Dolce & Gabbana The Foundation Perfect Finish Foundation Powder Compact 70 Natural & 75 Bisque Review



I've been a major Dolce & Gabbana fan for the longest time. In my teenage years, I sported items from the now discontinued D&G clothing range and loved the cleanness yet musky scent of their Feminine perfume (also discontinued I think). Nowadays, I've moved onto more mature things such as suits and of course, their iconic body hugging dresses. I was really glad that they came out with a makeup line but at the same time, I was very suspicious of the quality. I held back for a while and waited for reputable reviews since there were no counters near where I lived at the time of the launch. I finally purchased the powder foundation compact while I was searching for a MAC Studio Fix Powder alternative.

Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 41 Fascination Review



It's been a while since I shared any eye makeup updates. Following the great Mystere (43) purchase, I decided to expand my collection of Chanel quads and got something that is on the grey and blue side. Blues and greys make a great combination and it's something I wear on a regular basis (no vibrant blues) other than browns and taupes.

Christian Dior Miss Dior Moisturizing Body Milk Review: New Favorite!



It's been a while since I've updated my body care routine. Given my obsession of keeping the skin on my body moisturized, I went through a whole bunch of lotions balms and whatnots last winter. I still have to do reviews on a couplet that I believe are worth discussing but since April, this Dior body milk has been my absolute favorite!

Pore Cleansing Must Haves!



I’ve been meaning to do a post on this for a while but somehow never realty got around to it. On average, I clean my pores twice a week. If my skin is a bit oiler or I see more build up than usual, I’ll clean it three to four times a week. My nose area is constantly struggling with white heads. Cleaning it one day will result in build-up a few days later. I simply routinely cleanse the area to prevent my pores from being enlarged. It’s also good to remove any substances that are blocking your pores before it develops into a pimple.

Eve Lom Mineral Foundation Brush Review: Sigma F80 Comparison


My all purpose Sigma F80 was really falling apart so I got my hands on the Eve Lom Mineral FOundation Brush when I bought their wonderful mineral foundation (see review here) from Barney's. These densely packed synthetic brushes are a must have in my everyday routine. They provide quick application and can allow me to easily build up flawless coverage.

Charlotte Tilbury The Retoucher Conceal and Treat Stick Concealer in #2 Fair Review


Ever since the release of YSL Touche Eclat, there has been dozens of new releases in similar packaging. I finally made the leap and purchased The Retoucher. This is actually rather different from the Touche Eclat in terms of what it does. A common misconception with the original is that people believe it's a concealer, but it's actually a highlighter that hides imperfections using light with minor pigmentation coverage. The Retoucher actually has sufficient pigmentation to cover imperfections and also reflect light in a manner that gives you a healthy glow.
