and the pretty things in-between
-and the pretty things in-between-
I'm an everyday consumer, trying to navigate my way through a product rich landscape.
I don’t have many products that I find to be disappointing. I may not use each of my products as much as I want to but it’s not because I’m avoiding them, it’s simply that I have so many products that I’m trying to use. However there are some products in my collection that have just disappointed me. It was completely unexpected and I had high hopes for them but they just let me down.
Read MoreThis month my favourites list is pretty small. I’m not sure what happened but when I say down to think about the products that I was loving this past month, these are the ones that stood out to me. It’s not to say that I haven’t used other products I liked, I just tend to classify those as my work horse faves.
Read MoreWhen I first started this blog one of the things I wanted to do was provide swatches for products on a deeper skin tone. Yes I know that there are some bloggers that currently do this, however I found that often times it was the more popular products that were swatched, and featured.
Read MoreI haven’t had this palette for very long but so far I love it. I’ll admit, the first time I saw sneak peeks of this palette I was less than impressed. I though oh joy another neutral matte palette, just what we need more of.
Read MoreI picked up a sample of this from Sephora on a whim, I saw the email saying that I could get a deluxe version and choice it when I placed my next order. I hadn’t heard anything about it prior to me choosing it. Then I saw a few Instagram review posts and thought oh, I guess it’s gaining some traction.
Read MoreSo I’ve been using this toner for the past month on a regular basis, and I like it. It’s not revolutionary or anything but as toner or skin as they call it in South Korea, I think that it does it’s job. The acid in the name comes from the fact that the toner contains 45% Hyaluronic Acid and 5% Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruits Extract otherwise known as Seabuckthorn
Read MoreI’ll admit it I’m a huge blush fan. I’m not sure why but I really like them, even though I have a good 20 or so in my collection already I still have my eye on more. I have quite a few single blushes in the pan that I keep in magnetic palettes but I also have some plush palettes that I really love.

Perfumery is a symphony, it has a beginning, middle and an end.
I never thought that I would be writing a perfume review. It’s a simple thing but I’m really so happy about it. The fact that I can smell of the tones is just amazing to me. So for mother’s day I brought my mom to Sephora so she could pick out a fragrance, she prefers a light scent a toilette instead of a parfum.
Read MoreI first came across this product when I was browsing through the Sephora store. I remember trying it and thinking that it was such a weird powder. To the touch it feels silky and soft but it’s in no way powdery. It feels like silicone but it’s a powder. Weird right?
Read MoreThis month I don’t have a ton of favourites and to be completely honest a few of these were delivered last week. I will say though that I genuinely like those items and have definitely found every reason to wear and use them. It may seem like I was using all new stuff this month, I wasn’t (though I did buy a lot of stuff). I’ve been using what I guess you could call my staples.
Read MoreI don’t generally do monthly favourites but this month I’ve got a few things that I’ve really been enjoying. Some of them I just started using this past month, actually looking at my list most of them seem to be new. Maybe I’ll add it a few faves from February to balance it out a bit.
