The first time I heard of the Priti NYC natural nail polishes, the least I can say is that I was listening very carefully. Nail polish and natural, in fact, are unusual words to hear in the same sentence, let alone to describe the same product… It reminded me of Kure Bazaar, a French nail polish brand […]
Ask Bonnie #1: Exfoliant, scrub, peeling… what are they?

10 key questions for an effective skincare routine
Inundated with information about skincare? Feeling it’s impossible to find an effective skincare routine… We often hear anything and everything about the skin: ‘the right gestures’, the miracle skincare products promising a ‘complete transformation of your skin’…
In this post, I want to focus on questions that I have often been asked in my professional life.
I worked for a cosmetics brand as a trainer for spas and beauticians for almost 10 years. I have often met regular customers in pharmacies, department stores, beauty counters while I was training the sales personnel…
Bombarded with so many cosmetics adverts, magazine articles and of course beauty blogs, why wouldn’t you feel overwhelmed. It’s so tempting to buy the latest skincare product from [fill in the blank] because you so want to believe in miracles. And of course at the end, more often than not, you feel disappointed.
Nars Night Series eyeliners, my review
There is a first for everything, apparently. I wouldn’t have thought I would one day be disappointed by a NARS product, but that’s what happened to me with the new Night Series eyeliners*… These four pencil eyeliners came out in the same time as the NARS Fall collection and they’re an addition to the permanent collection. These […]

If you don’t know her, here is Charlotte Tilbury: (on the left in the photo above) (she posed with a girlfriend […]

I mean in a real, proper store, not only online. Because, especially for makeup, nothing beats […]
Diorskin Star foundation by Dior, my review
The new Diorskin Star foundation by Dior, is it the foundation of the stars? Or the star of foundations? I’ve read a lot of things about this new Diorskin Star foundation launched by Dior in September, mostly general interpretations of its concept. For me, this foundation is more akin to enhancing the beauty of movie stars, more specifically ‘lightening’. It’s […]
Wild Argan Oil by The Body Shop, my review
Oooh, great, a new bath and body range from The Body Shop with Wild Argan Oil…
That’s exactly what I thought when I walked past the window of The Body Shop store in the Mall a couple of weeks ago.
I must say that as always, the packaging was more than attractive, and very Instagram-friendly. It’s just like liquid gold. Or honey. Well, it’s just beautiful, that’s all!
