This is my beauty blog, there are many beauty blogs but this one is mine.
My name's Delphine and I'm a thirty something, mom of three. Need to know more? read on and hang on tight, the road's been bumpy lately but there's smooth paved road up ahead.
I'll have a picture of me up here at some point and maybe some more talk to entertain you.

Shu Uemura’s Summer 2008 collection, Hana-Bi
Hana-Bi, Japanese for fireworks, literally translated as flower-fire! Isn’t that awesome…?! In Japan there’s always a link to nature and with summertime almost here, it’s time for Shu Uemura’s limited edition collection. Every year a festive array of beauty items are selected to commemorate Mr. Uemura’s 1983 opening of the beauty boutique in Omotesando, [...]
I’m in the mood to celebrate the life of a very special man. Yves Saint Laurent left his mark on the world of beauty and fashion. Saint Laurent’s pantsuits were liberating and turned women’s work and recreational wear into high-fashion power wear.
YSL also created cosmetics and fragrance that was very popular with the YUPPIE set when I was growing up. [...]
Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, so what will you be doing for dear old dad? I have the kids drawing pictures for daddy and Grandpa but couldn’t bring myself to buy another tie… sooo, I’m looked at Father’s Day stuff for him that I can enjoy too.
I considered all the same things you probably have, dvds? no, we have [...]
John Varvatos has been on the fashion scene for quite some time now, to capitalize on that success, JV has now splashed into the fragrance arena. There is men’s fragrance available but I don’t know much about that. My hubby has made it pretty clear that he wants to pick out his own fragrance and that’s just [...]
I recently had the chance to interview Perfumista Denise Estrada on her new store, Melange, in Sherman Oaks, California. 70 + fragrances and essential oils are readily available to sniff, blend and play with. Blend to your heart’s content to create body oil, exfoliating wash, bath salts, and eau de parfum, [...]
Sheer Color! Fabulous Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in POP. The good part, an ultra moisturizing gloss, it provides beautiful sheer color, the shine is fab – not too much, just right. Wear it alone or over lipstick.
The bad part, the scent is that of vanilla and in case it isn’t clear I can not in good [...]
Mother’s Day or Mothers’ Day?
Do you gift moms that you know from around the way? or just your own mom? In the past I have gifted a little something to moms that I know may not get anything because their husband is away, kids are too young, or that are older and give me [...]

Something making me very happy this season is Escada’s Signature Fragrance for Women. I’ve always been curious about Escada, it’s been around forever and always makes it mark on the times. Most of the times it’s for their fashions on and off the runway and red carpet but the fact is Escada fragrances are equally deserving.
Signature is a [...]

A beauty blog fairytale...
Once upon a time, not too long ago, a lady was tired of talking heads that didn't get her lifestyle. She longed for one place where she could record her thoughts on the many wonderful products that came into her life and made it better (or worst).
Far from obsessive, cosmetics are only an enhancement to an already full fruitful life.
Originally inspired by the tea she drank and steeped constantly, now the best part of waking up is a steamy, frothy espresso. So she may be a little fickle with her beverages!
Steeping Beauty has a soft spot for all things beautiful.
- skincare
- fragrance
- hair care
- nails
As well as all things culturally significant to her favorite far far away lands... France, Brazil, Japan, USA. Let's see where this less than perfect princess will step...
xoxo
