The Nars Provocateur Makeup Look

I think it’s pretty safe to say I’ve got my bases covered when it comes to nude makeup and strangely enough I’ve found myself completely mesmerised by the new Nars Provocateur Eye Palette. It is not really that surprising given the fact two of the shades a reds without a hint of orange to the red and I have always been partial to a teal eyeshadow. It also felt appropriate to pair this with a red lip but the reddest I’ll go these days is a burnt nude.

Birthday Makeup Tutorial

It was my birthday yesterday and that calls for Moët & Chandon, Ninotchka and general relaxation mode. How fun but then what did you expect on a Monday? Last year, I went to Reichstag and a guy almost crushed me with a door so it was kind of nicer this time round.

First Impressions: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush and Bronzer

Remember that cheeky midnight Space NK haul I mentioned earlier. Well, here are my first impressions. I don’t think I’ll be doing any makeup shopping in the next months but oh, am I happy with these two purchases. First of all, you got to hand it to Hourglass for the idea of swirling up their powders and it’s not just pretty to look at.

The Products I Wish Weren’t Limited Edition

So let’s consider the worst case beauty scenario. You find the perfect lip colour but before you snap it, it’s out stock and never coming back again. Seasonal collections can be fun but also frustrating. You always regret the things you didn’t buy the most, right?

Making a Chanel Exception

Apparently I’m trying to pull off one week blogging/one week not blogging. I think the winter might really be getting to me this year. And it hasn’t even started snowing yet… I really should get more organised but easier said than done…

If you get past that, let’s talk Chanel Exception. Chanel. Well, they always come out with the most beautiful products and this is no exception. I’m trying to get into other brands but Chanel is still the primary. Admittedly, I’m not the biggest fan of their Holiday collection but I couldn’t resist the new lip and nail stand. A Rouge Allure Gloss is coming but that’s another post.
