…but you can relax ‘cos it was made out of paper: They’re running a competition at the mo where all you have to do is SMS the code behind your ‘Sparkle On’ label to 45118 to find out if you’re the winner of an instant prize.

I’m sick of explaining it to people over and over who overhear a snippet of what I’m saying and then shriek ‘OMFG! You had LIPOSUCTION?!! Why […]
Read MoreA few weeks back, INGLOT invited a bunch of ‘beauties’ to their Canal Walk store to give us a sneak preview of a few of the goodies they’ll be launching as the year rolls out. The real highlight, however, was these guys: Oh! And the part when they told us we could each pick out […]

Read MoreYou’ve got to give it to Guerlain; they know how to make iconic, timeless scents. Still, while there’s no doubt that Shalimar and Mitsouko are veritable masterpieces, they’re not for me. In my mind, they’re for an older, more sophisticated woman. Thus, I was very interested in sniffing the fragrance house’s newest scent, Le Petit Robe Noire, intended […]
Read MoreI love Clarins’ treatment fragrances, particularly Eau Dynamisante. I’ve been wearing it since I was fifteen and would always make a point of dousing myself in it before I hit the beach. (It’s alcohol-free so you can, it’s not going to cause sun spots when it schmingles with the sun’s dangerous UV rays.) As a result, […]

Read MoreI have a bit of a tumultuous relationship with Thierry Mugler’s Angel. It’s one of those divisive fragrances that you either love or hate and, upon first sniff, I totally fell into the hater category. Years went by and I ended up being given a fresher, lighter, ‘summer version’ of the scent and decided I […]
