Pomellato 67 Artemisia Eau de Toilette, Pictures & Review

Last June the Italian jewellery house Pomellato (not affiliated, no affiliated links in this post) announced to launch their new fragrance along with their Collection 67. You can see the full catalogue of products (watch & accessories) here. Different from their classical collection which focuses on gold, 67, the silver collection of Pomellato, are aimed for younger customers and for those who are in search for more casual accessories.

On the beauty end of things, Pomellato entered the fragrance world just recently by their Nudo trio last year. When it was announced that they are now releasing another fragrance, Artemisia, it caught my attention, especially because of the nose behind, Annick Menardo. You surely know her from her successful creations such as Dior Bois D'argent or Dior Hypnotic Poison.

By the way this time I decided for a male model under the fragrance, thought as an eye candy, what do you think? Would you like more in the future? *wink wink*

Chanel Rêve D'Orient Quadra Eye Shadow, Review, Swatch & FOTD

A few weeks ago Chanel quietly released the palette which was used by make-up artist Tom Pecheux during Dubai Cruise show earlier this year. The palette first popped at Chanel Boutique in NYC (57th street), and I have seen the first photos at Instagram from @lepanties. The stars, copper and gold screamed my name. I am hearing it will be released also in Europe with a bit of delay (I have heard that it will be early next year).

Guerlain Gloss D'Enfer #901 L'Oiseau De Feu, Colour Lacquer #400 Coque D'Or from A Night At The Opera Holiday 2014 Collection, Swatch, Review & Comparison

I can't believe it is almost Christmas! This year I had a relatively late holiday during September and when I came back there was no time to enjoy the Fall collections. On to golds and reds we shall go. Today I have two products to share with you from Guerlain's holiday collection, Un Soir a L'Opera, or in other words A Night At The Opera. The collection is inspired by Russian Ballet by all its glamour.

Narciso Rodriguez Narciso Eau de Parfum, Photos & Review

"How sensuous the perfume of her smile
announcing her sweet presence in the air
Inspiring the racing of an old poet’s heart
as it is worn in a young woman’s hair."

Chanel Illusion d'Ombre #847 Envol for Plumes Précieuses Holiday 2014 Collection, Review, Swatch and Comparison

I am about to conclude my reviews of Chanel's Holiday Collection, Plumes Précieuses. You can my thoughts on the eye shadow palette, highlighter and blush. Today I would like to introduce a product from the peach themed part of the collection, together with the Joues Contraste #180 Caresse and Rouge Allure #227 in Volage. I have also picked Volage and Stylo Yeux in Or Blanc from this collection, which I will try to review too. At the moment I have some other reviews lined up though, such as Tom Ford and Guerlain, which I am very excited to share.

Chanel Joues Contraste #180 Caresse for Plumes Précieuses Holiday 2014 Collection, Review, Swatch, Comparison & FOTD

Today I would like to write about another piece I picked up from Chanel's Holiday Collection, Joues Contraste #180 in Caresse. Chanel has one of my favorite blush formulas, I like both their cream blushes and powder blushes but I prefer powder blush in general. I am fond of Chanel's baked or non-baked formula alike. They apply and blend beautifully and last very long on my cheeks. Therefore I was intrigued by Caresse and decided to try it out.

Dior Swatches of all lipsticks, lip glosses and eye shadow quads from Golden Shock Collection for Holiday 2014

Dior has just released the holiday collection, Golden Shock. The collection has the vintage packaging that brand is using for the last three years. I have picked up the nail polishes for my collection and swatched and compared them for you in my last post. Today I would like to share the swatches I took at the counter for you since it haven't seen many lipstick swatches online, I think it may help.

Diorific Vernis #001 Golden Shock, #022 Mirror, #241 Gold Equinoxe, #762 Shock and #990 Smoky from Dior Golden Shock Holiday 2014 Collection, Review, Swatch & Comparison

Dior Holiday Collection Golden Shock is now available in Germany and I believe it started popping up at other countries as well. I went to the counter to play with the items and take a few photos. Since I got a few unpleasant experience with my blind 5 Couleurs orders in terms of linear frosty finish (Femme-Fleur) and panda eye creating fall out (Pied-de-Poule), I don't trust buying the new eye shadow formula from Dior without touching it. So my intention was to swatch and take a few photos for you but instead ended up being ditched by a very unfriendly SA at the counter in Breuninger, but... That is a story for the swatch post. 

Today I would like to show you the nail polishes from Golden Shock Collection which really shocked me, why? Keep reading...

Chanel Camélia de Plumes Highlighting Powder for Plumes Précieuses Holiday 2014 Collection, Swatch, Review, Comparison & FOTD

It must be the destiny of beauty bloggers to wear fall lipsticks in summer, put on pastel springy eye shadows in winter and walk around with golden sparkles in fall. As Chanel Camélia de Plumes goes, I am not complaining a bit, because it is the most gorgeous highlighter for each season which I would like to share with you today.

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Chic Eau de Parfum, Photos & Review

“Most people assume that a muse is a creature of perfect beauty, poise and grace. 
Like the creatures from Greek mythology. 
They're wrong. 

In fact, there should be a marked absence of perfection in a muse
--a gaping hole between what she is and what she might be. 

The ideal muse is a woman whose rough edges and contradictions drive you to fill in the blanks of her character. 
She is the irritant to your creativity. A remarkable possibility, waiting to be formed.” 

by Kathleen Tessaro from her book "The Perfume Collector"

These days I am trying to catch a deadline and nevertheless keep up with the blog. The things which lift my spirit are nail polishes and perfumes since I sometimes skip make-up in the mornings. Last week I have enjoyed the new Dior nail polishes which were released with their Dior Baumes in the beginning of September. I would like to share some swatches and my thoughts with you.

Gucci Magnetic Color Shadow Quad #020 Tuscan Storm for Fall 2014, Swatch, Review & FOTD

As I have already mentioned previously, I am trying my best to post as an important deadline for my work is getting closer. I believe for a week or two the posts might be a little less frequent. I might be a little unresponsive as the comments go, so apologies in advance.

Here is a quick review, swatch & FOTD of one of my latest acquisitions, Gucci Magnetic Color Shadow Quad #020 Tuscan Storm. I have presented #40 Autumn Fire a few weeks ago when the line just launched. I was happy about the quality so decided to order one from their online boutique.

New Fragrance of Burberry, My Burberry Eau de Parfum, Photos & Review

“Last night the rain spoke to me
slowly, saying, 
what joy to come falling out of the brisk cloud, 
to be happy again in a new way on the earth! 

That’s what it said as it dropped, 
smelling of iron, 
and vanished like a dream of the ocean
into the branches and the grass below."

Mary Oliver

Yves Saint Laurent Couture Palette 5 Couleurs #11 Ballets Russes Swatches, Review & FOTD

You might have noticed that I am rather silent at social media and behind answering the comments. As the work is getting the best of me together with a nasty cold which I caught earlier this week, I am trying my best to show existence so please bare with me. I am hoping to make a return in a weeks time. I can't wait since I have so many beautiful new fragrances and make-up products to share with you. I am kicking myself not to be able to smell properly and my puffy eyes and nose are not that great for carrying makeup but luckily I had shot a few FOTDs before it all began. Today it is about a very special palette, Yves Saint Laurent Couture Palette 5 Couleurs #11 Ballets Russes.
