Forks and Brushes

In light of the continuing pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong (coded as the “Umbrella Revolution”), as a Hong Konger (despite I live in London), I don’t feel right to carry on posting the usual content on this blog. Instead I am taking a short break from blogging this week to send my thoughts and support to Hong Kong.

My skin was in trouble with blemishes lately… I guess it’s down to the transitional weather – one week it was summer, then it suddenly got much cooler, then it warmed up again! When the weather couldn’t make up its mind, so as my skin… In the past I tried the Origins Super Spot Remover which every beauty blogger raves about… However, it didn’t agree with my skin. My skin is not that sensitive, but the next morning, it left a red mark around the blemish after I dotted on the solution, and the spot didn’t seem to have gone down anyway…

The three items on my Forever Repurchase List are:

On our weekly fix to Oxford street, +Cynthy Chui  & I popped into Boots to try out No7 Match Made Lipstick Service . 

The beauty box crowd has just got better, with the new contestant to join the UK - My Little Box from Paris! My Little Box is hugely popular in France. When I first saw their website, I instantly felt in the love with the oh-so-romantic very cute French illustration. Each month has a different theme – My Little Weekend Box, My Little Sunset Box, My Little Party Box… They have some of the top beauty brands as their partners , By Terry, Essie, Diptyque, Marc Jacobs, Sephora, just to name a few. With their success in Paris, they decided to launch it in the UK at the beginning of this month. And I have just received my first box in the post! ( *SPOILERS ALERT* – Stop right here if you are waiting for your box ) However, if you want to compare notes, then please read on…

If you have missed the Nars “And God Created Woman” palette at the end of last year , now is your chance to get your hands on one!

Since Charlotte Tilbury launched her own makeup range a year ago , her products have right away become the most lust after products. The most “wow” piece would have to be the famous Filmstar Bronze & Glow . Not only the products are amazing in quality, but also the gold vintage packaging is lush!! I would love to carry it round with me but it's slightly big for handbag & it's not like I need to top up bronzer & highlight throughout the day. I was thinking, "if the size can be smaller, handbag friendly & with products that I can use on the go, that would be a dream come true" And recently my dream did come true! The answer is Filmstars on the go Palette .
