LPB August 2010 Favourites

I am currently enjoy using Spiezia Organics facial cleanser, a handmade cleansing cream that contains a unique blend of herbs and oils that have decongesting and soothing properties.

To protect my skin from the harsh sun rays, I armed myself with Invisible Zinc tinted daywear. Laura Mercier mineral foundation primer is a must in summer, it keeps skin matte and smooth despite the humidity & heat.

Kiehl’s midnight recovery concentrate is a botanical version ( or a poor man choice ) of Guerlain’s midnight secret, in my opinion.

Nude smoothing body refiner should be the body product of the year, I had bulk purchased this after trying it. It’s a cellulite fighting product that works! I swear by its effectiveness, so far, I had only used it about once a day, for less than 2 weeks, but I had managed to slip into my skinny jeans again.

For a wash of colour, I am using Chanel pink teaser lipgloss, NARS daphne, rajasthan & tzarine eyeshadow, NARS douceur blush. Pink Teaser is a candy pink that instantly brightens up my lips while Douceur adds an incredibly healthy flush to my cheeks. Rajasthan & Tzarine, well, these fabulous hues define & add sparkles to my eyes.

NARS bronzer brush is probably the best powder brush ever made, it’s so versatile & I am so dependent on it to give me the best blending / finishing. Chanel’s inimitable intense mascara never fails to add a lovely sheen to my lashes.

I am hooked on Moroccanoil range, its glimmer shine spray is a life saver when humidity & frizziness strike. Despite the rather overpowering fragrance, glimmer shine spray tames & illuminates my maine like magic.

Guerlain’s Shalimar & Chanel’s No. 5 are my current favourites. I like to wear classy perfumes on a hot breezy summer day. I am notorious for my eccentricity when it comes to scent. I even used  Chanel No. 5 eau premiere to freshen my room & laundry! I am also busy experimenting with Chanel’s Bleu.

NARS Collection Fall 2010

I am loving this Fall Collection so far, I got myself Tzarine , Douceur & Daphne; I am very impressed.

Tzarine eyeshadow duo is a shimmering golden-toned almond & gunmetal grey with silver sheen. It’s stunning in terms of texture ( buttery soft ), colour, effect ( subtle/shimmer/smoky/sultry ) & wear. It makes me want to get Rajasthan as well.

I didn’t thought that I would get Daphne as it looks drastic & dramatic on the palette. Once I swatched it on my skin, it turns out to be a really nice shade. Its sheerness allows repeated application to build up the intensity of the hue. You could even use it wet. I find this too sheer to be used as an eyeliner even when applied wet, what a shame.

Oh, I also use it as a brow shader to give my brows a wash of violet tone.

Douceur powder blush suits my skin tone well, a perfect dusky pink that gives my complexion the most adorable flush. I have to stock up on this.

Nars Fall 2010 Collection

I will definitely pass the Daphne ( royal purple ) mono eyeshadow.

I prefer Tzarine ( candlelight  beige & golden grey ) eyeshadow duo, Palladium soft touch eye pencil, Douceur ( soft pink brown ) blush & Strawberry Fields ( strawberry purple ) lipgloss.
