Coming in April 2011

LPB is going to write about something outside his ” comfort zone “, such as ……

1) Humour / Thought of the day

2) Interior Decoration & Feng Shui

3) Sacred Rituals

4) Design & Technology

So, I am going for world domination & cult mentoring, watch out !

Don’t worry ! Makeup warfare with gunpowder ( loose, pressed, compact etc. ), lipstick missile, mascara bayonet & fragrance grenade will still be heavily featured.

Alternative Beaute

While you may think that exaggerated gothic makeup is great for Halloween ……

Extreme tattoo is quite a fashion sensation – Only applies if you’re a male model.

Who said life is fair ? Equalities among the sexes ?

Find me an honest politician or a democratic dictator, then we’ll discuss the issues mentioned.

Inspiration 49

Leather & suede outfits with earthy beige makeup – Sheer sophistication !

Burberry eyeshadow such as Trench, Rosewood, Khaki & Taupe Brown are lovely neutrals that should be in everyones makeup bag.

Clarins Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel

Essential skin care for radiant young skin. This foaming cleansing gel delivers perfect cleansing to ensure healthy, luminous skin.

The creamy foam eliminates impurities and make-up and protects even the most delicate skin. Its gentle cleansing base also neutralises the effects of hard water. Skin is cleansed and fresh-looking to ensure a bright, luminous complexion.

This glycerin enriched cleanser contains saponaria extract to gently eliminate impurities & moringa extract to help neutralise the effects of pollution. It aims to double up as a makeup remover & spot-minimiser ( It contains a minute amount of salicylic acid, after parfum on the ingredients list, so as other plant extracts ).

I like this superbly foamy cleanser; It comes in a 75ml plastic tube ( handy for travel ) and is dirt cheap ( consider this is from Clarins ). Daily energizer cleansing gel has a fruity floral aroma, foams up densely & rinsed off easily; Leaving my skin soft, smooth and yes, refreshed & energised.

A great daily cleanser for all skin types & is suitable for light make up removal. If you like cleansing with water, you will like this.

Tiffany Etoile Ring

LPB’s 2011 resolution – MUST GET TIFFANY DIAMOND RING.

This Etoile ring with diamonds is going to get me eating dust for the next few months…… ( Pardon me if I couldn’t afford to try out those expensive skin creams & exclusive, limited edition palettes anymore )

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Bath Collection

Neroli Portofino, originally created by Tom Ford for his exclusive Private Blend fragrance collection.

This luxury scent includes fresh and sparkling aromatic citruses notes ( bergamot & mandarin orange ) blended with intense floral notes of orange blossom. Neroli Portofino also has a very ” warm ” and tempting side thanks to the sensuous essences of amber and vanilla, thus making this fragrance crisp, effervescent yet sultry & elegant.

Thank God, Neroli Portofino isn’t only a luxury eau de parfum any more ! Tom Ford had in fact launched a new collection of body products for its NP fans; This new bath collection is the most exquisite one could hope for. It includes bath soap (£25), body oil (£45) & etc.

This spring 2011 must have  range is previewing at Selfridges from 28 March.

I am so picking up this bottle of body oil. Such a great way to tan myself under the Barbados sun ( Okay, the travel plan may not be true, but this collection is utterly luxurious )

Grandiose Print

Majestic prints in bold hues for Spring 2011.

Perfect match with wild pink & bold orange lips.

Mary Katrantzou is definitely a name worth remembering, such a talented designer. LPB predicts that MK will be HUGE.

Try tamer lilacs & berries if you’re less adventurous.

 

Bridal

For those of you blushing & blooming brides……

 

Every destiny has its departure point, have a pleasant journey !
