If you don’t own the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Can a girl have too many makeup brushes?

The answer, as it turns out, is Yes.

This is especially so, when you aren’t a makeup artist. What excuse do you have for owning 20 different foundation brushes, for example? I found none. So, I stopped cold turkey.

I stopped buying makeup brushes, and I stopped looking. I had enough, as my sizeable collection screamed at me from their storage drawers.

One day a year or so ago however, I chanced upon the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, and something about it made me buy it.

And I have not regretted it since! 😀

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Getting ready for the Holidays with Laura Mercier

December 5, 2019 Paris B 3 Comments

The year-end festive period is a love-it or hate-it time for many.

On the one hand, who doesn’t love winding down with the year, as people slow down, take time off to spend with loved ones, enjoy the school holidays with their kids, and revel in the Christmas and New Year festivities.

On the other hand, just think of the stress all that brings! LOL! 😀

Well, Laura Mercier has a few Holiday releases to create a little oasis of calm and encourage that little bit of me-time, to help you cope with the stress of the year-end holidays and festivities 🙂

This Holiday season, let your festive finery be bedecked with Les Ornaments de Chanel

I’d been looking forward to Chanel’s 2019 Holiday makeup collection for a while. Ever since I saw teaser images of the collection a few months ago, I’d been enamoured.

Happily, I was not disappointed with the actual product! 😀

The key item that had me eagerly awaiting the Les Ornaments de Chanel collection was the eyeshadow quad. There was something about the intricate embossing of the pattern that reminded me of the buttons on Chanel’s iconic tweed jackets.

I was generously gifted a selection of products from the Les Ornaments de Chanel collection so I’ll tell you what I think is worth the splurge (and what you could skip over 😉 )

Dream a Kimono Dream in the Cle de Peau Beaute Rêve de Kimono Holiday 2019 collection

Every year as the Holidays (Christmas) collections are released, there will be brands that stand out. This year, I predict that Cle de Peau Beaute will be that brand, because the Cle de Peau Rêve de Kimono (Kimono Dream) collection is a STUNNER!

Cle de Peau Beaute has always released beautiful pieces in their Holiday collection. Last year, they drew inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, with a whimsical design.

This year, they are going the traditional route, with a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL design and packaging of a small, but compact collection that will make you say “TAKE ALL MY MONEY!” 😀
