THE OLD VS NEW EDITION: ECOTOOLS POWDER BRUSHES

“Because you don’t have enough makeup brushes, right?” That was what Mr. Platt said to me when I told him I had to buy a new makeup brush in order for me to complete this post. This time I do have a solid reason why I needed to buy the ‘older‘ version of Ecotools powder brush. You …

MY FAVOURITE MAKEUP BRUSHES

This post is sooooo long overdo that it’s to the point of embarrassing. Let’s take a moment and ponder why the heck I even bother to call myself a beauty blogger when it took me a year to finally get on schedule to all my highly requested posts? Truthfully, blogging provides me with the perfect …

A BOOST OF HYDRATION WITH DRAGON’S BLOOD AND BEE VENOM?

After two years of living in Canada, I must say I am still not used to how quickly the weather changes. One minute I am out and about in shorts and bitching about the freaking heat and suddenly within the next blink of an eye, I have to bundle up whenever I leave the house. …

REVIEW: DR. HAUSCHKA NIGHT SERUM

Today’s review is on a product which had me re-evaluating my whole night time routine. I have been faithful to my evening skincare routine since I hit the big 3-0 and after that many years of sticking to what I know, it’s almost impossible to stray away.

FASHION FRIDAY: RECENT FASHION HAULS

I can’t remember when was the last time I did a Fashion Friday post…maybe earlier in the year? My horrid ability to keep up and maintain any new series that I attempt on the blog is the main reason why I am so hesitant to write an empties post. You’ll be lucky to see it twice a year….and being …

REVIEW: LE VOLUME DE CHANEL MASCARA

Let me clarify myself…no, I did not go all foofoo on anyone’s arse and decided that drugstore mascaras are just not good enough for me anymore. I’m a drugstore girlie, always has been and always will be but every now and then, I struck gold and managed to get my hands on a high end sample. This …

REVIEW: MAYBELLINE LASH STILETTO (WATERPROOF)

I have been on a recent mascara craze…well, craze as in reading up and doing plenty research on what mascara that should go into my Buy List next month. I wish I could literally go mascara crazy as in buying each and every one that I have my eyes on but Kevin would probably frown on that. …
