Just Peachy: A Review Of Etude House’s Play Color Eyes Peach Farm Eyeshadow Palette

When it comes to being adorable, no one does it better than Etude House. They rock the cutesy, kawaii look better than any other (big) K-beauty brand, imho.

Stick It & See: A Review Of Banila Co’s Miss Flower & Mr Honey Essence Stick

A little while back, I became really quite obsessed with the Banila Co. Miss Flower & Mr Honey Essence Oil.

On Thursday night, we returned from an epic jaunt across a few oceans (I’m being deliberately vague on that one because my geography ain’t so great. But oceans were definitely involved).

Bae in a Cushion: Nature Republic’s Nature Origin Cushion CC Natural

If you know anything about me, you’ll know that I love lemon tarts. That is no lie! You know, when I first moved to Malaysia, I was astounded — astounded — at the severe lack of citrus-based deserts here. It’s ridic, and it does not please me. Not one bit. I guess the only saving grace…

Hey friends, So a few weeks back, I decided to hop on a plane and make my way to Korea. I’d missed it for too long, and it was really getting the better of me. I’m always craving Korean food (in fact, I think I might have it for lunch today), I missed the kids…

A Little Review of Missha The Style Beautiful Tint (Yes, That’s the Name)

When I was teaching English in Korea, I also had to teach elementary school students along with the cute kindergarten kids. This happened in the afternoon, after having taught what felt like a lifetime with energetic (but adorable) young children, and so there often wasn’t much gas left in the tank for these guys. So,…
