Kilian: The Art of Seduction in a Perfume
More and more I seem to be getting into perfumes. At least, that's what the small pile of perfume samples on my desk seem to be telling me. A stroll through Holts introduced me to a seductive brand and I was very intrigued to say the least.

A Brand and A Cult Product: Kiehl’s and their Midnight Recovery Concentrate
Since we are all more than
our blogs, Quinn from Desgettier and I decided to use our collective interests to investigate
the hype around Kiehl's and one of their iconic products.
Being not too unfamiliar
with the odd science journal, I put my research skills to work in analyzing the
ingredients from the Midnight Recovery Concentrate.
Quinn loves marketing psychology, so she chose to
investigate how Kiehl’s creates hype around their brand and their products. Check out her awesome post here.

Giveaway: Make Up For Ever Extravagant Glamour Set (ends Dec 20th)
Having hauled so much recently, I purposely bought something during the Sephora VIB Sale to share the joy of consumeristic tendencies with one of my readers. And in general I just wanted to make someone's holidays a bit more exciting with the chance to win a great holiday gift set from Make Up For Ever! (This giveaway is open internationally.)
This set contains:
- 0.12 oz Rouge Artist Intense in 43 Moulin Rouge
- 0.04 oz Aqua Eyes in Matte Black 0L
- 0.23 oz Smoky Extravagant Mascara in Black
I love Make Up For Ever and I know a lot of people don't go for this brand just because of the price point. For me there's something special about using their products since many of them are geared towards not only lay make-up enthusiasts but make up artists as well. I hope I make your day if you win!
This giveaway is international and open till Dec 20th.

Collective Haul: David's Tea, Sephora VIB and IMATS Toronto 2013
One of the things you might want to know about me, is that it takes me a LONG time to decide on what to buy. (This is very very evident in the video.) But it seems...I didn't have that much of an issue purchasing things this past weekend. (I'm also a serial returner. So don't be surprised if I end up returning a few of these things). Watch in HD!

The Halloween Tag
Thank you to Nikki at Fairest Favorites and Val at Making It Sparkle for tagging me for the Halloween Tag! Halloween isn't my favorite event but there are a lot of fun things that happen around this time. Plus, I also like the postive externality of having extra candy to eat when I don't hand all of it out.

Lookbook: NYFW Spring 2014 RTW
I use to follow fashion somewhat closely. I would look out people's Lookbook profiles, avidedly read fashion blogs, check up the latest runway shows. Nowadays, I find myself more captured by the world of beauty but that doesn't mean I won't pop by Vogue every now and then to see what's going on.
I especially like the fact that Vogue captures not only the clothes from the runway but the beauty looks as well. Here are some of my picks from the Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear lines shown at New York Fashion Week. Enjoy!

Pimple Problems: Effaclar Duo and Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment
After speaking with my work colleague this week and one of my close friends, I realized that pimples are still a problem for us even though we are well over our teenage years! I can't believe that I still have to deal with breakouts and still have yet to figure out how best to tame my skin.

Update
Heyo,
Usually a more substantial blog post than this goes up on Saturdays. Unfortunately I've spilled water over my laptop and it has stopped detecting WIFI, among other things. Who's the queen of computer disasters? I am. (You'll know this is true if you know me real life.)
Suffice it to say, there may not be posts this week. Typing furtively on my work computer isn't something I want to make common practice. Lol. Thanks for hanging in there in the meantime.

Usually my bedside table is a mass of disorganized products, books and pieces of clothing strewn haphazardly over the lamp. As you can tell, I love reading so there's usually a pile of books stacked up and I have my Kobo on the go all the time. Of course there's a photo of the bf. There's good reason why I keep some products near my bed, it makes it much easier to reach for just before I go to sleep.
