Lancome L'Absolu Nu luscious lip shades

I am so excited about the new lipstick line from Lancome labeled L'Absolu Nu! There are 12 shades as seen after the jump.

I have tested several shades and am a sucker for almost all of them. I have two at home that I reviewing today. Shades 201 and 302 which are 2nd and 5th in the first line.

The lipsticks use the same technology as the Teint Miracle foundation. They are sheer, natural tones that are light reflective.

Shade 302: Noticeably a pop of pink color. You can build up the color from faint pink to luscious magenta.

Shade 201: Blends almost perfectly into my natural lip color. I am quite fair skinned and it matches quite lovely.

The lipsticks go on like a lipgloss.. definitely not opaque.

I love the striking packaging and delicate floral design.

Trésor Midnight Rose avec Emma Watson

Hi ladies, I've had the chance to test out the yet to be released Tresor Midnight Rose perfume thanks to MINDFOOD event Girls Night Out at the Langham Hotel.

Tresor Midnight Rose is a bright, fruity, youthful scent. It initially packs quite a sweet punch when spritzed on the skin but fades away to gentle, light musky notes after just a couple of hours. Emma Watson launched the new perfume in Paris this past July.

Top notes: raspberry rose absolute
Heart: jasmine, peony, currant buds, pink pepper
Base: Virginian cedar, musk and vanilla

Expect to see it on shelves at the end of this month in NZ.

Espirit - redefined

To me, Espirit is the kind of store where there are some basics, everything is slightly feminine and there are no stand out pieces to take home.. Well, think again! Espirit is revamping and pulling out all the stops to get your attention.. starting with using Giselle Bundchen.
