Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée

Posted on by

Everyone knows I am crazy when it comes to Jill Stuart, I dun really used it but yet I spend a lot of it because it has nice packaging and it smells nice. It also like to come out with limited edition to tempt me to buy them. However, I was browsing online as usual, something caught my eyes!!

Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée cosmetic looks so pretty. They are not those cute or glamorous type of beauty. One look it reminded me or noble and royal which is supposed to be as Merveilleuses is a name given to the most prominent leaders of female fashion which is also their image of the brand. It portray an image that other than the general beauty that everyone is doing, the most important is to find your own unique beauty. They hope that by using Les Merveilleuses de Laduree to find the unique beauty in you.

I guess there is a lot of people who know what is Laduree, they make fantastic Macaroons. Ladurée is a luxury bakery brand founded in 1862 by Louis Ernest Ladurée, a french miller from the southwest of France. The brand is known as the inventor of the double-decker macaron known all over the world.


It has a name of “Best Macaroons in the world”

It was quite a shocking news for a pastry company to also join to competitive cosmetic line. It is a colarbortion with Albion and Ladurée. Albion made other brands like Anna Sui, Jill Stuart and Paul and Joe too. It was first launch in Japan, Tokyo early this year. It will be launching in Europe this autumn and later in US and the rest of Asia.

Products of first launch:
* Face Color Rose Ladurée. Available in 3 shades, this is a powder blush pressed into rose petals. (¥7350 for refill; ¥3150 for case)
* Cream Cheek Base (5 shades, ¥4410)
* Pressed Cheek Color: (20 shades, ¥3900 for refill; ¥1575 for case and brush)
* Rouge (7 shades, ¥4410)
* Translucent Makeup Base (¥5250)
* Color Control Base (¥3990)
* Smoothing Base (¥3990)
* Stick Concealer (2 shades, ¥3990)
* Fluid Foundation (3 shades, ¥6090)
* Face Powder (4 shades, ¥8820 for refill, ¥3780 for case with puff)
* Cheek Brush (¥6300)
* Face Powder Puff (¥630)
* Hand Mirror (¥3675)

Understand why it mesmerized me? First is their flower pedal blusher, it reminded me of the ancient type of makeup where woman have to wet their lips and apply the lip colouring paper by putting it in between.


I bought 4 pedal from their 01 and 02 blusher. I think it cost around S$11/pedal with shipping. It has a nice smell too. But its price is way more expensive than Jill Stuart. I guess that will stop me from wanting it as Jill Stuart is still my favourite. I feel that Jill Stuart is for princess and Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée is for queen or diva.

Below are the Summer and Fall released respectively.

Cozycot Kanebo Sales Haul

Posted on by

Okay. Blogging a super late entry which I am supposed to blog about it weeks ago. I actually took all the photos. I am just a bit lazy and busy to edit them. :P

If you have read my previous entry about Kanebo Sales. You wouldn’t have or want to miss it. The sales is crazy and this is what I call sales. Lunasol palette was like 50% cheaper. I have been wanting to own one but because of my frequent sales purchase. I really accumulate too many to buy them off shelves, hence this sales is a perfect excuse for me to buy them.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-eImI-RtAKu4/TkI3WCBa8EI/AAAAAAAACYw/sJuNMSxQ1qQ/s800/356838748.jpg

By the time we reached, there is already a small crowd there. Can u imagine that I reach at 11 plus only?


Introducing my new beauty kaki, Patricia!~ (Left) and me on the right. We still got the time the cam whore sia… :P


Our combined haul. Don’t be mistaken, Patricia only buy a few. Most of them are mine!~


These are her small haul. She really control her buying since she is a student so she got more budget control problem than me. :P


My 2 bags of haul from the Kanebo sales. I do admit a bit intimidating to a lot of people. But my leechie friend bought a lot more than me. My haul look big as I bought 2 bundle of Kanebo Skincare from Impress and Blanchir Superior as I wanted to try their skincare too.


My humble haul. Not that much right? I told u all le ma. I did exercise small budget control.

Coffret D’or

I got an extra Lunasol item on the extreme right that I missed out from the Lunasol group. I bought 2 eyeshadow palette and 1 eyeliner from Coffret D’or

In case you don’t know, they have left Singapore already. Hence, the last collection that they launched is the Summer 2010 collection. (Read more from: Haru’s Blog)

Jewelcious Eyes (02: Pink Topaz and 04: Amber Beige)


Coffret D’or full keep gel liner (BK-30)

I initially did wanted to get the C Curve palettes. However, I find their shade not to my liking. I put them back before I went to pay.

Kate

My Kate Haul. I bought slightly more for this because they are really much cheaper. They are even cheaper than Watson sales too.


KATE Reflect Mirror Eyeshadow


Limited edition Diamond Cut Eyes Bk 2 – Dark Diamond


Magical Long Mascara N and Volume Gel Mascara


Brown Collection (BR-1 and BR-4)


Covering Concealer for Under Eyes

Lunasol

I bought 3 palette but only after I went home, I discover that I bought 2 of the same colour. I think the lady gave me the wrong colour.


Nail Polish (EX-26). It freaking cost S$8 only, how can I miss it?

Blanchir Superior

Next Blanchir Superior skincare. I guess skincare is something I will always like to try.

Impress

The Impress set is really very pretty. I really love the white bag. It is actually more of a toilette bag.


See the small details!~ The area is very well made.


The content of the Impress set


I like the travel size. Since I just want to try this range, hence I do not want it to be full sized.


From left to Right, top to bottom: White Returnergy, White Emulsion, White Lotion and Brightening cleansing Sheet.

I will update the prices of the product again.

Launch of Bébé Poshé in Singapore

Posted on by

I got to know this brand when I was Google as usual. I saw these pretty ladies from Kang Xi Lai Le. At that time I did not know they are socialite. In case anyone don’t know what socialite means like me, it means a person who participates in social activities and spends a significant amount of time entertaining and being entertained at fashionable upper-class events。 Being able to participate in this event, you are usually a famous fashion stylish or rich woman. I then further read on I saw that they actually just release a new brand. I went to the Taiwan Payeasy and fall in love at first sight. I have been following their Taiwan Facebook and saw that Bébé Poshé is finally launching in Singapore.

Brand Concept
A brand-new luxurious makeup brand – BÉBÉ POSHÉ – was ushered in during the mid-summer of 2010.

A collaboration among Taiwanese socialites including, Jennifer Lin, Sun Yun-Yun, Sun Ying-Ying, Michelle Liao and Cammier Huang, a luxurious makeup brand created by socialites for socialites is born.

Working with celebrity makeup artist You Si Qi, who is an experienced maestro in the field of cosmetics and aesthetics, the brand is the epitome of how impeccable style, luxurious design and effective formula can come together.

With a passion for beauty, the socialites and You Si Qi spent an entire year in search of the perfect formula and to structure the right makeup techniques. The celebrity team travelled to different fashion cities and be in the company of subtle fragrances so that they can immerse themselves in the realms of perfect beauty and luxurious art. This inspires the invention of splendid makeup for the creation of a face that’s only synonymous with royalty.

As a celebrity makeup artist with a distinctive style, You Si Qi used her experience in makeup and passion for beauty to lend sharp and opinionated input to BÉBÉ POSHÉ’s products that only a female makeup artist could provide. Through repeated experiments and tests, as well as continuous adjustments and amendments, she concocted a formula that best embodies themakeup style of a socialite.

Juicy Muah² Lipgloss (Comes in 7 Shades: 01 Hickey, 02 Champagne, 03 Sugar, 04 Pink Diamond, 05 Paradise, 06 Flirt & 07 Strawberry Glitz) – S$19.90

I was in a hurry when I go to the Watson, I did tried their powder foundation too. The texture is great too. I personally like their gel liners as the pigmentation is great. The lip colour is mostly towards the pink side. Even their peach colour have a hint of pink in them. There is shimmering in the lip stick if u see my swatches. It can glide on my hands easily. The blusher is not for me as they are too pink and shimmering for me. Most likely it will look oily on me but I like their bronze one. It can be a good shading for contouring. However, their blusher is not as smooth as their powder foundation.

Overall I would say it is worth my trip specially to Toa Payoh. I will most likely buy their liner and maybe lipstick.
