Dior’s Holiday 2011 polishes from their Merveille collection has something for everyone. It has neutrals, brights, and a dark vampy colour too! Each shade has very fine gold shimmer in it which barely translates on the nail. You’ll see it more in the bottle than you will on your nail.
LOVE this golden khaki colour from Dior for their Holiday 2011 collection. The colour is called Exquis and you must get your hands on it because it’s a neutral with some oomph.
The next colour is Merveille, which is an orangy red with the gold shimmer. I’m telling you right now that this is the last red polish I’m swatching because, quite frankly, I’m sick of it. As you can see, the gold shimmer is barely perceptible.
Also check out Apparat. This is a deep wine with gold shimmer. From far, you can tell that this is a shimmery colour, but there’s no way of telling whether it’s gold or not. It’s kind of disappointing that the gold shimmer is lost.

What do you think of these colours? Will you be picking up any of them for the holidays?
Gorilla perfumes at Lush are my favourite, because they remind me of old-school perfumes. Each one smells earthy with variations of floral, fruit, or woody notes.
Biotherm launches a product just in time for the winter season: an all new body butter that is seriously top of the line.
The CND Plum collection is launching this holiday season and it’s one that will suit a wide range of skin tones. The colours – Plum Truffle Colour and Plum Truffle Sparkle Effect – are nice wine colours that are so wearable. You can wear them out or just to work.
Madonna has paired up with Coty to launch a fragrance named Truth or Dare. The scent will launch next April in the U.S. and will be available globally in May. Apparently the scent will be a mix of floral, woods, and vanilla.
I have had the Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer sitting in my drawer for a while now, but other products seemed more glamourous to use, so I just didn’t get around to trying it. Then a friend who used to work at a Lancome counter told me that she used to love the original Turnaround cream when she could get it for free at the neighboring counter. That’s when I knew I had to try this.
Fendi’s new perfume smells exactly the way you think an Italian person would smell. The scent is brash, loud, but feminine. It only works if you’re used to crowded Roman cities, and if you take cobblestone roads and crumbling architecture for granted as part of your scene. You need a personality to match the fragrance, and I’m sorry to say that I don’t have such a personality… I would only wear this if it matched my mood. If I wanted people to think that I was louder than I actually am.
Burberry Body is the latest release from the ever-popular brand, and I’m sure you’ve noticed the ads which feature Rosie Huntington-Whitely in a Burberry Trench and nothing else. Body capitalizes on the skin-like scents that are so popular this season, and the name even evokes how they want you to think of this scent. I read somewhere that this scent was supposed to be like cashmere against skin, but I’m not sure they really accomplished that goal.
The newest launch from Prada is Candy, which even had me shaking my head. I hate gourmand fragrances, and I had visions of some kind of chocolaty knock-off in a Prada bottle.
