High Tea at The Ritz!

Hello beautiful strangers, happy leap day! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, the weather here in Hong Kong has been absolutely lovely. 

Last week I went for afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton hotel with my lovely friend Anna. The Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong, situated on the 102nd - 118th floor of the International Commerce Centre, is the highest hotel in the world. Afternoon tea is served at Cafe 103, 425m above sea level... and if that isn't High Tea, Idk what is.

Chanel Sunkiss Ribbon Blush ~ the most beautiful thing you'll see today

Hello beautiful strangers,

seeing as the weather is super gross in Hong Kong, here are some very overdue pictures of the limited edition Sunkiss Ribbon blush harmony to brighten up your day.



Chanel's exclusive creation for this Spring consists of five different colours in an intricate ribbon design creating a blush harmony that brightens your cheeks with a warm coral glow. The powder blush is smooth and blends out without looking patchy, one swipe of the brush over the blush gives me a warm natural flush while two gives a beautiful pop of colour. I've been wearing it all through the Chinese New Year and it adds warmth to my deadly pale complexion and a look of healthy radiance that does away with any signs of late nights and too much partying.



While the Sunkiss Ribbon blush comes with the very steep price tag of $540hkd ($70usd), it's absolutely massive with a net weight of 11g, compared to the standard 4g of Chanel's Joues Contraste blushes($395hkd). It comes with a slanted angle brush in it's own little velvet pouch as there isn't a slot for it in the compact. I've used the brush to apply and it does a very good job, and would make a great contour brush too.



I love the look of the Sunkiss Ribbon blush on my cheeks, but what excites me even more is that the beige ribbon makes the prettiest warm brown eyeshadow! Hopefully you can get an idea of what it looks like in the shifty-eye selfies below.
