OOTD: Casual with a touch of Sparkle!

Hi ladies and gents,

It has definitely been a while!  I am so sorry for being so MIA over the past  who-knows-how-long.  I blame work and my lack of social life.  My only form of social media interaction has been instagram - where I seem to be able to remember to post ootd and miscellaneous other tidbits of my life.  So if you're interested in seeing more of me, my instagram is cocomechanel.

Today, I have a brief OOTD for you that I posted on instagram.  I figured every time I post one of these there, I'll post it here with a break down.

Essie: Lights

This spring, Essie released a line of polishes under the name of Poppy-razzi.  It consisted of 4 polishes: Lights, Camera, Action & Bazooka.  Two shades instantly caught my eye and I had to pick them up.  The first of the two shades is this one here: Lights.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses: Swatches & Review

Today's featured product has to be one of my favourites.  Revlon always has amazing products - it's one of my favourite drugstore brands.  They're products are affordable and good-quality.  What I'm talking about is... Super Lustrous Lipglosses with SPF 12.  I currently own 6 shades (4 of which are considered new, 2 which have been around a while).  Originally, 4 of these shades were limited edition, though they have now been integrated into the permanent line.

Butter London: Slapper

More Butter London!  It has been a while since I sat down and wrote a blog post.  I have missed this!!  Aside from always loving my usual pink / red / purple polishes, I have always held a spot in my heart for teal / turquoise polishes.  I love how bright and eye-catching the colour is.  Though I do own my share of turquoise polishes, I still decided to pick up Butter London's Slapper - part of their Spring 2012 collection (along with Knackered - see post here).  I have been wearing this colour either on my toes or fingers for about 2 weeks now... I will never tire of this polish!

I'm back!

Hi all!


It has been so long!  How I've missed you all (an blogging!)
I hope you can excuse my lengthy absence.  I've had things to deal with and no time to blog.
But I am back and promise to get back on the blogging horse.

Look out for some exciting new posts on travel, food & cosmetics from asia!

Talk to you soon!

Trending: Neon Accessories (Spring 2012)

I LOVE neon.  I cannot express to you how much neons draw me in.  I am a sucker for bright and beautiful.  It's fantastic!  I am in love with all the neon accessories that are in all the shop fronts recently.  I'll admit I might have gone just a tad bit crazy.  Don't judge me - I adore brights!  With that being said, I thought I'd share a few things I've seen / bought / stumbled upon for those of you interested in adding a few trendy neon pieces to your spring / summer 2012 wardrobe.  Nothing says "bring on the sun" like a neon!
