You’d probably notice by now that I am quite a fan of Revlon lip products. I have loved the Lip Butters as well as their Kissable Balm Stains, so it was only natural that I got rather excited when they came out with the Ultimate Suede Lipsticks.

Revlon claims that the Ultimate Suede Lipstick provides all-day colour while giving lips a velvety, suede finish. The lip complex formulation includes a blend of shea butter, Vitamin E and aloe to add moisture to the lips. Now it all sounds really good, doesn’t it?

I love Spring! It’s a shame I do not live in a seasonal country because this time of the year is usually lovely, with pretty blossoms in bloom and a feeling of love and happiness in the air. Nowadays, I only get to enjoy the spring season when I travel or through makeup collections.

This month, my fellow Blush Fiends and I decided on showcasing our favourite springtime blush. For those who are not familiar, the #blushfiend group is made up of a bunch of ladies who are really into blush. I couldn’t participate in the first collaboration back in January and thought I’d better not miss out again.

My pick for the perfect spring blush is Chanel’s Joues Constraste in Ultra Rose. This blush was from an Asia-exclusive release late last year and is part of their permanent collection, so you should be able to find it at most local Chanel counters.

There is a real difficulty for me to turn down a new Chanel makeup offering, especially from their Spring collections. There’s always something about these collections that make my heart thump rather wildly. This time around, I fell in love with the Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Merveille.

The packaging of the Rouge Allure is absolute luxury. The sleek black tube is very solid and the golden cap at the end with the double C’s embossed adds an understated class that Chanel is known for.

I honestly did not mean to drop off the face of the planet for such a long time but since Christmas last year, my time has been occupied with work, family commitments, more festivities (Chinese New Year) and life in general. Every weekend I tell myself to write something but things got in the way and I have to admit I did lose my blogging mojo for a while.

When I first saw the promotional pictures popping up here and there, I knew that the Chanel Harmonie du Soir will find its way home to me. Can I just say that this eyeshadow quad is absolutely beautiful? Just beautiful!

The Harmonie du Soir palette is in the same Regard Signe design and formula as Top Kapi, which was released last year. At that time, I did not gravitate towards Top Kapi as it was a gold and brown palette, which didn’t strike me as particularly interesting. And I’m kicking myself because I am soooooo into golds lately.
