Marc Jacobs Lolita | Review

Hello Angels

Last Year Marc Jacob launched his beauty line. And one product, that instantly created a LOT of Buzzz was their Lolita Palette. Personally am not a huge eye shadow person. I love my Urban Decay Naked Palette 2, and that fulfills all my needs.

I was recently invited to a Sephora event and this babe was given to us in our goody bag. How generous! What struck me instantly was the sleek, GORGEOUS packaging. I mean look at that. Luxury in all form and matter. Now looking beyond the splendid packaging, the actual product.

The shades are basic but i love each one of them (except for the 3rd one from right). The shades are well pigmented and smooth velvety in texture. Err...in fact, i prefer the texture slightly over UD Naked. Blends in effortlessly and stays put. The Glitters are not too glittery. So wearable on a day to day basis. 

I've been using the dark brown shade a LOT lately. I apply the light beige (2nd from left) all over my lid, then top it with the bronzy shimmer (1st from right). Apply the dark brown to outer corner for a smoky look. And finish it off by applying the gold shimmer (2nd from right) to inner corner of my eyes.

3 matte shade and 4 glitters. I can see myself using this palette exhaustively. One good quality palette that houses all basic, but most commonly loved shades. If your thinking of investing in a palette and like to keep it simple, i would recommend Lolita. But if you own several already, i won't advise splurging. 

Own a Lolita? Which is your favorite palette otherwise? 

Cost $59.

Peony & Blush Suede | Jo Malone

Hello Angels

Am a massive sucker for perfumes. Good quality perfumes. But this wasn't always the case for me. During my teens, i was the kind who regarded spending over $30 on perfumes a total waste of money. I rather spend them on clothes!

As you may have guessed, that's history. Wearing a beautiful perfume is as important as using the right lipstick/blush for me now. A disclaimer, this is my first attempt to review a perfume.  My love or more of an addiction to Jo Malone's Peony & Blush Suede compels me.

Introduce to Jo Malone brand? No? Thank You. Moving on to the subject scent then. Peony & Blush suede has got every note right. Not too sweet nor too floral. I don't like too overpowering fragrances. This one is subtle yet lasts loooonng. Perfect for Summer. The fragrance simply makes me happy and lifts my spirits (if you know what i mean...). 

A combination of Peony, Jasmine, red apple, Rose and Suede. I absolutely love this Cologne and it is soon becoming my signature scent. 

Yes, these are quite expensive but i justify the same by its lasting power and Ah-Mazing scent. Plus this bottle will last me over 2 months. Which is you favorite Jo Malone Perfume. Next on my list is Blossom. 

I'll be visiting UK this month and if these sell cheaper in London, am definitely stocking! Do try them out next time you stop at a Jo Malone counter or Boutique,
