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. Back when I was in Korea, Etude House always stood out thanks to their BRIGHT pink house-like exterior. Every Etude House store looked like Barbie’s Dream House,…
Rainy Day Beauty Gems
Today, a rainy Saturday, I decided to declutter. As a known beauty hoarder hoarder, it’s really hard for me to downsize. I just find such an emotional attachment tucked within every inanimate object I own, it seems. I remember when I got it, how I was feeling then, who gave it to me, where were…
Social Media & Your Brain
I’ve never been one for social media. Even in our “influencer” culture, where it’s all about IG and stories and snaps and bibbidy boo’s, it’s always kinda been a drain for me. Something I will perhaps deign to do for a specific purpose, but otherwise would much rather avoid like the plague. The reason isn’t…
September Beauty & Art Faves
I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for favourites posts. Whether on blogs, YT channels or elsewhere, a convenient, bite-sized round up of useful/enjoyable products is always interesting to find out about. I’ve actually discovered a lot of my own favourite books/beauty products/artists this way, and so I felt it was only right…
A Little Glossier Goes a Long, Long Way
You’ve probably heard of Glossier by now. If not… I don’t really know what to do with you, honestly. Even for someone a bit ~out of touch~ as myself, Glossier has the sort of reach that I will find out about it, and I will hunt it down, even when it’s unavailable in my home country. And…
Battle of the Highlighters: Fenty Beauty, The Balm & Nature Republic
Every now and then, it’s good to give in to the hype. That’s what they teach you in high school, right? Peer pressure and all that! And the internet certainly makes that remarkably easy. While I’m pretty good at resisting products, sometimes my brain glitches and I just hand over my money (digitally, of course) to…
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. I actually recently stumbled upon a hoarded one in my stash (yas!) and quickly and thoroughly used it up in record time (d’oh). So I made the controversial decision to move onto the Banila Co….
Scrub The Day Away With L’Occitane’s Almond Shower Scrub
I’ve never really been into scrubs. I always felt like it was a black or white thing: you’re either in or you’re out. Kind of the same with Thai massages: either you love your limbs being swiftly dislocated from your body one after the other… or you don’t. Being more of a gentle oil massage kind of…
How Fenty Beauty’s Galaxy Collection Finessed Me
Who doesn’t love Riri? And by Riri I obviously mean queen bee badgyal Rihanna. Say what you will about her live prowess (which have come a long way since she opened for Jay-Z back in 2006), these days Rih’s a force of nature. She’s evolved, she’s grown, and there’s something about her 100% DGAF attitude which just…
Saturday Six: Jeans, Fake Nails & Banila Co.
Another Saturday, another round up of my favourites of the week. This week has been rather chilled out — a little bit in-between you could say. But throughout it all, I kept tabs on what I was liking and loving, so I could give you the DL on what’s taken my fancy in recent days.
