Givenchy · Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Matte Foundation & New Fragrance Launches
When I received these latest launches from Givenchy to try out, and I immediately dove in. First of all, as a long-time fan of this brand, I had a gut feeling that I wouldn’t be disappointed and spoiler alert: I wasn’t.
Maison Margiela · Replica Autumn Vibes
Autumn Vibes is the latest addition to the Maison Margiela Replica range, and with a provenance hailing from Montréal (my home base) plus its description of ‘woody trail & red leaves‘ (the forest is one of my happy places), my connection with this fragrance becomes somewhat personal.

CHANEL · N°5 Holiday 2021 Makeup Collection
CHANEL’s iconic N°5 is celebrating 100 years of celebrity and is the inspiration behind this year’s 2021 Holiday Makeup Collection.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a private preview of this new collection and I can sum it up in one word: exquisite.
