- The beauty world is buzzing with the latest Holiday collections. I’m particularly taken with what the house of Chanel, Guerlain and interestingly Tom Ford, has to offer. Though definitely not in love with their prices. But we’ll see.
- Have you seen the stunning Chanel POUDRE TISSÉE in Brompton Road that is exclusive to Harrods? It would make good company indeed for my OMBRES TISSÉE in Beiges. And we are in luck, for Brompton Road proves to be wearable (wry grin) – as you can see from this entry here by Vicky of Vanity-Fashionista. She has excellent pictures which are clear, and very helpful since she’d done a look with it for people like me who can’t get hold of a tester in the local store. It is a gorgeous pink/peach that waivers with the amount of highlight you sweep with your brush. Available online and in stores for three weeks only. Must-have.
- I’m officially on a ‘buy only from XX‘ phase. XX being specific brands that I culled out from my long list of wants (but they aren’t exactly needs either!), in my efforts to streamline and sort of ‘curate’ my collection. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I would be able to stick to it *glups*
- My wardrobe is no longer a mess. And taking heed of some very blunt pointers or what have you, I am going
makeupclothes shopping. My latest ASOS acquisition turned out to be a total failure since I’ve only kept one out of three items, and that being a pair of too-high-for-my-own-good wedges. Whatever, I need to practice the walk. - Am I the only one or is Chanel getting as bad as MAC is? I haven’t quite recovered from the avalanche of releases, or maybe it’s because I’m usually late to the party and purchase items from a previous collection at about when the current collection launches. Whatever it is, I’m all pooped out.
And to reward you for sticking through my usual thoughts-of-the-day entry, here’s Brompton Road in all its Chanel glory with the interlocking CCs.

I’m liking the look of Geurlain’s holiday collection, especially the powder
I saw Tom Ford’s MU collection briefly, pretty but not all that XD *too expensive!*
Thank you for linking love! <3
Miss Vicky V,
Temptalia just posted swatches of the Guerlain Holiday collex~ I am so excited to test out the Parure de Nuit Pressed Powder & Blush for myself – as if I need anymore highlighters already XD But I’m sure you are with me here.
YOU SAW TOM FORD’S MAKEUP? Woman, I need to hear your thoughts about that. And I just realized, Beiges and Brompton Road costs pretty much the same as a Tom Ford eyeshadow quad. *facepalm* So er *coughs*
Very welcome, I love well-written posts that have excellent pictures.
hi dear~ will u be gettin the new POUDRE TISSÉE ?
Hey sweetie
Yes I would be
How can I not really! I wanted to leave a comment on your blog but Blogspot confuses the shit out of me – I couldn’t find a comment button! Congrats on the Chanel haul, very nice!
Speaking of which, I need to save money and buy the pottys quickly. Epatant looks like a gorgeous color ~.~
thanks dear! yes. the pots are gorgeous (who can resist those sparkly shimmers!!!) i will be getting more of those babies soon!! thank god there are perm!!
just wonderin…. will the poudre tissee be available on our shore?….sooo wantin to grab ‘em!!
Hey Bong!
The pottys are gorgeous, but I shall wait till DFS to get them. The Armani ETKs are still my favourite XD
The Poudre Tissee is exclusive to Harrods and definitely not going to be available (I THINK) in Singapore. I was in Chanel Ion today and the SA didn’t know of this collex at all, so I guess you can only order from the UK
They ship internationally for S$50, or maybe you can ship to a friend in the UK like I did to make shipping more bearable~
I’m looking forward to owning at least one Tom Ford lippie. I’m also looking forward to the Chanel velvet lippies, must at least own another red
. I’m currently head over heels over Burberry so I’m on a collector mode plus I’ve always been a big Chanel fan. Thanks for giving me the heads up about Brompton Road.
I order from Asos all the time too, yeah for me some sizes are a hit and miss but I love their clothes!
Morning Jacq~
KarlaSugar just updated with her swatches of the Tom Ford lipsticks, you might want to take a look. I would want to see a comparison between those and that of YSL’s, shall go bug Sophia about it xD
And you, my red lipstick enabler! I want red lipsticks because of you! Speaking of which, I have a bit of free time to go for shopping this afternoon, would you be in town? I’ll have to drop by Chanel hee.
I think being a collector is fine (since its my own money) but again having a limited budget means being selective about what to collect, LOL. I tried swatching the YSL lippies on my lips but uh, I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A BETTER CAMERA! *sadface*
& Jacq, you are so slim and fit! I on the other hand, have more junk in my trunk you know? Like stomach rolls and stuff. So ASOS is pretty crappy about their sizes. Remind me again that ZARA rules. *winks*
Argh sweetie I missed your reply. Guess I can’t meet up with you. I’ll be in Orchard tomorrow at about 12 noon and in Holland also at noon on Friday. It is the hols for me so must squeeze in all my pampering before the hectic work starts again. So if you are free, what’s app me k?
What ever it is, so long as you are comfortable with your body and love yourself
. I’m a health nut so quite obsessive with the exercising but I still eat plenty of junk! That is why I need to exercise.
So you haven’t gotten your camera yet? Buying a camera is a confusing exercise, I’m a self-professed bimbo, I just point and shoot. I don’t think about angles and composition.
I agree about the Asos sizes, sometimes I have to cross my fingers and hope for the best. But I love their dresses so.
Heh, it’s okay. I should have Whatsapped you instead :S My bad!
The whole idea about pampering is awesome. God knows I need some pampering too! I’ll only be in Orchard at about 1-ish 2, will Whatsapp you
I wish I have the committment to go exercise or continue with my classes, or just have the willpower to cut down on those sinful food.
Yes, no camera yet. Wanted to splurge on the latest GF12? or something? Very simple point-and-shoot, unlike the must-adjust-like-hell DSLR. But I figured I should treat all my friends to a nice night out instead. Cannot always focus on myself, lol. I LIKE POINT AND SHOOT! Idiot proof.
Sighs, not going to think about ASOS anymore. Zara FTW for me.
ETK is also my current fav as compared to chanels. But i prefer chanel’s texture tho.
omg… tt’s bad….have some friends in US but not UK …gaaaaaah!!! (boohoo)
The first time I tried the pottys, it was a deflating experience cos there was so much talk about the texture, I got my hopes up. It felt quite, weirdly. But the second time I swatched it, I saw how beautiful the shimmers are, and decided to buy Epatant, Emerville and maybe Illusiore (sp). At DFS though xD
I really shouldn’t be thinking about pottys after er, I have quite a significant # of ETKs *cough* thanks for the comparison Bong
About the Chanel, I just ordered right after I replied your first comment
Sorry about that. A friend split the £6 UK shipping with me, lol. Would you be able to find another to order with you? Unless you don’t mind to fork out S$92 (£46) + S$12 (£6) = S$104 for the Poudre… I might be able to help.
yup, the shimmers are definitely something to fall in love with! I think imma gonna gt mirifique and emerville soon. will also wanna gt more ETKs (i only own 2 now) !! muahahahaha….
OMG! so so so super thanks for offerin to help the helpless bong! haaa
i totally dont mind getting it at $104 as compared to the intl shippin price. But izzit possible to get more then 1 ? (coz my fren might be interested in getting it too, so might be getting 3 instead).
