The Royal Wedding had us all enthralled last weekend, although to be honest I missed the live telecast and had to catch up online. What impressed me most was the beautiful #MarkleSparkle, her glowy skin and airy gossamer play of colour that is so elegant and pure. I loved that moment during the ceremony when she snuck a sideways glance at her husband, and the most genuine shy smile broke across her face. That look really sang out to me in more ways than I can imagine, not least of which is how the transparency of it all is so on trend for this season. Though it is rumoured that Meghan Markle wore Dior makeup, I am personally favouring Chanel’s take with the Éclat et Transparence Collection for Cruise 2018.

The beauty pixies surprised me with an amazing trove of makeup goodies that is too delectable for me to not share it with you! Pixi recently collaborated with 3 gorgeous beauty vloggers – Dulce Candy, Chloe Morello and Weylie Hoang – to release 3 very special makeup kits that are suitable for just about anybody. I love that Pixi has always been about accessible beauty products for the everyday woman/girl, and by working with real live women, Pixi has really brought it home for me. Each of these pieces are so intuitive and easy to wear that I think you can pick any of them up without overthinking it, and enjoy them for a long time.

It’s been a very exciting year so far here in Singapore, with many long-coveted brands finally launching physical counters so that fans can go and explore in person. One such brand is Chantecaille, which has been consistently maintaining a low-profile (relatively speaking) focusing instead on producing luxuriously formulated and beautifully designed products. I first encountered Chantecaille in 2006 when I was seeking a lightweight, skin-loving base product to cover my eczema, and the beauty world was in love with Chantecaille’s Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer, long before the Koreans started mass marketing the BB cream. Over years, I’ve fallen for Chantecaille’s Philanthropy initiatives, as they not only provide financial support, but actively promotes awareness of environmental issues in a meaningful way. To celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary this year, Chantecaille has released a stunning Eye Palette that perfectly encapsulates the natural ideal of beauty that is espoused by the brand.

Hello! I hope you’ve been enjoying the mini series over the past week! I was traipsing all across China for work during that time, and flying into a different city every day combined with a red-eye back home over the weekend have left me somewhat unbalanced. Knowing that I will be lugging my suitcase with me all the way and that I wouldn’t have much time nor the occasion to prep super fancy makeup looks, I decided to pack 3 items from By Terry’s Spring 2018 collection with me, and they made all the difference!

Goodness, is it Summer already?! I suppose somewhere in the world, it is always sunny and fabulous. Tom Ford released its Summer Soleil 2018 collection about a month ago in the US, and I had my eye on the new eye & cheek palette right away. In addition to releasing colour variations of some core members of the soleil line, Tom Ford has also introduced a couple of brand new items this season. Here are my picks from Tom Ford’s summer 2018 collection:
