Feeling behind with New Year’s Resolutions? Do Lifebook!
Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am going to write about a very important part of our lives: setting goals and intentions for our lives. We all have things we want to change, we all set some goals, and more often than not, we get frustrated or disappointed when we don’t reach them. As February has come, and a 1/12 of the new year has passed, perhaps it’s time to reflect on those goals. I will explain why New Year’s resolutions are not for me and things I am doing in order to improve my life. I am going to introduce you to Lifebook, if you haven’t heard…
2018 Beauty Favourites
Hello there! Where has this year gone? There have been so many interesting finds for me this year, some old, some new. Before all the New Year’s festivities, here is a small tribute to the products that have served me so well during 2018. Makeup All in all, I used many products both new and old releases, and I can say that I found myself using the old and trusted. I didn’t do it on purpose, I just think that I am not very easily moved by the trends. Let’s begin! Face For foundation, I used my trusty Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. It evens out my skin, it is lightweight, and…
The SUQQU Cheek Brush
In the beauty world, there is a legend that says there is a blush brush so soft, that it is like a kitten’s tail caressing your face, and you will not want to use any other blush brush again. Is the legend true? I’ll tell you in a minute… Welcome to the review of the Suqqu Cheek Brush. The Shape The SUQQU Cheek Brush is a small blush brush. It is a bit smaller than Chikuhodo’s Z4, but on the same ‘order of magnitude’. It has an oval top view, as the ferrule is a little pinched. Below you can see how it looks in front and sideways. The Make…
Lisa Eldridge True Velvet Lipsticks!
Lisa’s talent has shone again, this time with a limited edition lipstick line! The lipsticks are all matte, velvety and red. The innovative texture of the bullet is moulded in a way that it looks just like velvet. They are available individually or as a trio with a black velvet makeup bag, which you can buy separately if you wish. I have been following Lisa Eldridge for years on YouTube, and I can tell that my taste coincides with hers, at least 95% of the times. I knew that these lipsticks would be amazing, just because she puts her heart and soul in everything she does (like her jewellery line…
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 First Impressions
If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that I have stated that I would refrain from makeup purchases for half a year! I have been doing really well. I enjoy using the products I already have, or I have only bought what I was running out of, or that I found on a very good deal. However, all holidays makeup collections are out, and I thought I should treat myself a palette of powders from Hourglass. Hello, Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4! I have been wanting to get one of these palettes they do every Christmas. In fact, I wanted to try their classic Ambient Lighting palette, but I…

My skincare philosophy
When it comes to beauty products category, makeup is the first thing that comes to our minds. Indeed, makeup is something we see, in the sense that it adds paint on our faces, be it lipstick, blush or eyeliner. We have all been charmed by shimmery and glittery eyeshadows and fancy lip colours. However, there is a much more important category of products that belong to the beauty family, and that is the skincare products. I have broken down the components of my skincare, presenting you my skincare philosophy, and where I spend more or less money. Good skincare makes our faces glow from within. It helps bring out the…

If you really want to get in the autumn mood with your makeup, here is the palette for you: Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsessions palette.

You will like it if: You are into matte red and orange eyeshadows Orange-bronze looks is your thing You want your eyeshadow to have super staying powers (so much that it’s actually hard to…
My all-time favourite nail polish top coat :: Poshé Top Coat
Hello there and say hello to an unsung hero of top coats! It is the Poshé super-fast drying top coat. I wanted to make a whole post dedicated to it because I don’t think that the beauty community has praised it enough. It is indeed super-fast drying, you can apply it even if the previous nail polish layer is not 100% dry. Why it is my favourite It starts drying right after I finish applying it (you have to be a bit quick with it, not crazy quick, but if you start taking your time to apply it, it will start setting before you finish) Consequently, you can do stuff…
