Hi everyone. Liz "blog sloth" Chewy signing in.

Today, I am going to review the Shu Uemura OB Collection for Spring 2013. 

"Inspired by Japanese artist ob and the young creators of her generation comes a limited-edition collection that celebrates the rise of a new era in art. in-between reality and a dream beckons you into ob’s creative universe, a world that appears normal at first sight but is filled with fantasy and delight; a world that showcases the emerging vision of a generation of creators who came of age in a radical new digital world. Discover this magical landscape and create a new you – someone you’ve never imagined yourself to be – with a line-up of gorgeous shu uemura products intricately wrapped in the beauty of spring and the sensitivity of a new generation."

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??

Chanel Spring 2013 Printemps Precieux Makeup Collection Review

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I last posted something hasn't it?

The truth is, the past month has been a whirlwind of madness on a personal level as well as on a larger scale (regarding Malaysia's 13th general election). Lots of unresolved stress and negativities lingered in my mind and as a result, it just didn't feel quite right for me to be sitting around and talking about makeup. 

However, the world keep spinning, life goes on and I have a backlog of spring collections to review. First up, Chanel Spring 2013 Printemps Precieux Collection.

There are only several limited edition items in this collection so most of the items featured in this review should still be available for purchase.

MAC Archie's Girls Collection Review

MAC Archie's Girls. This collection has been out for so long in certain parts of the world that I think nearly everyone in Beauty-blogland would have read if not reviewed items from this collection.

However, since this collection was JUST released on my shores not too long ago, I decided to review it anyways because I am VERY impressed with most of the items I got.

I have not kept up with MAC collections for a long time because the sheer amount of collections that MAC keeps pumping out makes it absolutely impossible (and somewhat uninteresting). I think it was around this time last year that I reviewed a MAC collection (It was a review on the In Extra Dimension & Tres Cheek Collection- LINK). 

The MAC Archie's Girls Collection is a colossal one with lipsticks, lipglasses, eyeliners, pigments, eyeshadow palette, mascara, blush, face powder and nail lacquers inspired by the two main female characters in Archie's Comic- Betty and Veronica. There's also accessories in the form of brush kit, coin purse, mirror, makeup bag and a tote. 

Dior Cherie Bow Collection for Spring 2013 Review | Cherie Bow Palette in Powder Pink, 5 Couleurs Cherie Bow in Ballerina Pink, Diorblush Cherie Bow in Pink Happiness & Tender Coral, Dior Addict Lipstick in Charmante, Candide & Espiegle, Dior Vernis in Tutu, Gris Trianon & Rosy Bow

Pink has always been and always will be one of my favourite colours on earth. Hence you can probably guess that I was VERY VERY excited when I spotted the (very pink) Dior Cherie Bow Collection for Spring 2013. 

Oh, and I LOVE bows too. You can stick a bow onto almost anything and I will think that it's cute.

The above reason will pretty much explain why this happened.

I went a little crazy and bought the Cherie Bow palette in 001 Powder Pink, the 5 Couleurs Cherie Bow in 724 Ballerina Pink, the Diorblush Cherie Bow in 659 Tender Coral & 729 Pink Happiness, the Dior Addict Lipsticks in 437 Charmante, 457 Candide, 687 Espiegle and the Dior Vernis in 155 Tutu, 306 Gris Trianon & 355 Rosy Bow.

Lancome In Love Collection for Spring 2013 | Blush In Love & Baume In Love Review

Hi everyone *waves apologetically*. I am still here and the blog is still up and running!!! The weeks leading up to Lunar New Year were quite frantic and I totally decided to relax a little too much during the Lunar New Year celebration (which JUST officially ended by the way). So, that's why the blog has been slightly neglected... but it doesn't matter because here I am~~~~ 

DO YOU MISS ME? 

My comeback blog post will be on some products from a collection that I deem quite unexpected from Lancome. I mean, I have never actually paid any attention to Lancome's makeup releases because they just never seem to be too exciting. The In Love collection isn't anything revolutionary in terms of color scheme or formulas. However, in terms of packaging and the feel of this collection, it is definitely something interesting enough to pique my interest.

The Lancome In Love collection contains quite an array of products, there's single shadows, a shadow palette, eye khol liner pencil, mascara, finishing powder, bb cream, blushes, tinted lip balms and a dewy mist. I noticed that the products in the collection varies depending on your location, so you might want to have a look yourself HERE (Lancome USA) and HERE (Lancome Malaysia).  

Shu Uemura Blossom Dream Collection | Spring/Summer 2013

“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A moveable Feast

Hi everyone. Florals and pastels have to be some of my favourite things in spring. So.... I guess there's no surprise that Shu Uemura's Blossom Dream Collection is the first spring collection to be featured on the blog.

Out of the (rather big) collection, I purchased the Rainbow Feather S false eyelashes, 2 Unmask Palettes in pink and blue, 2 Glow On Blushes in P Soft Coral 332 & P Vivid Orange 551 and 2 Drawing Pencils in Pearly Gold & Pearly White.
