Mint green from Dior Bird of Paradise summer 2013 collection. Remember this vibrant summer range of shades from Dior? Among them there were two sets of nail polish duos for hand and toe nails. Samba 001 has a mint shade in it and a pearly blue green. 002 Bahia has a hot pink and a dark turquoise, just like mint green it’s not crazy and neon, it’s calm and chic. Well, and this bright […]
I’m walking in between lush trees. It’s all green around me. Green leaves glistening with morning dew. All green. And pink. Pink flowers are swaying in the light breeze luxuriously, divine aroma fills the air. It’s so serene. I’m wearing a green dress with a wide flared skirt. The garden around me is old. Old and beautiful spreading its branches and stems and leaves all around. Taking up the space. The garden’s been here for […]

Has it ever happened to you, that you went shopping for a perfume, tried it in the store, loved it, then got back home and found out in a couple of hours or days, that you just can’t wear it? What were you even thinking in the store? Has your sense of smell gone nuts? Or have you? Anyway, I don’t know about you, but it sure does happen to me. So, I’ve been thinking […]
Yet another limited edition of a fun summer EDT from Escada. The box is very summery, very turquoise and very Escada. Just looking at the package I feel like I’m getting a boost of energy. Escada says we have wild berries for a top note, violet for a heart note and vanilla for a base note. I have to say, the only thing I feel in this fragrance is strawberry with just a glimpse of […]
There’s a whole new range of Rouge Coco shades out with new formula. Now I have to be honest here. I’m not a fan of the old formula. It just didn’t work on my lips, my lips got all dry with it. So, it’s the case, when I’m actually happy the formula has changed. The new shades are named in honour of Coco Chanel’s friends and loved ones. The shades are divided into five categories: […]
It’s Chinese New Year, and it makes me think back to what New Year and Christmas brought us this year in terms of holiday make up. And what the holiday season itself was like. Great memories, a lot of excitement, presents, all the hustle and bustle, my favourite sweets and very special make up collections. It’s a good way to recapture this Christmas and New Year feel. It makes me smile and feel warm and […]
Chanel Graphite 529 Green, grey and a little bit of blue, all in one. Pearly. Remember? Oh, sweet memories… 🙂 Graphite is in the middle. It’s from Chanel Le Vernis for Fall 2011 Time flies. It came with two other beautiful nail polish shades Quartz and Peridot. Quartz is coffee-and-milk pearly shade. So chic. So elegant. I like this coffee-and-milk shade in nail polish. Peridot is a gorgeous yellowish green. Also high pearly, like all […]
This is a mini make up collection, that’s an homage to the ever so famous Chanel handbag, probably, the first handbag that comes to mind, when we think Chanel. This is the handbag it’s all about. So, what do we have in this make up collection? Just an eyeshadow palette and one nail polish shade. It’s a truly mini collection 🙂 I have to say, that in real life the five eyeshadow shades look kind […]
