There was a time when all I wanted was lipstick. It was like an itch that I couldn’t get rid of and I felt the urge to purchase every single lipstick that I laid my eyes on. After half a year of going absolutely nuts over lipsticks, I finally got bored of it….and I stopped …
It has been a whirlwind week here in the House of Platt. It felt like we were moving from 0 to 100 as soon as we woke up in the morning until we lay down to sleep at night. The good news is we have finally settled into the new home, the last box was unpacked …
Vichy has been a brand that has long been featured here and long time readers will remember that I had amazing experiences with most of their products. That said, the recently revamped cult favourite Idéalia range (reviewed here) was a hit and miss for me, more specifically I wished they would have left the moisturizers alone because the old …
I made no secret about being all shopped-out, saled-out all over my social medias. My bank account is begging and waving the white flag but….when there is a brilliant, fabulous sale to be shared, I just have to do it.

I feel like it has been forever since I last featured something from the drugstore. I believe I reviewed Almay mascara sometime mid last year? So today I thought I would show you guys a few drugstore products that are new to my stash. This will not be a review post, it is just a …
Essence is a brand that has me extremely curious for the longest time. I have read countless beauty blogs that offered rave reviews on the brand and from what I gathered, the price point is much lower than NYX. It got me wondering if that is even possible? Can anything that cheap be that good? …
