These few gems are products I’ve had my eye
on for what feels like months! And with my birthday just around the corner
(September 1st), it’s the perfect excuse for a decedent splurge.
1. YSL Rouge Volupt Forbidden Burgundy (#12)
Since seeing this product on the stunning
YouTube Beauty Guru Chloe Morello, I’ve been on a wee manhunt for the color.
It’s a very unique almost rich raspberry tone with the gorgeous signature Rouge
Volupt sheen and luxurious gold packaging. RRP $67 NZD http://www.yslbeautyus.com/Rouge-Volupté/374YSL,default,pd.html
2. Peter Alexander for Glasshouse Limited
edition Fudge Brownie Candle
Need I say more? Featuring lavish top notes
of coconut, middle notes of cream and roasted nuts, with dreamy base notes of
chocolate and fudge. This limited edition candle is your perfect guilt-free
sweet tooth pleasure. And, it’s soon to be mine, too! Burn time: a substantial
80 hours. RRP $59.99 NZD exclusively available to Peter Alexander stores. http://www.peteralexander.com.au/shop/en/peteralexander/pa-limited-edition-glasshouse-candle
The latest fragrance by Chloe features fresh
notes of bergamot, apple blossom with a touch of jasmine and ylang-ylang.
However this product was more of a love at first sight for me, due it’s notable
vintage bird cage bottle. Available in 30, 50 and 75ml EDP, prices vary
according to size. http://www.seebychloe-fragrance.com/
4. Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Heftiest
Hibiscus (04)
I first spotted this product on the lovely
Tanya Burr from pixi2woo a month or two back when they weren’t on the New
Zealand market yet, so I’ve had my beady eyes at the ready for when they
launched in NZ. With it’s signature no sharpening, no waste design, this
“Intense” range is more pigmented than the original Chubby Sticks, however
still have the long-lasting hydrating balm texture. The color itself is a
vibrant blood-orange tone, with buildable coverage. RRP $40 NZD http://www.clinique.com/product/1605/24146/Makeup/Lipsticks/NEW-Chubby-Stick-Intense-Moisturizing-Lip-Colour-Balm/index.tmpl
5. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders
I have always been fascinated by the
Hourglass brand in general, so when these powders were popping up all over the
Internet I knew that they would be something that I needed to investigate
further. Described as “Universal finishing powders that recreate the most
exquisitely flattering light” this is the product I am lusting after the most
on my wish list. RRP $82 NZD Exclusively from Mecca Cosmetica. Full review to
come soon… http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/ambient-lighting-powder/
