-and the pretty things in-between-
I'm an everyday consumer, trying to navigate my way through a product rich landscape.
This 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 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.
Read MoreThe Noir Interdit Mascara is the latest addition to Givenchy’s line of mascara’s. It’s primary aim is to provide the wearer with long lashes and made to measure volume that is buildable. What makes this mascara stand out is the fact that the wand can bend at a 90 degree angle which can help give you more precise application.

I was so apprehensive before I started reading this book. After reading the blurb I was expecting the worst and honestly I was scared thinking about what was gonna happen. I am quite pleased when I say that while there were definitely some unexpected turns in the story it worked out well in the end.
Read MoreIn recent months I’ve added quite a few new skin care products to my arsenal. I still haven’t been able to test and use everything yet, just because I want to do my due diligence and make sure that everything I’m using works well with my skin. It makes no sense to pile on a ton of different products and then have no idea which product is breaking me when I get a reaction, or If I see great changes in my skin but aren’t able to pinpoint which product brought about the change.
Read MoreBeing a self professed eyeshadow lover, I’m always looking to try new eyeshadows, and love when brands offer single pan shadows. Blackbird Cosmetics sold yes past tense, all matte hand pressed mineral eyeshadows. Smooth, creamy mattes are hard to produce for mainstream brands and the same follows for indie brands.
Read More“Been There…. Regretted That” – Anonymous
Buyer’s remorse, I’m sure that most of us have been there before. You buy something, spend your hard earned money on an item and then you either never use it or find that it doesn’t work as great as you thought it would.
Sometimes you hold on to it because you don’t want to feel like you wasted your money. Well that’s how I felt about the products that landed in the regret pile. Admittedly I was excited about each item when I got it (well most of the items), but after using it a couple of times I realized that it just wasn’t meant to be.
