Fri, 3 May 2013 2:05PM
Whether you switch up your scent for the new season, or even for the beginning of May (I’m talking to you, Diorissimo), each of the different perfumes that hold a place in your fragrance wardrobe have their own special reason for doing so. And interestingly, despite the fact that I’m fortunate enough to test fragrances… more

International Women’s Day Post: Do Feminism & Beauty Mix?
Fri, 8 March 2013 10:56AM
So this is the one where I get my feminist on. You see, despite the apparent trappings – the flowing floral dresses, the long blonde hair and the shimmer-loving lids – I am a hardcore feminist at heart. Poor Husband. He might absentmindedly drop a tea cup into the sink; I start railing about our… more

Tue, 5 February 2013 11:32AM
As you probably know by now, we’re feeling a little loved-up here at PRIMPED, in the lead-up to V-Day. For starters, we’ve swooned over heart-art nails and kissable lips. But we can’t go much further with our Valentine’s Beauty Special until we talk about that ultimate beauty weapon of any self-respecting seductress: sexy lashes. First up, let me just… more

Thu, 24 January 2013 11:39AM
It’s been a while since our last PRIMPED Round Table discussion. Remember our last one on icky beauty habits? Gee, that was a goodie. I learned all kinds of things about you Primpers. However today, I’m focusing on our makeup memories, after being inspired by Kat’s tribute yesterday to the greatest Aussie beauty moments. In… more

My Best Beauty Gift Ever!
Tue, 13 November 2012 4:48PM
What does Christmas smell like to you? Cinnamon-sprinkled eggnog? Shiny green pine needles? Warm plum pudding? To me, Christmas smells like Guerlain Météorites, those iconic complexion-illuminating pastel-hued powder pearls: You see, when I was 13, and a total freshie to the world of beauty (my skincare pretty much consisted of little tubes and tubs from The Body… more

Natural vs Synthetic Fragrance. Or, When a Rose is Not a Rose.
Wed, 15 August 2012 11:38AM
I was chatting to a girlfriend the other day and we got onto the subject of fragrance (if it’s not Ryan Gosling or Revenge or rising electricity costs, it’s usually something beauty-related). “I only wear natural perfume,” she declared. Funny thing is, her favourite fragrance is far from ‘natural’. It might smell like a field… more

What to Buy this Week: Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lys Soleia
Mon, 16 July 2012 11:39AM
My must-buy of the week actually hit beauty counters last month. However, I was on maternity leave back then (and neck deep in nappies) so have only just started sniffing out the latest batch of fragrances (and boy, what a pleasant change they make from Eau de Huggies). My pick of the perfumed bunch: the limited-edition… more

Vive la Beauté! Products to Go Ooh La La Over this Bastille Day, Plus WIN a Klorane Dry Shampoo
Fri, 13 July 2012 2:06PM
Anyone who has ever met me for even a micro-second knows that I am beyond obsessed with anything French. The country, the language, the accent (honestly, I could happily listen to a Frenchie talk about his blocked toilet for days), the history (even the gory Revolution bit), the it girls, the champagne, Ladurée*, the fashion… more

Chocolate Cravings? Read This First.
Thu, 5 April 2012 3:30PM
Chocolate is everywhere right now, it being Easter and all. And, sure, it’s full of antioxidants (well, the dark version, at least). Plus, a new study has shown that people who eat chocolate a few times a week are slimmer than those who only eat it occasionally. But I’m still a little worried about my… more

How To: look as pretty as a Parisienne
Wed, 29 February 2012 2:48PM
I’m a hopeless Francophile. I love everything French, especially if it hails from my favourite place on Earth: Paris. So, with that city’s Fashion Week A/W ‘12 just beginning, I’m feeling in a particularly ooh-la-la frame of mind. While the coming week is sure to launch beaucoup de new hair and makeup trends, the funny… more
