SUQQU Summer 2014 Blend Color Eyeshadow EX-20 Natsubotan

#SUQQU #Summer2014 EX-20 and its dupes! #makeuptalk #eyeshadow #limitededition #bblogger

I am so excited I’m literally bouncing off the walls to be able to bring you today’s post!  SUQQU Blend Color Eyeshadow EX-20 Natsubotan was the highly-coveted Summer 2014 offering from the Japanese brand, and was sold out in Japan and Selfridges within hours of launch.  I had actually wanted to pass on this beauty, because I thought… well, pink and brown (but as it turns out, it’s not…

#Chanel Reflets d'Ete Le Vernis 615 Sweet Lilac #nailpolish #naillacquer #makeuptalk #bblogger

For Summer 2014, Chanel brings us 5 Les Vernis – 1 Eastern Light is a re-release from Spring 2013, the others are new and limited edition with the exception of Tutti Fruiti.  I will be reviewing these over the coming weeks, starting with Sweet Lilac (615).

I was a little apprehensive when I first laid eyes on Sweet Lilac… it looked a little too pale, too purple… I was worried it would make my…

YSL Couture Palette Nº11 Ballet Russes

#YSL Couture Palette Nº11 Ballet Russes review, swatches & #EOTD! #eyeshadow #makeup #bblogger

If there was one palette that best represents the spirit of the new YSL Beaute Couture Palettes, it is Nº 11 Ballet Russes.  The Ballets Russes was one of the most influential ballet companies of the 20th century due to its ground-breaking artistic collaborations, and was widely known as a leader of the avant-garde culture in Paris during its time.  The late Yves Saint Laurent was so inspired by…

Gleaming Mermaid Eyes & Alluring Sirens with MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection

Gleaming mermaids & Greek gods with #MAC Alluring Aquatics #eyeshadow #makeup #bblogger

There is something wrong when a brand veers far out from its usual, and suddenly delivers out-of-this-world colors with never-before-seen quality. Yes, something is very wrong with MAC this year. For Summer 2014, MAC brings us far out to the mythical seas filled with mermaids worshipping in the sun, sea sirens drawing us in with their captivating voices, beautiful loreleis with their flawless…

SUQQU Frame Fix Liquid Foundation N

#SUQQU Frame Fix Liquid #Foundation N #makeuptalk #bblogger

This is a very much delayed post as SUQQU had launched this Frame Fix Liquid Foundation N more than a year ago. The reason it decided to make an appearance now, is because I recently had somebody ask me about it, and I realized (to my horror) that I had only posted a review on the preceding formula (here) but not the latest one. And since no new formulation seems likely on the horizon, this…

My Favorite Shopping Destination... Makeup Tips & Tricks Included!

Let's go #shopping together! #Makeup #Tips & Tricks Included! #singapore #ion #bblogger

I always get asked by readers and Instagram followers where I get certain things from. Others assume beauty bloggers get sent all sorts of stuff for free all the time and whip up reviews from thin air (i.e. copy and paste)… this cannot be farther from the truth. I am first and foremost, a beauty addict (obsessed, maniac, crazy, etc), and spend untold lunch hours prowling the malls.  Even if all…

Bronzed Goddess with Chanel Reflets d'Ete Summer 2014 Illusion d'Ombre

Going gaga over #Chanel Reflets d'Ete #Summer2014 Illusion d'Ombre #makeuptalk #bblogger

Aahh Chanel, just as I thought I was swearing off your little jars of glittery preciousness (because I never use them fast enough and then they dry up in loneliness)… you turn out even more gorgeousness! I wasn’t even keeping an eye out for these, but sometimes life is like that isn’t it? You just don’t notice the moon up in the sky until a new one rises. But hopefully, this particular new moon…

Dior Manucure Transat Nail Polish 210 Yacht

#Dior Manucure #Transat #NailPolish 210 Yacht review & swatches #naillacquer #makeuptalk #bblogger

I was rather excited when I saw that Dior was releasing 3 sets of nail polishes & nail stickers for Summer 2014, as this is the first high-end brand to bring us nail stickers.  Together with last Fall’s Mystic Magnetics, Dior has a special place in my heart as the most adventurous and progressive with its nail formula.  The Manucure Transat Nail Polish & Couture Stickers Duo is available in 3…

Organic haircare just gets better

Loving these #organic #haircare from #Rahua & #Oribe! #health #beauty #wellness #bblogger

When I was living in the Bay area, I aspired to all things organic. It was a combination of living within walking distance of Whole Foods (notable because Americans in general don’t walk), and the prevailing Californian school of thought (happy weather makes happy people who are therefore committed to maintaining their happy living). But having dabbled in organic hair care for a bit, I was left…

Get that Elusive Curl with Guerlain Cils D'enfer Maxi Lash!

Get that Elusive Curl with #Guerlain Cils D'enfer Maxi Lash #Mascara! #makeuptalk #bblogger

There are some things that I don’t normally shop for at a high end counter, mascaras are one of them. Call it reverse snobbery, but the vast majority of high end brands (used to) cater to Caucasians with naturally longer and thinner lashes. My Asian genes gave me short and somewhat stumpy ones that defy even the best curlers. Moreover, with the tropical humidity out here in Singapore, combined…

Bouncing thoughts on Sulwhasoo's Evenfair Perfecting Cushion

Pondering the appeal of #BBcushions... #Sulwhasoo's Evenfair Perfecting Cushion #makeuptalk #bblogger

If you’re familiar with Asian cosmetics trends, then you’ll be more than familiar with BB cushions… possibly even more familiar than I am.  But for the rest of my readers who are asking – what’s that?! – or have dabbled a bit like me but never embraced it… then please join me in musing on this newfangled invention a little.

Just for the sake of discussion (and to masquerade as a product review),…

#YSL La #Laque Couture Bleu Celadon (50) review & swatches #summer2014 #nailpolish #naillacquer #makeuptalk

Last week I told you the tale of how I had my eyes on one YSL La Laque Couture from the Summer 2014 Bleus Lumiere collection, and ended up with both… and this week, I’m giving you a look at the one that had me at hello.

YSL La Laque Couture #50 Bleu Celadonis a light porcelain blue that has just a hint of green in it without turning too warm.  This is a cream polish that  I love, and was…
