I must admit straight up front that I slept on this palette – it’s been out for a year already. If you know me, then you’ll know that I love a good eyeshadow palette, and a nude one is my jam. But this looked meh at first glance and to be honest, I haven’t been […]
My Korean Skincare Favourites
So, you know know the meme about influencers and skincare right? No? Here it is: In my defence, people actually DID ask my about my skincare routine, and have been doing so for years. That, and makeup. In fact it’s the reason why I started this blog. I love talking about makeup and skincare, but […]
Hello 2021
So, how was your 2020? *cue the awkward silence* What the hell happened? I have to admit, my 2019 wasn’t the best, and 2020 was going to be MY year. Well, that was an epic fail wasn’t it? It’s hard to put into words just how bad it was, so I’m not going to. I […]
A nude lipstick curation for fair to medium-deep skin tones
One of the reasons I started my blog, apart from my love of makeup and skincare, was that people would ask me what I was wearing and what would suit them. Yep, actual in person reviews. How 1980! One of my favourite people, Claire (last name withheld – you know who you are), has beautiful […]

It, and Loreal have had to make some pretty huge changes over the last few years in order to stay competitive in the marketplace, with new and upcoming brands offering amazing quality and better prices. Both brands […]
Lancome Absolue Precious Cells Intense Revitalising Day Cream and Recovery Night Cream
I’m a fan of Lancome from way back. If you know me well, then you’ll know my first makeup product I ever bought was a Lancome lipstick when I was 12 years old. The sight of the Lancome rose brings back some happy memories for me and that lipstick was a luxe purchase that I […]

Makeup Revolution is a brand that I’m coming to really enjoy lately, having recently delved into some of their products. One of the things that I like about them is that the collaborate with influencers that aren’t necessarily the ones you see on the daily. I had heard about the amazing collab between Makeup Revolution […]
