SHOPPING

Sharing a couple of things that I bought lately. One of the most exciting purchases this month had to be my two pairs of new boots. They are both sock boots which is the style I am obsessed with. The black pair is from Nicholas Kirkwood and I bought them on sale at 50% of here! I love them so much as they are super comfy. The style is cute but chic and his signature pearl heel just makes the boots more special. I’ve been on a hunt for a pair of white leather stretch boots for so long and I finally found a great pair from Barneys New York. This is my first purchase from Barney’s own brand and I am very impressed with their quality and styles. They are made in Italy and look and feel expensive just like designer shoes, it also comes in other colors such black, patent black and red.

The rest is all the new makeup that I bought lately. I am much more selective with makeup these days and I only buy the ones that are very special and stand out to me.

La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-In Foundation – Big fan of cushion foundation so I cannot resist the new cushion-like foundation from La Prairie.

Tom Ford Shadow Extreme -I was lucky enough to pick up one of their most popular colors TFX5 Garnet Red (bought mine here), as it was literally all sold out everywhere. The color is right on point and is just as amazing as I have seen online. Highly recommend it if you can still find it!

Last but not least, my lovely Chanel SA has reserved these limited-edition Chanel No5 L’EAU Hand Creme and All Over Spray for me. They are great sizes for carrying around in a purse and the design in a frosted matte finish is just too good to pass.

The Perfect White Dress

November 22, 2017

I am always on the lookout for the most beautiful versatile white dresses! My Zimmerman dress that I bought earlier this year has earned a lot of compliments and I get many wears out of it.  The Ulla Johnson Dress (currently on sale on Shopbop!) is my recent addition – it is made of cotton so it is great for both casual and evening wear and it gives a relaxing and effortless vibe to it. The ruffled collar and the balloon sleeves are very on trend, and instantly gives an updated modern silhouette. Pairing it with my go-to Schutz Cadey Lee Sandals which are budget-friendly, and a pair of Oscar de la Renta earrings.

Dress – Ulla Johnson

Sandals – Schutz

Earrings – Oscar de la Renta

Bag – YSL Monogram Chain Wallet (Mini)

Also quicky sharing the sales info on Shopbop at the moment. The deal is great because the discount also applies to the already discounted items. I will definitely be busy for the rest of day filling up my cart lol!

Current Wishlist

November 7, 2017

My makeup shopping mojo is back in full swing so I’ve been shopping a lot, as well as adding a lot of things to my never-ending wishlist. I thought I’d share what I have bought lately, and what is on my mind! Clearly, I am going through a warm brown eye shadow phase – as you can see in my wishlist. Taupe is so last year so I have put all my cool taupe palettes aside, and I am now on a mission to collect every variation of warm brown color, particularly in the color families of terracotta, reddish clay and burnt rusty brown.

frontrowbeauty-beauty-wishlist

1.   Huda Obsession Palettes – Huda just released a set of new eyeshadow palettes in smaller packages. I ordered the warm brown palette here as soon as they became available as I know they will sell out soon. Currently, CultBeauty is offering free international shipping for Huda Beauty (no minimum order value).

2.   Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eye Shadow Palette – Another beautiful highly sought-after eyeshadow palette that I just bought! I love the Modern Renaissance so much (reviewed here), so it’s a no-brainer for me to pick up her newest release, and the colors are right on point.

3.   Fenty Beauty Match Stix – Totally worth the hype and I am really impressed with the quality of Rihanna’s beauty line, and my favorite product of her line is the Match Stix. This MatchStix Trio Set in light is possibly the best contour and highlight set I have ever used! Review to come soon.

4.   Smashbox Cover Shot Eye Palette – Just can’t resist the reddish terracotta shades, so I had to have the highly raved palette in the color Ablaze.

5.   Giorgio Armani Cushion Foundation – Absolutely amazing formula. It’s definitely a must-have if you like cushion foundations.

6.   Natasha Denona Sunset Palette – I heard so many good reviews about her eyeshadow palettes and her best seller is finally back in stock!

7.   La Mer The Sheer Pressed Powder – La Mer offers a lot more than their legendary cream. I am a big fan of their powder as they make the finest airy powder so I can’t wait to get my hands on their newest release.

8.   Suqqu 2017 Japan Christmas Collection – Trying to get hold of Suqqu is exhausting. I just received my Suqqu palettes from the UK 2017 Christmas Collection, and now I have my eyes set on the Japan Christmas Collection! If you know where to get them without the exorbitant additional margin, please let me know!

Shopbop Sale is here again!

February 28, 2017

The Shopbop’s Big Event Sale with up to 25% off entire order with code GOBIG17 is happening again! How exciting as I have been holding out on my shopping just for this event which I tend to fulfill a lot of items from my wishlist.

I am loving my Victoria Beckham’s aviator so much as they are feather light, crystal clear and leave no marks on the nose bridge (bought the blue color in mirrored lens earlier on as shown in the pictures), so I’ve decided to add another pair in the classic gold color. Since my sunglasses collection is outgrowing and I can never seem to find the pair I am after, I will also be getting a few of these sunglasses organizers from Shopbop. I have been eyeing on them for a while as they are quite pricey but they look so well-made and sturdy, so it is worth the splurge to store the designer sunglasses. In the OOTD, I am wearing this beautiful bohemian playsuit from Camilla’s latest collection that is perfect for your summer weekends or vacation!
