Canvas Stress Relieving Set
Natural plant oils are my favourite skincare items. Because they penetrate the skin easily, are effective, and the quality ones are free of nasty chemicals. So when I spotted these at Maven, I had to try them. This set is unique as it comes with tiny 1ml bottles of organic and pure essential oils to be added into the larger 50ml bottles of pure sweet...

Shu Uemura Tint in Balm
Shu Uemura’s lipsticks hold a special place in my beauty room, amongst my big collection of lipsticks (a few hundred, maybe a thousand, and counting…) Typically Japanese, the lipsticks are balm-like moisturising, semi-glossy, easy-to-wear and sheer (so it’s ok if you can’t apply with precision, just clean up and blend with fingertips for a sexy just-ate-a-popsicle look), and come in all flattering shades for...

Skin Inc’s new serums
These coloured dropper bottles, each filled with little pastel-coloured globules suspended in a clear liquid. Slowly but surely, these bottles – that come in technicolor shades – are becoming iconic and making waves in the international market. What Skin Inc offers is something I have not seen in any other beauty label: skincare that is simple, effective, and customised to one’s skin condition. There...

Chloe Fleur de Parfum
Chloe parfums are fail-safe. Catching a whiff of this range of ultra-feminine, powdery, full-bodied white floral scents is always a pleasure. In the world of mass-produced brand-name perfumes, Chloe always holds its own. Its signature floral-soapiness is distinct. This new olfactory cocktail – Chloe Fleur de Parfum – is a fresher, more floral (the notes evoke pink roses maybe) youthful, and brighter version of...

Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist
Make Up For Ever is one of my all-time favourite make-up labels. Its high-performance products always deliver. They are made for well, stage performances, and women who need their cosmetics to last through the day. I haven’t found another brand that can really rival MUFE’s ULTRA HD range which was created for actors, news anchors, beauty bloggers, selfie-lovers so they can look good infront...

The Barbadian 28-year-old has already dabbled in cosmetics from time to time, with her popular limited edition lines with...
