JO MALONE: PEONY and BLUSH SUEDE COLOGNE

The Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Cologne has been on my wishlist since its release. Every time I want to purchase it, something will come up and I will buy something else. Anyway, I had few rubbish days and I was quiet in low spirit so I was thinking of cheering my self up and the cologne finally became mine. It did and still cheer me up to be quiet honest. I am also quiet obsessed with peonies as of the moment and really. Peonies are so pretty that who wouldn't love them.

FOREO LUNA MiNi

Foreo Luna Mini is one of the latest finds that just makes a big difference to my skin. Skincare is such a difficult subject to talk about and it is also the least topic to draw attentions. I find it quiet strange to be honest. I am a big fan and believer that skincare can make a big difference to how you apply your make-up. I don't have the most flawless face but I am quite sure that my pores are not clogged. As a great believer of Clarisonic, it is such a great battle to try something else. I don't want to compare the two. Although both are facial cleansers, for me, both are completely different in structure.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SUNSCREEN

The past few days had been pretty warm and sunny. Almost everyone are in good spirit and enjoying the glorious sunshine. During hotter days, I think because of the excitement, most of us often forget about sunscreen which is really bad. Sunscreen saves us from a lot of trouble from nasty sunburn to skin cancer. Research also suggests that applying sunscreen will prevent premature wrinkling. To be honest, I am also quiet bad with sunscreen but last year I had a very painful sunburn that I learnt my lesson the hard way.

SEPHORA & CULT BEAUTY HAUL

Watching videos, reading blogs, and seeing my twitter feed overflowing with Sephora hauls did not do any good to my craving to do online shopping in Sephora. I also had some horrible days the past few weeks that I totally think that I somehow deserve to shop. Along with my Sephora order, I also did an eeny weeny purchased in Cult Beauty.

JUMPiNG TO THE TARTE BANDWAGON

I have been coveting the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush for such a long time. Recently, Tarte Cosmetics launches in QVC but with a minimal range. The gorgeous Laura has kindly sent me a package with two Tarte blushes (Kindly check her blog as it is awesome). When I received it, I am just overjoyed. So here are my two pennies on the infamous Tarte blushes even though I know that the blogosphere is swamp with its reviews.

CLARiNS LiP BALM CRAYONS

The Clarins Lip Balm Crayons* are part of the Colours of Brazil Collection. Most brands nowadays are jumping to the lip crayons bandwagon and I am quiet curious as of what Clarins has to offer. Clarins always have beautiful collections and I think their latest one is spot on for summer. Brazil always makes me think of beautiful beaches and gorgeous women so a collection based on Brazil is something to look forward to. The football fanatic in me also cannot forget that the FiFA World Cup 2014 will also be in Brazil.

DEGUSTATiON iN PARiS

It is a known fact that Paris is such a beautiful place. First and foremost, the infamous Eiffel Tower is there. Paris has also a lot of historic places and beautiful garden scattered throughout the citu. Parisians are also well known for being chic. Aside from these reasons, Paris also houses scrumptious dishes in which the food porn in me cannot resist.

ESSiE’S FOUR SHADES OF NUDE

I recently talked about the pink shades of Essie and for the second instalment for my Essie Collection; I will be talking about my favourite nude shades from Essie. I think nude nail polishes are good all year rounder. Nude nail polishes are just perfect for work wear and to pair into colourful outfits to tone it down. When I am also not sure of what shade of nail polish to use, I always end up using nude shades as it is just fool proof.

NEW DiSCOVERY: ADERMA

A-derma is a new French pharmacy skincare range. The brand aims to produce skincare products that helps women with delicate, irritated and damaged skin. The products have plant-based ingredients to help soothes sensitive skin. This brand really excites me as I am on a hunt for a brand that soothes my skin and is priced reasonably.

ZOEVA BRUSHES

Zoeva brushes are like the heaven-sent brushes for me. I am not going to lie, I have plenty of brushes already. I have loads or Real Technique ones, some MAC brushes, and a brush set from Ebay. Though I have plenty, I am looking for a brush set that have every thing that I need so that all will look similar. Luckily for me, Zoeva has kindly sent me their Luxe Prime Set.

CURRENTLY LOViNG: SPRiNG FOOTWEAR

Hot weather is starting to creep up and everyone is just so excited for spring and summer. As I was browsing the stores and online shops, gorgeous foot wears are everywhere. I’ve got two foot wears that I think are perfect for sunny days and to show our gorgeously painted toe nails. I just think that I have no self control over these pretty things though I don't consider the following foot wears as pretty but these are more on a chic side.

MY LOVE for LiP BALMS

I always suffer from dry lips no matter how much I hydrate it. That is one of the reasons why matte lip wears and I are not compatible. All year round, lip balms are my bestfriend or any lip wear that offers hydration and soothes my lips. I tried to avoid lip balms in the pot as I find it somewhat messy with me. Lip balms in lipstick form are my favourites. I've tried and tested a lot of lip balms and I think through the years and I like to think that I've found the best lip balms in the market.

SPRiNG and SUMMER BASES

I am not a big fan of full coverage foundations and I always stick to light to medium coverage. Funnily enough, in a world where perfection is sought, I want my imperfect skin to show somehow. I don't want my face to look so flawless. I want some of my imperfections and my real skin to be exposed somehow. During colder months, I tend to use the medium coverage foundations. On hotter days, tinted moisturisers, bb and cc creams are my bestfriends. I have three favourite light bases which I think are perfect so Spring and Summer and will suit to every budget.

THE EDiT: SOAP and GLORY

Who doesn't love a bit of Soap and Glory? I am a big fan of the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush range as well as their No Cloggs Allowed Mask. Nowadays, the brand is doing really great on their cosmetic lines as well. I like that the packaging of their cosmetics reflects the fun-vibe of Soap and Glory products. The packaging are cheeky and vintage-y at the same time. So here are my latest discoveries of Soap and Glory.

The Weekend Post: The Coffee and The Brunch

When I was too lazy to cook and I am just too agitated to shop, having a brunch outside is always the best option for me. I am just too excited to shop for my spring wardrobe that preparing breakfast is the last thing on my mind. So last Saturday consists of a lovely brunch, a lovelier coffee and a successful shopping trip.

DiPTYQUE CLEANSiNG BALM

When Diptyque released their skincare range, it received a mixed review. Some are good and some are not. Apparently, there as few misses and their are also hits in their products. The Diptyque Cleansing Balm received good reviews and some awesome recommendations. As a big fan of Diptyque, I really want to try their skincare line but I don't want to really waste my money. We all know that Diptyque products doesn't really come cheap. So after some research, I jumped the bandwagon and got the cleansing balm.
