Deauty Delivering Beauty and more!

It's the latest trend, it's convenient and it's something very cool that any beauty addict can't miss and it's the best gift you can make to yourself or to your best friends, i'm talking about those beautiful beauty boxes delivered at your door every month, filled with every day needs, beauty products we all need to have and use. It's the ultimate beauty experience. 

I have to admit i'm a huge fan of beauty boxes and when Deauty was created in Belgium i was very excited. Deauty has now a wide range of brands, actually the largest range which includes many  luxury and niche brands as Dermalogica, Babor, Filorga, Giorgio Armani, Payot, Shiseido... just to mention a little part! You should check on the website for the full list.

For Christmas, Deauty has created a fabolous box composed with 5 amazing products, i personally loved all of them, the Uriage mask is great during this time of the year, the Caudalie Eau Fraiche Fleur De Vignes has such a relaxing  fragrance, the Mythic Oil from L'Oreal is a cult product for the best hair treatments, then the red lipstick from Yves Rocher is so soft on the lips but so intense, then al last but not least, the bio brand BoHo with a lip pencil in a very trendy colour. All  these items are packed in a very chic, reusable box. What to ask for more? It was just perfect! 

So if  you are still struggling with Christmas presents, Deauty Christmas Box is actually the answer! I recommend it to all my Belgian readers. Then if you try it once, you cannot do without! I believe the best thing is to receive a Deauty box every month and subscribe to this great service at bargain price for one year. We deserve a little, exclusive gift every month! Especially when we don't have much time left to sampling all the beauty products out there or we need to feel unique, or simply when everyday life is charging us a lot, in the end what we need is a little adorable snuggle like this. That's what Deauty was created for.

Bags of Appeal

A good make-up bag is essential to keep your favourite make up pieces organized and clean. Here some tips when you're investing in a purse.

1. It will inevitably get mucky so you want to make sure you can pop in the washing maschine or be able to wipe it down.

2. It must contain separate compartment to keep lots of different pieces.

3. There must be a few pockets for brushes, but well, this depends on how many brushes you're going to keep in the bag.

4. An extra mirror contained in the bag is a plus.

5. The hardest point to consider is the bag big enought to contain all the pieces and small enough to fit in the handbag? Try to look for a medium size bag!
6. Are you extremely chaotic with your make up? Consider buying a transparent bag so you can see and find easily all the products.

Fashion File: a quick preview of summer 2012, what's new at Chanel?

Maison Chanel introduces a new family of tote bags which will certainly caught your attention.

The design is simple and sophisticated, perfect for a laid back luxe and these canvas tote bags are essential day to day items for next season.Chanel's new hot must-haves will come in five sizes and in faded shades of four different colours.

I always suggest to my customers to invest in these kind of bold but simple accessories for a distinctly modern look.
