YSL Summer 2013 Collection | Marrakesh Sunset Palette & Terre Saharienne Bronzing Powder in 30 Terre Halee Review

Hi everyone. Have you ever made an impulse purchase just because something got sold out very quickly/ got so hyped up? I did exactly that when I saw the YSL Marrakesh Sunset Palette a while back when I went to Singapore for a meeting. I knew that this palette was sold out on the US website so when the SA brought the palette out saying it JUST came in, I had to get it right?

I also picked up the Terre Saharienne Bronzing Power in 30 Terre Halee because the SA recommended this particular shade for contouring. You should note that my rationality was partially knocked out of me due to makeup-induced excitement since I had so much fun swatching all the Glossy Stains and gorgeous YSL lipsticks.

So the gist of all this faff is, I bought the Marrakesh Sunset Palette & the Terre Saharienne Bronzing Powder in 30 Terre Halee, which I will review for you now.

Dior Bird of Paradise Collection for Summer 2013 Review

Hi everyone. If you could see me right now, you will probably think that a zombie has taken over my blog to write you this post. Reason being, I have been sick for over a week and the haze is NOT helping. Although I might not be able to breathe through my nose, take a deep breath or stop coughing (plus I sound like a man), I cannot neglect the blog any longer. 

Now, to help you get the zombie image out of your head, let's talk about something a lot more delightful: Dior Bird of Paradise Collection for Summer 2013.

To be honest, I haven't been overly excited about the Summer 2013 releases and the Dior Bird of Paradise Collection for Summer 2013 was the first one that caught my attention since I love peacocky colours (my hair is in fact ombre in a peacock inspired color at the moment!). 

I will be reviewing the Diorskin Nude Tan Paradise Duo Blush & Bronzing Powder in 001 Pink Glow, the 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in 374 Blue Lagoon, Dior Addict lipsticks in 431 On the Beach & 751 Exotique, the Dior Jelly Lip Pen in 636 Carioca & 656 Gaia as well as the Bird of Paradise Summer Nail Lacquer Duo in 001 Samba & 002 Bahia.

Shu Uemura's collaboration collections always hit my weak spot,  mainly because of the unique-once-off-gorgeous-and-super-cute-limited-edition packaging. Did I mention the work-of-the-art false eyelashes??
