They are thinking of upping the ante for men's haute couture in Kuwait by dedicating a VM store exclusively for men. Rumour has it they may even have an entire floor of men's cosmetics/ toiletries and fragrances pour hommes. Already we are seeing the beginnings of a metrosexual revolution starting to happen, right here, in Kuwait with 20 something young lads wearing light blush-on and applying kohl and mascara to their eyes. A little birdie has let on that very soon they'd be launching their own line of parfums pour femme and pour homme but first they want to push a new range of lip gloss for rugged men.

Paris Gallery - the concept beauty & cosmetics store from Dubai, were planning on a Kuwait store opening through the VM vehicle. However, it would now seem as if their plans have gone south on them.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
