[ VOLUTES by Diptyque ]

One of my favorite presents I got for Christmas is this perfume by diptyque.

I love the warm & deep scent of it.... beautiful!

diptyque - VOLUTES:

"The voyage of your dreams, on board a liner from Marseille to Saigon. A long haul crossing, stopping off at a number of places with magical names, all redolent of adventure and spice. The charm of life on board ship, where time does not exist. The labyrinth of polished passageways and the panelled walls of the lounges, the enigmatic elegant women leaning on the rail on top deck, indulging in the pleasure of Khedive cigarettes. A smell forever imprinted on the memory: Volutes."

[ BALMAIN nail couture ]

Exciting news for all BALMAIN fans and manicure lovers (like me).... 

the French fashion house is launching a limited edition nail-polish collection. It features three classic glossy shades: SCARLET RED, NUDE & BLACK. The set also includes a MAT TOP COAT which can be applied, in case you prefer your nails in a velvety matte finish. How cool is that!?

Exclusively available at www.thisisbeautymart.com and BeautyMART at Harvey Nichols.

What looks like a jewelry ear piece is actually dozens of irregularly shaped pieces of rock crystal costume jewelry glued to the model's earlobe!

What a work!

Love the beauty styling by James Kaliardos - 

"Modern-medieval face... the collection feels Dungeons & Dragons to me, not Joan of Arc..." 

so the words of Kaliardos.

And then those earpieces.... wow... fierce!
