I did a video review of the ELF Purple Perfection kit, and this is the look that I came up with. Using all the shadows together was just too much shimmer for my taste, nor should I achieve the smokey look achieved on the box. Whether it’s my skin tone or just a lack of [ Read More ]
Face of the Day: Purple Perfection
Review: E.L.F. Purple Perfection Kit
I found this kit in the beauty section at Winners and thought I’d share my thoughts on it.
FotD: Purple, Purple Everywhere!
After spending so much time on my hair today, I just wanted something to do something simple. I love using monochromatic schemes, especially when there is a wide range of shades used. Face Revlon PhotoReady Foundation / 008 Golden Beige & 010 Caramel MAC Eye Shadow / Suspicion (brows) MAC Brow Set / Clear MAC [ Read More ]
First Experience With Hana Professional
Yesterday evening I decided to break in the flat iron that I received from Misikko. This is just my first experience with the product, and I will do a full review after I’ve used it a few more times. I figured that since my hair was already product rich, it was pointless to wash it [ Read More ]
Haul: Specktra Finds
Now some of you might be wondering why I’ve got a haul posted, but I promise that I’m not cheating on my no-buy. I ordered everything before I decided to stem my purchases, but since I ordered online they just arrived recently. I was alerted to Pharaoh paint pot by a friend, and then ended [ Read More ]
Pressing Pigments: Tutorial
I first started talking about pressing pigments back in February. I’ve gone through a number of my pigments and pressed them, and it’s fantastic. It’s actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. I wish I’d started pressing sooner, I’m getting a lot more use out of my pigments now that I can [ Read More ]
Review: Revlon PhotoReady Foundation
Yesterday I filmed my first video review, and I actually like the format. Let me know what you think, if you have a preference for written reviews vs. video reviews. Thanks, and enjoy!
FotD: Peaches & Plums
This look was absolutely inspired by Tahnee from Shining Sttar. A few days ago she posted a fabulous look, and I absolutely loved it.. so this is my interpretation. I think peach and purple are a great colour combination, but it’s one of those that I don’t break out very often. I’ll put it down [ Read More ]
Stash: Eye Shadows & Pressed Pigments [M.A.C.]
This particular installment of my “stash” series is different for a few reasons. First, it’s featuring eye shadow – which is the heart and soul of my collection. By far it’s the biggest part of my stash, and my favourite by far. Second, there will be no swatches. This is because there are so many [ Read More ]
The Japanese Skincare Revolution
I’ve always loved reading and in that dreamiest of dream homes, I always imagined a giant library, the two floored type found in old manor houses. Despite that, I’ve never been a collector of books due to lack of space. I grew up as a regular visitor to the library, so if I wanted to [ Read More ]
