The Monthly Recap, My 100 follower giveaway winner, (and an embarrassing confession)

  • 31.8.13
I've decided that this will now be a thing. At the end of each month, I'll be gathering together the top five posts of the month and shove them in your face just in case you missed out. So just in case you were off on vacation, or wasn't part of the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Life experience yet, here's what happened on this...

The Skincare Tag

  • 30.8.13
So. I was more than hesitant to do this tag because I don't feel like I'm anywhere near boarder line qualified to do anything related to skincare. BUT I was tagged by Zoe and Megan, two very lovely ladies, and I do feel that my skin has been improving quite a bit in the past couple of months, so I'm braving this tag.  So. I...

The Radiant Glow

  • 28.8.13
If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that I go through a lot of phases. I used to crave a matte finish like it was no one's business. Anything that would oil control and leave me with a face matter than a concrete road (what even), it would definitely be on my wish list.  If you've been reading my...

Starting Out: Skincare

  • 27.8.13
After chatting with a couple makeup shy friends, I've been itching to do a "starter makeup kit" series for a while now. But stumbling upon #theSOproject tag on twitter, and a slight nudge from other bloggers, I decided to take part in the series. #theSOproject, or officially known as the Starting Out Project, was created by Stephanie over at Steph's Inside Voice. Spanning over...

Bright Eyed

  • 26.8.13
Let's face it - getting eight hours of sleep is a luxury. These days, I mostly roll out of bed after hitting the snooze button a few to many times. Never mind feeling perky and alive, it's miraculous if I'm able to talk to you before my morning coffee. Well, that said, I can actually "talk" to you, I'm just not to be...

[Guest Post] The Confessions of a Parisian Obsessive

  • 25.8.13
Eeek!  Can you tell that I'm really excited for this guest post? I've been fangirling over Parisian To Be ever since I first stumbled upon it several months back. It's chic, it's witty, and Lillian is an absolutely doll who knows what she's talking about! I needed to have her on my blog! I never really obsessed over the city, but Lillian has...

Bronze and Corals (FOTD #3)

  • 23.8.13
After the wallet-breaking haul, I've been testing out a lot of my new products and have been sticking to a simple routine for the past week, as it's just one of those weeks where you can't find any motivation. Nothing. Zip. Nada. But I've been really liking this look, simple neutral eye look providing a blank canvas for me to play with lip...

I'm 22, and I've never had a boyfriend.

  • 21.8.13
Today's post is a lot different from the norm, and I've had long debates with myself on whether I should post this or not. But I've heard stories over the past couple of weeks where some girls were feeling insecure over not having a boyfriend, so I thought I'd share my story. I'm not someone that easily opens up to people, but you...

The Weekend Haul (and a declaration)

  • 19.8.13
It's like I have no impulse control. As I literally have no time to shop during the weekdays, when the weekend comes around and I drag myself out of the house, it's like I'm on a mission to see how quickly I can spend all the cash in my wallet. Since they're in my ever-growing stash, I thought I'd show you guys the...

[Review] MAC See Sheer

  • 16.8.13
Hi, my name's Daphne and I'm a converted lip junkie. A month ago, I had a measly Lip Butter stash with two colors, one I didn't touch, and the other only applied once. But then something in me snapped and I picked up a MAC lipstick. And then I got two more. And then I got a couple more from Revlon, but that's...

Back to the 80s

  • 14.8.13
I remember when I was a 9 and preparing to go to my friend's birthday sleep over, my mom handed me my backpack, the present with a huge pink bow, a bag of snacks, and a ziplock bag of some of her regrettable makeup purchases. Of course, I didn't know they were regrettable at the time, I was just completely fascinated by the...

The Neutrals

  • 12.8.13
I remember my first eyeshadow palette. It was a trio from Maybelline that had a pastel green, pastel yellow, and pastel purple. It was fun, it was pretty, and I thought that it was a palette that I would be able to use every day. And maybe because I was 15, I did try to rock that easter egg look...once. Before reason hit...

Witnessing History in the Making

  • 7.8.13
I know, I know. I'm sure some of you are already sick and tired about me not shutting up about the World Records, but it's just too cool. I'm personally not a big facial person, as of date. But I'm not writing that into stone as I change my mind quite easily.  Anyway, back to July 28th, the day I took part in the official...

Coral Kisses

  • 5.8.13
Ask me a month back, and I'd tell you that the last post I could imagine myself doing was one that only included lip products. I've been on and on about how I'm not a big fan of lip products for so many posts, you guys are probably wondering what the heck is wrong with me. I talked about the story a few...

[Review] Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Polishes in Meli Melon & Turquoise Block

  • 4.8.13
 Yeah, okay, you guys are probably sick of me talking about Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Polishes. I'd say I'm sick talking about them, but I'm not. They're just that good! They're the polishes I keep buying even though I keep telling myself to not buy nail polishes anymore since I'll have a hard time moving them across continents next month. I've been loving...

You know those weeks that just seem to drag on and you're not sure what's going on anymore? Yeah, it was one of those weeks. But the weekend's here, I had a lovely Saturday shopping with my mom. Retail therapy, that's the cure for an up and down week.  You know those weeks that just seem to drag on and you're not sure...

USA Beauty Swap

  • 1.8.13
You know how there are certain things you feel like you NEED to do to be part of a group?  International swaps was always one of those things on my list. I always thought that it would come probably a year later....or at least longer down the road. But Kallie was looking for a swap and I thought, why not?  So after countless...
