just a quick post to show all the colours of the Suqqu Spring 2012 Nuancing Cheeks blushes.  I will be reviewing each of them in separate posts to follow.

This is my first foray into the Suqqu スック brand (pronounced suk-ku [sook-ku], not su-queue).  I steered clear of their blushes previously as I didn't like having one small blush and one small highlighter in a compact together.  However, once I saw images of these blushes a few months ago, I knew I had to have all of them.  The colours are perfect for me!

Lipstick of the day #12 - Chanel Rouge Allure in Hyde Park


Chanel Rouge Allure in Hyde Park is a Harrods exclusive as part of their Chanel World promotion.  There are three Rouge Allures in this Knightsbridge collection - Hyde Park, Kensington (fuchsia pink, almost Barbie-ish) and Belgravia (just pink).


The Rouge Allure packaging is my favourite out of Chanel's lineup.  The lipstick case is probably the most innovative bar Guerlain's Rouge G - you click the gold base and out comes the lipstick from the sleek black case.  Genius.
