Beauty Counter // 23

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012


This week I am wishing these products were on my beauty counter…

Rimmel London // Hot Gossip
With the wide brush and a hue to that is gossip worthy, what is there not to love? Gossip, gossip, hear all about it.
More information here.

Bottega Veneta // Murano Parfum
With base notes of tonika bean, vanilla and sandalwood, the Bottega Venta perfume is quite the memorable scent.
The leathery oriental chypre is packaged in a Murano bottle. This is hand-blown on the Island of Murano which is acclaimed for its glasswork and artisans. The contemporary flacon was designed by Bottega Veneta Creative Director, Tom Maier.
More information here.

Illamasqua // Ascend medium pencil in Debonair
A great product should not be limited to use on only one feature…
The Illamasqua pencil helps create drama and encourage individuality as used all over skin.

Beauty Counter // 22

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012


This winter treat your skin (the largest organ) to a new moisturizing experience with these two products.

Tom Ford // Jasmin Rouge

The allure of Ford’s beauty products is the packaging is as considered as the products themselves. His Jasmin Rouge perfume would look magnificent on any beauty counter.
More information here.

CHANEL // ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour

Channel the femme fatale in this lustrous lipstick.
More information here.

Daphne Guinness x MAC // Nail lacquer in Bluebood

The contrast of the name of this shade and the actual shade lend an irony to a hue that is all parts Daphne.

Beauty Counter // 21

Friday, November 25th, 2011


This winter treat your skin (the largest organ) to a new moisturizing experience with these two products.

Weleda // Skin Food

Sustainable beauty brand, Weleda is beloved. Their natural products boast ingredients grown in Weleda farms.

As its name suggests, this product feeds your skin. Soothing Rosemary, antiseptic organic Pansy and anti-inflammatory calendula and Biodynamic come together the super nourishing moisturizer by Weleda.

More information here.

Bodhi // Ylang-Ylang Incensa Moisturizer

The Bodhi brand as founded by Elijah Choo, has become a firm stay on my personal beauty counter top. This love affair began since its launch which I had the pleasure of attending. The vision of the brand which sees the perfect mix of luxury and the all natural, is in my opinion the making of the perfect beauty brand.

Choo’s Ylang-Ylang Incensa moisturizer is free of all the harsh chemicals (no parabens, no petrochemicals, no sulphates, no synthetic colours, fragrances or animal ingredients) that your body does not need. In their place there is the stimulating aphrodisiac properties of Ylang-Ylang, the sebum regulatory and skin toning of Patchouli, Neroli, Peppercorn and Honeysuckle.

Beauty Counter // 20

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011



1. Tom Ford Nail Lacquer
I am devoted to Tom Ford’s approach to beauty. Two of his perfumes; Black Orchid and more recently Violet Blonde hold court on my beauty counter. Such is the case with his lip color collection. His foray into a full nail lacquer range is no less glamorous. High pigmented color meets his signature luxurious packaging. At present it is apparently only available in the states (on pre-order).
More information here.

2. Rachel Roy eye-palette
Rachel Roy debuts an eye-palette that will take your eye makeup from day into night. For day shades include; Fire, Balance, Galaxy, Energy, and Dark Magic (as seen on left side of palette). On the right hand side are the nighttime shades; Infinite, Twilight, Evil Eye, Celestial, and Empyrean. This would make a wonderful holiday gift. It launches on rachelroy.com and select Macy’s on November 1st.
More information here.

3. Marc Jacobs Splash Ginger eau de toilette
Douse me in this whenever you like. Spicy, warm, citrus infused and invigorating, it has notes of Ginger, coriander, cognac oil, bourbon, granadilla, rhubarb, sandalwood and musk.
More information here.
