I enjoyed doing the Hit and Miss Lists last year and thought I’d carry on with it this year. So, welcome to the first Hit and Miss List of 2015! I thought I’d share some favourite products I’ve used in January and a couple of misses that I’m not too keen on. The misses were a surprise; I didn’t expect to dislike them. One of them came highly recommended too!
From the photo above, can you guess which ones are hits and which ones are misses?
I’ve mentioned this several times on the blog that I really like L’Oreal’s Nude Magique Eau de Teint foundation (even more than Chanel’s Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation). When I heard that Maybelline launched their Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation in the US many months ago, I was intrigued to find out if it would do as well as the NM Eau de Teint. I’ve read product reviews and YouTubes videos on the Dream Wonder foundation and was particularly curious about that dropper-stick-thing that’s attached to the cap.
A couple of months ago, I was fortunate to be sent a few new products by Maybelline that would be launched this month and one of them was the Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation. I’ve been itching to share my thoughts about it but given that it would only be launched in Australia in February 2015, it wouldn’t make sense for me to talk about it in November 2014.
Alrighty, let’s get started!
Several months ago, I was binge-watching videos on YouTube when I came across a vlog by Lily Pebbles. She vlogged her experience on creating her bespoke perfume at a perfume atelier in London and I thought to myself, “I wonder if there are any perfumaries in Melbourne that feature bespoke perfumes?” After a quick search on Google, I discovered Fleurage Perfume Atelier. It was located at South Melbourne which is really near the Melbourne CBD. I had a feeling the experience is best shared with a girlfriend and I asked LeGeeque if she wanted to come along as well. LeGeeque adores perfume and very quickly (and enthusiastically too, I might add!) said yes.
Our appointment was made and we waited in anticipation for the day to come. Now, I had no idea what it would be like at Fleurage since I’ve never heard of the place before. However, the reviews online were good and the photos were even better so I figured we’ll be all right.
It was more than all right. It was a bloody amazing experience.
If you’re looking for one heck of a stunning red lip and want to splurge on a lipstick for it, look no further than Dior’s Rouge Dior No. 999. I had a bit of a makeover at the new Dior beauty boutique at Highpoint late last year and the makeup artist (Look for Sylvia; she’s fab) used this on me and I was absolutely hooked. And yes, even though I have a lipstick graveyard, I bought the Rouge Dior 999 and a matching lip pencil. Ooops. 😛
