Hi Huneybees,
Nothing thrills me more than a Christmas party of beauty galore! Before I flew to NZ, I was invited to the Sephora's Christmas Bardock Boudoir preview. Lady Barock is here to show us what to expect for the coming month!
Before I head on spamming you with all the beauty "candies", here's a little intro of the new collections and who is Lady Barock?
"A wild New Year's Eve Party is in full swing, punctuated by high spirits and peals of laughter. The venue is a poptastic neo-boudoir that flouts convention and reinvents us as a fantasy heroine: this is the home of the brazen beauty of rock 'n' roll, Lady Barock.
As Mistress of Ceremonies and high priestess of the festivities and the beauty of anticipation, Lady Barock welcomes her guests into the most sumptuous BAROCK Boudoir imaginable. Lady Barock aka Marie-Anotoinette 3.0 cuts an extra-terrestrial figure. The many faces of femme fatale glam...
A goth rock powdered wig adds to the allure of her translucent complexion. Perched by her side is her faithful companion, a splendid Cockatoo. She is whatever she wants to be, not afraid to embrace her contrasts!"
So, come, step into the chicest, most opulent Rock Party of the holiday season! Lady Barock's extravagant life-size boudoir oozes excess, glittering with constellations of magically twinkling stars in a mash-up of 18th century and avant-garde gone wild!
The Christmas collection includes glitter eye liners, temporary tattoo for face and body, glittering eye shadows, lipgloss in the shape of a disco ball, false lashes, body moisturizer, body scrub, scented spray, bubble bath, body sparkle, etc...
One of the highlight would have to be this Makeup Academy Palette. It has to be every makeup fanatic's dream! Other than opening up like a staircase, you can find almost every single shade of eyeshadow and lipcolour, coming complete with a mirror and applicators.

| 72 eyeshadows, 18 lip gloss, 7 blush, 18 creamy eyeliners, 3 concealers, 1 eye primer and 1 lip primer. |
Other than just the Sephora in-house label, there were more from the brands that they carry. Urban Decay not only introduced their new Vice 2 palette, which I've been using alot lately, they also introduced their other products like the glitter eyeliner - Urban Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner and Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder for Face and Body.
The party girl in me couldn't get more excited than glitter makeup and it was lovely to have Steve Kassajikian around to help me with it!
For Stila, they have decided to bring us back to school on a art class. Everything inspired by art, you can simply look at bringing your very own "watercolour palette" everywhere you go!
Even Burt's Bees and fresh has their very own Christmas packaging and gift sets. Just aren't they lovely gifts?
Bare Minerals, which are well known for their foundation and flawless face finish has got me hooked onto their new holographic lipstick! Sadly, it won't be sold seperately, but I guess a girl can never have enough of her eyeshadows and mascaras eh?
Here's more brands and I will be reviewing some of the products in the upcoming posts:
Bliss
Makeup Forever
Repetto
NYX
Soap & Glory
Too Faced has been a favourite brand of mine. Their eye primer are simply lovely and if you see their upcoming Christmas lovelies this year, you would be yearning like I did! :)
Tarte (I've missed out this booth as they were already packing up, so I have some pictures here taken from
Nadia aka nadnut). After hearing so much about this brand, I am super happy they are finally here!
Living Proof
Alterna Haircare

Here's my pic with Michael Shaun Corby, the global creative director of Alterna Haircare.
He is on Project Runway All Stars Season 3 as Alterna is the official hair sponsor! |
I was a little too late when I reached this booth. They have already started packing, but come on, with Katie Holmes as the "Covergirl", how can you not feel pampered like a star eh?
For nails, you girls would be familiar with brands like Ciaté, Nails Inc and Butter London. You are in for a treat this Christmas!
Nails Inc have this beautiful nail tips for you to paste and go for parties within minutes, the new Gel finishing nail polishes, foil nail polishes and Fibre Optic glitter nail polishes.
This 12 mini bottles of Nail Inc nail polishes are definitely there to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas with you, featuring their top sellers like their signature feather nail polishes.
Butter London has 6 new shades and hopefully when I get them, I can swatch them for you to see!
Ciaté has an extensive range like the Advent Calender that would surprise you with a nail polish every day in December and the one that I loved most would have to be the metallic 3D caviar nail set. The ball bearings are bigger and slightly heavier, but they are simply gorgeous!
Well, do stay tuned as I will be reviewing the products given to us by the lovely people of Sephora. I've tried some of them whilst I was in NZ. Can't wait to share!
