Beauty fiends like myself anxiously await the holiday season to see what kinds of gorgeousness the beauty brands will unleash upon us. Each season, the brands seem to one-up themselves by showcasing ever-showy baubles, palettes and trinkets – each one...
I fondly remember visits to my grandmother's house as a child, and especially exploring her bathroom, with all its pretty, pastel-coloured, rose-scented guest soaps. Of course, they'd never be used (they were too pretty for that), and would just...
I love a pretty package, and this Hair Powder from New York City-based Lulu Organics, which looks like something you'd find in a Victorian ladies' dressing room, had me at hello. But it's not just a pretty package: shake a little of this delightfully...
After years of blacklisting, I'm kind of on a soap kick lately. Perhaps it's body wash fatigue (there's seriously too much selection out there these days) or that my last soap experience was such a (surprisingly) good one, but I've rediscovered...

We all know that doing one's makeup in public is an etiquette no-no, but to be able to whip out this stunning compact while lounging at a luxe resto, I'm willing to make an exception. Like a chic it-bag you want to show off, The Illuminator All...
