Givenchy Sari Spring 2009 Face of the Day: Orange You Glad It’s Almost Spring?


Saturday, January 31st, 2009
Givenchy’s new Sari collection takes bold Bollywood glamor and blends it with sheer shades for spring. Yesterday, I wore some of Sari’s apricots and oranges, daydreaming about spring. I went for a look with bright lips and sheer eyes, and now I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear these colors with a white cotton dress, gold baubles and dark brown strappy sandals, ooh! Here’s a breakdown of the steps I took with my look… A subtle brown and orange eye with black eyeliner I star

Lip Lust - Lancome Electric Pink La Laque Fever


Saturday, January 31st, 2009
Lancome’s Electric Pink La Laque Fever ($26.00) is just such a stunning shade of hot fuchsia pink with a ridiculous amount of shimmer and glitter. It looks like shimmering water on your lips–well, if water was pink! This was by far the most stunning product that came out of Lancome’s Pink Irreverance Collection this Spring. It’s hard to miss it, and it’s even harder to pass it up.Available at:

Tónico para pieles grasas de Estee Lauder


Saturday, January 31st, 2009
Soy una auténtica devota de los llamados tónicos duales, o de doble fase, que llevan líquido y polvos para mezclar y crear un producto que permite controlar la grasa bastante bien. Aunque con los años la producción de grasa disminuye, y yo lo he notado bastante, sigo teniendo mis brillos y tengo comprobado que usar un tónico astringente de este tipo me ayuda bastante. El que estoy usando actualmente es Sparkling Clean de Estee Lauder, que es muy similar al Pure Clean de Lancome y de precio s

The Beauty Junkie’s gifts and micro haul


Saturday, January 31st, 2009
Some gifts from Lancôme and Maybelline…guess who checked out the loot before I did:The Tonique Clarté (blue bottle) has been discontinued and replaced with Tonique Radiance. Aside from the much raved eye makeup remover, Bi-Facil, this is one of my top picks from Lancôme. It’s a great refreshing and softening toner for normal to combination skin. I honestly don’t see or feel the difference between the two that makes the other inferior or superior over the other. Can’t wait to try the rest of the

It's an easy perfume to love, a warm and sensual, down-to-earth melange of rose, vanilla, woods (vetiver) and soft fruits (mandarin orange, although the effect in combination with the other notes to me is that of p

Inspired Spring look: purple and pink


Friday, January 30th, 2009
I recently bought the latest copy of Biteki. It came with a dvd and a promotiona magazine on pink -coloured goods from Hankyu, the department store. One look caught my attention was this: The model used a quad, assuming from the new Spring collection from Lancome... nothing out of the ordinary if I'm honest - a black, pink, lilac and iridescent/shimmer white. All those colours I probably have a dupe of. I noticed a lot of the collection for the spring season are pinks and lilacs, co

The Beauty Within: An Exclusive Interview with Kate Winslet


Friday, January 30th, 2009
When Kate Winslet rang me earlier today, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A bit of beauty banter? Of course. But the conversation that followed unveiled a genuine heart and sense of purpose below the striking exterior of this Lancome spokesmodel. Though still in her early 30s, Kate’s sage-like qualities resounded over the phone. With all the awards she’s been winning and is nominated for, you’d think she’d be a little less grounded, not so.
