An ode to Indian Beauty

Yousef Al-Taher has graciously shared with us his favorite moments during Paris Haute Couture Week, but now it’s time to shift our focus from Paris to Delhi, where six day long annual Pearls Delhi Couture Week has begun a few days ago, showcasing the collections of well-known designers like Manish Malhotra and JJ Valaya.

And since M.A.C is the official Hair and Makeup sponsor of Pearl’s Delhi Couture Week, you will get insight on the latest beauty trends highlighted by their top-tier makeup artists headed by Mickey Contractor, MAC Director of Makeup Artist and Vimi Joshi, M.A.C Senior Artist.

So let’s start with Manish Malhotra’s show, how this look relates to M.A.C's AW10 trends? “This look is Bollywood glamour meets Spanish flamenco”. Expressed Vimi. “If M.A.C’s satin eye trend married the red velvet trend, this look would be their creative collaboration, it’s eyes and lips”.

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?
