under £10: MUA Undress Me (Too)

  • 30.4.14
[MUA Undress Me Too | MUA Undress Me] I'm sorta, maybe, kinda an eyeshadow snob. After trying too many drugstore offerings that just didn't live up to the standard, I started dismissing the cheaper, high street offerings. I was wrong. I know, I know, the MUA Undress Me and Undress Me Too have been in the game too long. But I didn't jump on the bandwagon with...

the game changers

  • 28.4.14
I have a lot more makeup than any sane person should ever have. But you know what they say, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to get a prince (unless he's lost and refuses to ask for directions...but that's another issue). Today, I'm sharing with you the cream of the crop, or if you want to be fancy, the créme de...

April Favourites 2014

  • 27.4.14
[Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation | Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade | Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Paint | Milani Baked Blush | Clinique Cheek Pop | Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio | L'Oreal False Lash Flutter] Between traveling, waiting for decisions that would have impact on future plans, and prepping for exam session, I'd have to say April was a pretty good month. I have also fallen...

the birthday wishlist

  • 25.4.14
It's that time of the year again for me. Almost 365 days has passed since the annual celebration of my birth. I don't know if it's because of my shopping craze in the past couple months or what, but I actually had a bit of a struggle putting together this list. It could also be a sign that I already have more things...

under £10: lipcote

  • 23.4.14
I surely can't be the only girl out there that would rather skip applying lipstick than being paranoid all day, wondering if there's that tell-tale lipstick ring left after every sip of water or every bite of cake. If so, then you're welcome in advance for the thanks that you're going to be praising after I tell you the wonders of lipcote.  I...

the periwinkle blues

  • 21.4.14
I don't care if radiant orchard is the colour of the year, my pick (at least for this season) is definitely periwinkle blue. The purpley blue is the perfect combination of once my two favourite colours (I think that title is green's to claim at the moment).  I don't care if radiant orchard is the colour of the year, my pick (at least...

[the update] pancakes and a package #30/31

  • 20.4.14
To those that celebrate it, happy easter! To those that don't, well, you don't need an excuse to munch on some chocolate bunnies (or if you don't like the idea of ripping a bunny's ear off, then I guess you could go for normal chocolate).  To those that celebrate it, happy easter! To those that don't, well, you don't need an excuse to...

under £10: the body shop facial massage

  • 16.4.14
Never in a million years would I thought I'd have one of these facial massage/torture devices in my possession. My mom has a slight obsession with these things, but I never gave them much thought - Really, how much of a difference does it make? I am so glad to be proved wrong.  Never in a million years would I thought I'd have...

the post-travel skin detox

  • 14.4.14
When travel packing, skincare is the first thing I skimp on. A small, usually ineffective cleanser, and a small sample of a random moisturizer, that's most likely what the travel skincare is going to be consisted of. Especially when I'm bringing half of my makeup collection. I should know better. The consequence? Several of under the skin bumps, a couple of blemishes, and a shed-load...

Currently Loving #8

  • 13.4.14
Another Sunday, which means another brunch day. Unless you're like me and refuse to leave the bed until after 11, and then spend the day mucking around, ignoring responsibilities. That's what Sundays are for, right?  Another Sunday, which means another brunch day. Unless you're like me and refuse to leave the bed until after 11, and then spend the day mucking around, ignoring...

packaging matters

  • 11.4.14
Let's face it. Packaging matters. Sure, the actual product inside is important, and we're not supposed to judge a book by its cover. But sometimes, a pretty box is better than an ol' shoe box. The same goes for makeup. Sure, I'll still buy the product if I hate the packaging, but only if it's brilliant and/or I can depot the thing. Otherwise, chances...

under £10: the perfect flick

  • 9.4.14
The cat eye. The flick. The look that's absolutely gorgeous and can transform a look but is probably one of the most difficult tasks in the world of makeup. How people can get their flicks symmetrical is beyond my comprehension. I had given up on the aspiration of ever achieving the task, and then I found the L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim.  The...

[The Update] Belgium and Horses #28/29

  • 8.4.14
Oh, the past week! Where do I even start? I'm sure some of you already know this, but I have a flatmate that's from Belgium and joined at the hip, partners in crime, I spent the better part of the week staying at his place while visiting the village. Oh, the past week! Where do I even start? I'm sure some of you...

the travel makeup bag

  • 7.4.14
When this post goes up, I'll most likely be in the forests of Belgium trying to make friends with a deer or a bunny. You know, pretending to be Snow White. Not my favourite disney princess, but I don't think Ariel would have been able to survive in the forest. While I'm planning on spending a lot of time coaxing that squirrel out...

[the video] I Heart Spring tag

Spring is here! Probably my second favorite season, right after Winter. I know, I'm one of those weird people. What better way to start a new quarter year than a seasonal tag?  Spring is here!

[the review] Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes

  • 4.4.14
Ah, Tarte, the brand that is no longer unobtainable to the UK market and I won't feel so bad for singing its praises. I have a small collection of products from the brand but my most reached for and probably the prettiest things I have in the whole of my makeup collection has got to be the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush.  ...

under £10: the MAC 217 dupe

  • 2.4.14
Ah, the infamous MAC 217. Probably the most hyped up brush in the blogging world, and a rightly deserved one at that. This is the brush that got me into eyeshadow as it just made the application so darn easy. It's one of those 'do it all' brushes, from color placing to crease defining, and of course, blending, you can get your eyeshadow...

an announcement: if you want a glimpse of my life

  • 1.4.14
I know, I don't usually post Tuesdays, but this announcement couldn't fit into my regular schedule, hence the impromptu post. I finally decided to start a personal blog where I can try and figure out what the mess in my head means. Although I doubt I'll get anywhere.  ...
