Summer holiday has started that I'd have a bit more time for some decent writing. A couple of topics that I need to write - Fours Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, Beijing trip 2012, my Ted Baker handbag, my recent wine class with BBR, Kate Spade Summer 2012 etc. All these will fill my August.
Looking forward to these.

The Little Black Jacket Chanel's Classic Revisited
Chanel正在上環舉行一個名為「The Little Black Jacket Chanel's Classic Revisited」的攝影展覽，展出超過100張由 Chanel 藝術總監 Karl Lagerfeld 拍攝、由不同的人穿著Chanel Little Black Jacket 的照片。展覽目的是展示這經典的 Little Black Jacket 是適合不同年齡、性別及性格，及在不同場合穿著的。
在眾多照片中，我最喜歡的是蒼井優及湯唯的照片。
訪客可以在參觀完畢之後帶走三張海報作為紀念品，包括湯唯、Cecile Cassel 及 Elisa Sednaoui。
展覽由即日至七月十六日假香港上環 The Space（地址：荷李活道210號）舉行，開放時間為上午十一時至晚上七時，免費入場。展覽的網址為 http://thelittleblackjacket.chanel.com ，網站內有開幕派對的花絮影片。
註：為甚麼在香港的展覽不准訪客拍照？台北 （http://midollisslin.pixnet.net/blog/post/30024585-chanel%E7%B6%93%E5%85%B8%E6%B0%B8%E5%AD%98%7Cthe-little-black-jacket） 的好像可以啊！

evie makeup remover and gentle cleansing form
我想近日最紅的護膚品牌，是evie 莫屬。evie 並非大品牌，沒有鋪天蓋地的廣告宣傳，今天的成績都是靠口碑！
evie make up remover (HK$320, 180ml) 比另一S品牌的卸妝油好多了，用後皮膚不會繃緊，可以用於普通的眼妝 (就是眼影加液狀眼線都可以)。老生常談，卸妝油並非潔面產品，卸妝之後一定要潔面！
品牌旗下有兩款潔面產品，我選了gentle cleansing foam (HK$320, 180ml) 是因為售貨員的介紹，但我已經忘了原因！雖然產品叫做cleansing foam，但因為沒有加入起泡劑，所以是不會起泡的，也就不會令皮膚繃緊。美中不足的是那個瓶口的設計不太理想，造成浪費。
品牌產品現在在mimingmart生活百貨及harvey nichols有售，價錢應該是一樣，但是在mimingmart生活百貨購買可以儲積分，harvey nichols就甚麼優惠都沒有了。
下次再談其他我使用過的evie 產品。

my first myluxbox
the power of public relations - i read an article in iMoney which tempted me to give it a try!
definitely good news for the ladies - now we do not have to make purchases without trying a product (i am not talking about TESTING the product at the counter). you can opt for paying a small sum of money to get 4-6 samples of cosmetics and skincare products which are picked by the vendor. the size of the samples is good enough for you to use for a few times.
it's not something brand new and apart from myluxbox, where i got my "first box", there are some other vendors offering similar experience to customers and one of them is glamabox, which is founded by Lisa S. both vendors charge HK$108 per box, with some discounts if you commit for a few months or more.
the workflow is pretty straight forward - you first have to register at the website, fill in personal particulars and also skincare profile, pay for paypal, then the box will be sent to your address.
the first box that i had was for May which has 6 products in total, you can find the details here.
the box also comes with a card with details of the products in the box, and also the prices of the "real" products.
i am getting another box from myluxbox for June, and i am considering to get one from glamabox for july, so i can make comparison.
one point to note is that myluxbox has extended the offerings to men and mum & baby.

Pedicure - Nail Nail
Pedicure這回事，我一向是光顧酒店的spa的，但由於時間配合不了，上星期便去了又一城PS Group旗下的Nail Nail。
服務方面真的普普通通，修甲師粗魯之餘又把工具隨處放，本來拍了照的，但是之後電話壞了，修理之後如果相片還在，再和大家分享。而且一班修甲師聚在一起便懶理客人的存在，說是說非，當日她們談的就是某某要墮胎。
ok當然一分錢一分貨，miss p妳不是認為妳付一個較低的價錢但可以有酒店水準的服務嗎？當然不是！Nail Nail 基本修甲的價錢是$360，但加上小腿磨沙的$240，總數就是$600。我平常光顧The Mira是$440，The Bliss是$595+10%，而且兩家都有小腿按摩，加上之前可以使用spa的設施例如sauna等等，Nail Nail是沒有的。你說Nail Nail是不是貴得不合理？
不想去酒店？中環的Iyara的收費是$350，Indulgence是$420，選擇多的是，何必去Nail Nail？

Murad
當我前天在Joyce Beauty看不見Murad的蹤跡，我真的叫了一句：「大鑊。」
在好一段日子以前已經寫過Murad的產品，有好些產品我現在還有用，不過究竟是哪一種產品會令我覺得「大鑊」呢？
就是Acne Body Wash。
在夏天來臨之際，才買不到這個沒有代替品的產品，除了「大鑊」之外，我想不到可以形容我感受的詞語。
我急不及待地在網上找到代理的電話，才知道Murad在 iSquare 和新蒲崗的 Mikiki 開了店，店的名字是Acca Kappa / H & Beauty。
我昨天就去了買東西了，令我喜出望外的是價錢比2008年的時候還要低，那時的售價是$395，現在是$350。但是我不得不贊成 Joyce Beauty 讓香港人認識及信任這個品牌，所以mark up都挺合理的。

Arts Faculty, The University of Hong Kong
I believe many Arts alumni of the University of Hong Kong would share my feeling - the Main Building is the best home for the Faculty.
I'm glad that I am one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity of having classes in this heritage building.
I'm blessed.
