I used to very obsessed with coral lips about 2-3 years ago (anybody remember MAC Ever Hip in their Liberty London collection?).  Then I went through the phases of bold red lips, bright pink lips, berry lips, and now, tinted lip balm.  So it's taking me some strength to go back to coral with all these nice shades popping up, including the Dior Addict Lip Glow in Coral (CA $35 / US $31) and Dior Rouge Dior in Rose Crinoline (CA $36 / US $34).

It's a day early, but Happy Valentine's Day!  Believe it or not, I rarely celebrate Valentine's Day.  My friends called my man lucky because he doesn't need to get me a gift or flowers.  But I'd be lying if I say I don't care for the romantic stuff, roses and chocolates.  At the very least, I would have to put on some Valentine's Day themed makeup.  Here's how I'm gonna get that...

Many of my friends would have a tube or two Dior Addict Lip Gloss in their bag.  They are undoubtedly beautiful to look at, but are they as great as many have said?

Last month I had the chance to go to the Shu Uemura SS2014 Press Event to learn and explore about their upcoming collection, and to witness the magical makeup techniques of Shu Uemura's Global Creative Director—Kakuyasu Uchiide.

Dear Polar Vortex, why are you still here?  Just this past weekend it was all white outside.  I need some other colour in my life.

The Dior Trianon Collection for Spring features the Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer (CA $26 / US $24) in 3 new colours—Bouquet, Porcelaine, and Bloom—and a Shimmering Matte Effect Top Coat in Perlé.  The formula of these Nail Vernis are always smooth and creamy.  But for lighter colours, like Bouquet and Porcelaine in this collection needs 3 coats for a full coverage.  Of course if you don't mind it be slightly translucent, then 2 would do a fine job.
