Estee Lauder Violet Underground Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hi everyone. Today's post will be short and sweet. I have for you the Estee Lauder Violet Underground Eyeshadow Palette from the Violet Underground for Fall 2012 Collection. A very late review for a fall item but the quality of this palette is so out-of-this-world-amazing that I feel obliged to share it with my lovely readers.

Dior Golden Jungle Collection Review

Hi everyone. As mentioned in my previous post, here's the review on Dior Golden Jungle Collection for fall/ autumn. 

I would have gotten this post up earlier but something very disastrous happened to my blog over the weekend. I was formatting some folders on my phone and not knowing that my blog and phone are somehow linked to each other, I lost every single photo that I posted on my blog as a result. I then spent hours and hours trying to locate all the photos on my many hard disks and re-uploaded everything one by one. When I managed to re-upload everything, I noticed that many of my blog posts links are broken(that includes links on the blog and on search engines). It was an absolute nightmare.

Let's just hope that nothing of that magnitude will happen again. 

Anyways, sorry for going off topic yet again. Let's proceed with the review.

This is quite a huge fall collection with two Golden Jungle Palettes, four 3 Couleurs Glow, one Dior Vernis Duo, two Dior Vernis, two Dior Blush, one 5 Couleurs Palette, one 5 Couleurs Designer Palette, three Rouge Dior, four Rouge Serum and four Dior Addict Lipsticks (Full list on Dior's website: link). As the name of the collection implies, this collection mainly consists of golden tones as well as hues inspired by the jungle, such as earthy brown tones and various green shades.

I purchased the 5 Couleurs Designer Palette in 308 Khaki Design, 5 Couleurs Palette in 774 Golden Savannah, Rouge Dior Rouge Serum in 430 Gold Beige Serum and the Golden Jungle Crocodile Effects Nails Dior Vernis Duo.

Les Merveilleuses by Ladurée Autumn 2012 Cream Cheek Base Review

Hi everyone. I was planning to write about the Dior Golden Jungle collection for this post but I fell in love with the Les Merveilleuses by Ladurée Fall 2012 Cream Cheek Base in #101 Vermillion (I know, the name is so long) that I have to let it jump the chewylove blogpost queue.

Famous for their macarons as well as delectable cakes and pastries, Ladurée has since ventured into the cosmetics market with the launch of Les Merveilleuses by Ladurée in early 2012. The brand's products includes base makeup, cheek color, lip colour, eye shadows, brow palette, mascara and accessories (source).

I think that Ladurée cosmetics are only available in Japan at the moment but the internet tells me that Europe will get it in fall 2012 and US will eventually get it as well (source). My best friend got it for me when she went to Japan for holiday. If you are reading this post, I LOVE YOU!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVELY GIFT.

Ok, enough of me talking. Now the product.

I am sure a lot of you already know that I have a weakness for pretty packaging. Look at this box, isn't it beautiful. If you think this is gorgeous, wait until you see the actual product.

Shu Uemura Chocolat-Donna Collection for Autumn/Winter 2012 (&1st Giveaway Winner Announcement)

Hi everyone. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by and that it's nearing the end of August now. In some parts of the world, autumn/fall is fast approaching. Autumn/fall is actually my favourite season in terms of weather and feel but I am not a very big fan of autumn/ fall makeup collections. Out of all the releases thus far, few have caught my attention and the Shu Uemura Chocolat-Donna collection is one of it.

A makeup collection inspired by chocolates. How can I possibly resist?
