What the … ? Another tag in the span of a few days? I KNOW. I don’t typically do more than one tag a month (or even 2-3 months!). But when Norlin tagged me on what’s called an Addicted To Blush tag, I mean, come on! That tag has my name written all over it!

Says the blush fiend. Ahem. 😛

Don’t think of it as a tag. Think of it as me answering a whole lot of hard questions about my favourite blushes. They’re tough because it’s really, really difficult to choose my favourite in the categories below. You’ll probably know the answers to a lot of them but when one is tagged, one has to answer!

Alrighty then, who’s ready to talk about blush?

I hadn’t heard of the brand Hand Chemistry until I stumbled upon a blog post by Jane from British Beauty Blogger. At that time, she and goodness-knows-how-many British beauty bloggers started talking about Hand Chemistry products and I must say, I was really intrigued by the Hyaluronic Concentrate for Hands and Body. Jane rates this very highly, which made me wonder, how the heck am I going to get a hold of this because I’m obviously not based in the UK? I wondered. And then I forgot about it.

Fast forward many months later, I saw one of the Hand Chemistry Hyaluronic products mentioned in one of Caroline Hirons‘ YouTube videos and I remembered “hey, I wanted that Hyaluronic Concentrate!“. So I went to the website and whaddyaknow, they actually ship to Australia! This is what happens when I don’t do my research properly. Tsk tsk. 😛

I picked up a couple of items from the DECIEM website (that’s the umbrella brand for Hand Chemistry) and a couple of weeks later, they arrived. I’ve been using the Hyaluronic Concentrate for about a month now and I’ve formed a bit of a love-hate relationship with it.

This is not a new scent by Guerlain. In fact, it was launched in 2007 but I only heard about it end of last year. This was introduced by LeGeeque, who picked up a bottle of this at a duty-free store in an airport. She recommended this perfume to me and told me it’s right up my alley. Heck, when the word “mandarin” is plastered on any fragrance, you know I’d have to check it out.

First, I went to the David Jones store at the Chadstone Shopping Centre but was told that they don’t stock the perfume and suggested that I try the store in the city instead. When I went to the Guerlain counter at David Jones (this wasn’t available at MYER either), the sales assistant told me that they only order the Aqua Allegoria perfumes in twice a year, that they’re customer orders only and if I wanted to get on the “waiting list”, I had to wait till the next order opens in September. I politely declined and left.

All the while, I was thinking “Are you kidding me? You wanna put me on a waiting list for a PERFUME? Oh hell no!“. 😛
