New HG Fragrance - Jo Malone Spring 2013 Limited Edition

Sometimes you just know what is the right scent for you, when you can't stop sniffing it.

After owning so many bottles of designer fragrances, I have came to realized, that this limited Jo Malone perfume is the only perfume that I actually bought a backup after 1 week of using it. That is how much I love this stuff...

This particular scent that I fell in love is Elderflower & Gooseberry Cologne, with a sweet yet subtle scent that is not overwhelming. One thing I noticed about this fragrance is that it wears differently on everybody. It smells so warm, girly, sweet and feminine. However, on some of my friends, it smelled fresh and clean.

This is a MUST HAVE!

Review: Marc Jacob's Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation

Deng Deng Deng! I placed an order through Sephora.ca about a month ago, as I was very interested in trying Marc Jacob's new makeup line. I pretty much made the order when the line was first launched, so I had no idea which will be hits or misses. The one product I wanted to try out was the powder foundation - Let's talk about the packaging... Like every other reviewers, Marc Jacob definitely did a great job in designing his products. He differentiated his products by rounding the 4 edges on the side, while keeping the traditional black sleek case trend. He also got a little silver push button at the side, which adds a little bit of classiness to the look. Once the compact is opened, you can see a huge mirror on the lid, and because of this, the weight of the foundation is relatively heavier compared to other compact foundations. Now on to the product - The color I got is 300 Beige (I am normally a shade 30 in Dior/Chanel foundations), which is

ANASTASIA - Lavish Eye Shadow Palette (swatches)

This eye-shadow palette is awesome! It comes with 10 different shades that are mostly warm toned. I love the staying power of these eye shadows (especially the darker ones). The palette also comes with - Dual ended eye shadow brush (meh) - Twist-up Waterproof eye liner (I love this eyeliner! It's pigmented and last all day. The only problem I have with this is that I see tiny smudges around the lower lash line after a day of wear) - Brow pencil (hint of brown, but color does not last all day) - Brow tweezers The lighter ones (cream/ballet/orange soda) are very sheer, but the darker colors are very pigmented.

Pandora Haul!!!

If you haven't heard of the Pandora 2013 March promotion, then start researching on it! The promotion for this Spring season is to spend over $150CAD and receive a free silver bracelet (value $75). To be completely honest, I was never really a fan of Pandora bracelets. I have always thought their design are dupe-able, same silver quality as any that you can find at a typical jewellery boutique. But sometimes, peer pressure get to you...(this sounds like an excuse LOL). And the only reason why I caved in to the bandwagon is that I want to own a bracelet, that I can collect special charms that can reflect some memorable time in my life. Or something that I can find special/relevant to me. One thing people need to keep in mind is that, the pictures in the Pandora website is a bit misleading. The photos of each charms look much bigger and shinier, but in real life, they are much smaller. Another thing to remember is that, the silver do oxidize after you wear for a while.
