[Review] M.A.C Star Trek Limited Edition | Shimmer With An Edge

In celebration of the fifty-year-long-standing sci-fi TV series, Star Trek, M.A.C released a whole line of makeup collection inspired by the strong female characters in the story. Personally, I do not know nor watched a single thing of Star Trek. The very few thing I know about the show are from our CalTech boys in The Big Bang Theory. Yeah, I am that kind of nerd. 

Despite my low affinity to Star Trek, it was pretty exciting to get a hold of some of the limited edition makeup for reviewing. What we got were the Trip The Light Fantastic Powder (Strange New Worlds), Lipglass (Set To Stun) and Kling-In-On Lipstick out of the entire themed line-up. Absolutely LOVE the colours!

[Live Streaming] Burberry's September Show 2016 | Historian and Artisan, The Old and The New

Orlando the movie, 1992 starring Tilda Swinton (right) and Charlotte Valandrey (left)

Having watched Orlando the film way back in our university time, it left us with such vivid memory that it almost imprinted on us the definition of cinematic beauty, simply because we were mesmerised by its grandeur in costume design, the writings of Virginia Woolf and the reinterpretation of her work via the big screen cinematic language, spanning different period time, across the two opposing genders, a story that was told in such captivating manner that it almost left us breathless and speechless. Gripping all the way, we fondly remember. So, one could imagine our excitement when we discovered that our favourite British fashion brand, Burberry's upcoming September Collection show 2016 is partly inspired by this legendary writer's literary work, Orlando the novel and in the spirit of Nancy Lancaster's interior and garden designs, blending historical and artisanal details, and this crafted collection will also include a new equestrian-style runway bag, The Bridle Bag for men and women. Isn't it sounding awesome and exciting already?

[Review] Escada Agua Del Sol | Saying Farewell To A Sweet Sweet Summer

Summer almost bid us goodbye with a really strong flirty fruity scent, to say the least and we were pleasantly surprised when we received this one from ESCADA via their PR team many moons back. Embarrassed we are that we could only share with you now, when fall is almost here, knocking on LUMI's door.

[Inspiration | Musing] When The Heart No Longer Feels

Stranded, lost and deserted, the heart has left its place. She seems to wander, in the wildest imaginations, through distances of traveling, but can never really leave its rightful place for responsibilities become her closest friend. Faded, one could almost feel the emptiness and the weight of mundane ordinaries. How much can a heart take? Can she be drowned? Washed and sun-dried again to recapture her beauty and youthfulness? Perhaps not, but she can at least be forever immortalised. 

The heart weakens ... the love takes on a different form - stealth and invisible, almost non-existence. How long should this be going on?
