Not too sure how the rings are made, the glass 'glob' over the nail polish base totally amplifies the glitter effect, making them look like some kind of galaxy starry night. I have paired it with a sort of matching manicure shade here (without the glitter bits obviously -- nail polish...

The YSL Glossy Stain - Gloss, or Stain, or More?? It feels like a stain, but looks like a gloss, and I think it also has the payoff of a cream lipstick. It's hard to explain. When applied, it has that "wet" feeling of applying a lipstain that sinks into your lips. But it soon settles ...

I was good and only picked two colors from the latest OPI Holland collection. I got a nude and a blue with some gold glassy looking specks --- super pretty, and I am very very happy with my purchase! (and let's face it, I also picked them based on their cheeky names) The light blue is...

is nothing new to many of you, if you are looking for 'discounted luxury' [think YSL, Prada, Miu Miu], then you are looking for it at the right place at Reebonz. Though I have never purchased anything there before (currently eyeing the extra large PS21 bag), I know that some of my col...
This past week, I had the chance to attend the press launch for Philosophy and I give an overview of the brand and some star products in this entry. I am pretty sure Philosophy is a brand that many of you are familiar with, if I recall, True Colors stocks a very very selected range of...

Legend has it that pearl necklaces must be worm regularly to maintain their unique aura. Without the skin, the dazzle of the pearl fades. And, without the power of the pearl, the skin loses its natural radiance. Guerlain researchers concentrated their work on its sacred relationship, ...
