~ Pomp and Panache ~

I love soft, hydrated lips which look luscious and plump even without maximizing glosses.   HOURGLASS Nº 28 LIP TREATMENT OIL is one that fits the bill and is an awesome treat for your lil lips which do all the talking for you and face harsh environments!  HOURGLASS Nº 28 LIP TREATMENT OIL HOURGLASS Nº 28 LIP TREATMENT OIL is a great oil for conditioning dry, chapped lips.  The oil consists of 28 ingredients, hence the name.  The lip treatment oil has 14 essential oils, 10 lipid plant rich oils, 4 nourishing vitamins.  The oil is a well balanced product which will help in reducing the lines and wrinkles in the lips and improves the shape as well with continued use.  The product is vegan friendly too! The applicator is made of a 24K gold plated tip which is designed to prevent bacteria from forming around the tip and once applied on the lips a cool sensation is felt.  Enough product is dispensed on the lips and will increase the moisture levels within the lips.

Washing dishes with warm water, living in cold climates, and other daily elements of life lead to dry skin.  Clarins has a great hand and nail treatment cream, which hydrates and softens skin instantly.  CLARINS Hand and Nail Treatment Creme Jeunesse des Mains This is an off white colored slightly thick cream which has a pleasant smell.  It is almost refreshing and immediately soothes tired, stressed hands.  The cream moisturizes skin and also strengthens nails and with use, I have noticed my nails grow faster when I religiously apply the cream and don't stray towards other hand creams. Hands seem to age a bit slowly as sesame oil and Japanese mulberry are the key ingredients that contribute to the benefits of the hand cream.   This is a definitely holy grail product for me, a luxury item for sure.  I wouldn't mind investing about   SR110 for a 100ml tube which lasts me quite a while.  You only need a pea sized amount, which is sufficient for your hands

Whilst browsing the net, as you do, at the end of a long day; I was on Farfetch and was looking at the Dolce & Gabbana bags.  Skimming through the amazing collection of bags, the MISS SICILY in Cherry Red caught my eye!  I think it was love at first sight!! DOLCE & GABBANA Miss Sicily Bag (Cherry Red) The bag seems very spacious and somethng that I can see myself with for years to come!  However, i am still on the fence and question if I really will be able to carry off a red bag.  It would be a first because I usually play safe and buy neutral colors that I know I will use no matter what I decide to wear.  With this color, I am not so sure! I love the fact that the bag is of real leather and not a faux leather one like Stella McCartney's Fallabella bag.  I do like those, but I am just not that committed to drop so much money on a bag that I know isn't even leather!  I love real leahter bags whether they are smooth, pebbled, o

We all want our skin to be luminous and in good condition since we continue to age with every passing day.  There are several products available in the market that claim to do the very same ranging from drugstore brands to high-end luxury skincare brands.  I stumbled upon Caudalie's Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting in the very process of finding something that would help with some minor hyperpigmentation issues that I was facing from some old blemishes. CAUDALIE Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting I have used other products from Caudalie and have been pleasantly surprised by their performance.  They are quality products and you can be guaranteed to get your monies worth from the products you do decide to invest in.   I didn't expect anything less from this serum either.   The serum comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a dropper,  I personally don't like the dropper, as you have to pump it many times before you can get enough produ

Recently, I have been drawn to wearing bold colors on my lips.  If you know me, that is quite a statement in itself!  I usually go for nudes or subtle hints of color.  My current crush is a coral-peachy shade and I just keep trying new combinations.  The latest on my hit list which has blown my mind is Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in Dizzy Spell and NYX lipgloss in Apple Strudel. Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in Dizzy Spell & NYX lipgloss in Apple Strudel Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in Dizzy Spell is a pale coral which adds a slight sheen to the lips and makes them look plump.  The NYX lipgloss in Apple Strudel smells delicious and not to forget; it will make your pout will be a head turner!! Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in Dizzy Spell & NYX lipgloss in Apple Strudel Both of these, can definitely be worn on their own, but together they are the BOMB !!  I just love the pale coral shade which adds a hint of color to my pale skin and the gloss just adds t
