So November, you gave me a good week with three really stressful ones. The past 31 days wasn't particularly good, nor was it bad - there were some great days and other days that I'd just like to wipe from memory, but overall, I'd say it all balances out. The same can't be said for makeup picks though, it was overall pretty good...

As much as I love my best friend, sometimes travelling with a guy is a hinderance when it comes to throwing money at makeup. While I knew that he wouldn't object to lingering around the stands as I umm and ahh over the display of beauty products, there’s the simple fact that guys just don't know where makeup shopping could take place.  ...

I never thought I would want the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics. I didn’t even blink when I saw the official photos of the palette, I didn’t even want to waste a scoff at the idea of another addition to the Naked family when every other blogger started writing poems about it. I thought Urban Decay was overplaying the Naked angle and new...

I'm a city girl. I've always lived smack in the middle of the city, or just right outside and never more than five minutes away from the busiest area. But boy, am I glad to be nowhere near the hubbub for once. I'm taking a break from the neon lights and escaping to the quiet village parts of Belgium.  I'm a city girl....

I was never really into sharp liners. I liked the smudgable pencils, the hazier the look, the more soft and sexy it was, the more I liked the look. And then as always, I suddenly changed my mind one day and decided that flicked liner was going to be my thing.  I was never really into sharp liners. I liked the smudgable pencils,...

Also known as 'the video where I go from slightly delirious to straight out crazy'. I know, I've been absent without warning for a week, I really didn't plan for it to go this way but I was caught up in school and didn't have time to queue up posts. But I specifically made a video for you guys to make up for...

Other than the one time I had my bangs (or fringe) chemically permed stick straight (terrible mistake), I've had naturally wavy hair ever since puberty kicked in. It's happened several too many times - my hairdresser would spend ages blowdrying my hair, I'd go outside and ten minutes later, it's the wavy mess that it was before. My hair is just about as...

It's almost cliche to start this post with the photo that I have attached, but allow me that freedom for a post. November has never been a standout month for me, it'd have it's moments but it would never be as routinely stressful as Junes, or as eventful as Julys, or as stressful as Octobers. Novembers were always that quiet month when life...

The blog is a facade. I'm apparently pretty weird when it comes to real life. What do you mean you don't burst out laughing at how angry and indignified this wet koala looks a couple months after you saw it the first time? I think this has been the case since I was a child. Three things I wanted for as long as...

If there's one thing I really don't like, it's sounding like a broken record. I hate sounding repetitive to a point where I've been known to type up a paragraph-length text to paraphrase "are you feeling better?" The same goes to the products I feature on the blog - I'll be typing up a post and then head-desking at how much like a...

It feels slightly weird and inappropriate to start off the week talking about my trash, but let's roll with it. I always forget to do empties posts as I don't have a tendency to keep my trash lying around for too long. But this time around, I knew I was going to run out of a couple things around the same time so...

October was definitely a busy and exciting 31 days. Between school and my personal life, I had one hell of a ride. Things in the beauty department was definitely more muted compared to the dynamics in the other spheres but these are the good ones.  October was definitely a busy and exciting 31 days. Between school and my personal life, I had one...
