Parfumerie d’Exception

The other day we were walking around AlHamra Mall, when we came across a fragrance and beauty boutique called Parfumerie d’Exception. The hard to pronounce boutique is a new fragrance concept  store launched by Beidoun Trading Company. I was quite impressed by the elegant interior and the selection in-store. According to the salesperson, the boutique combines 24 of the world’s top niche fragrance brands, all new to Kuwait and all exclusive to Parfumerie d’Exception.

Although I should be highlighting my favorite perfume, what really caught my attention is a make-up brand called BECCA, I've heard great reviews about the quality of this brand. For example, while most cosmetic companies offer 3 to 7 concealer colors, the BECCA range features no less than 34 concealer colors and 30 foundation colors, enabling ALL women to achieve a flawless look and finding the right shade, a problem which I have been struggling with on-and-off depending on time of the year. Weird I know!

The store also had a selection of scented candles, which make great gift ideas! I also loved the look of uniquely handcrafted perfume bottles by a brand called Agonist, a Swedish niche brand specializing in “unique fragrances embraced by handcrafted Swedish glass”, they really look like glass art, scroll down to see what I mean! I wouldn't mind having them displayed in my living room as part of the interior. Forgot to ask about their priced though.

Parfumerie d’Exception is located at the Grand Avenues and Al Hamra Mall (in the basement).

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
