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.

Chanel Autumn 2010 Make Up Collection

I have Enigma, Paradoxal, Rose Dentelle & Pink Teaser.

Enigma Eyeshadow Quad is absolutely fabulous, even by blending just 2 shades ( lighter versus darker ), my eyes are instantly defined & brightened. The shimmery perle ( yes, it’s subtly glistening  & pearlised ) texture of this quad is sophisticated, saturating lids with pigmentation effortlessly, blends smoothly and can even be used wet for intense impact.

Guess Paradoxal needs no introduction / recommendation – just get it before it’s too late.

Rouge Coco Rose Dentelle is a muted pink with a mauve undertone that is perfect for daily wear; It makes my lips appear rosier & less dull looking. Isn’t that adorable?

Glossimer Pink Teaser is a serious lipgloss; It’s highly shiny & rather glittery. This intensely pigmented fuchsia pink gloss with golden/coral shimmers has a rather semi opaque finish. Great for days when you  can’t be bothered with lipstick.

I am still wondering about Rose Temptation powder blush.
