My Wedding Makeup Wishlist

I’ve been looking forward to my wedding ever since my partner and I proposed to each other in 2019. It’s looking likely we may have to postpone again, but for now I’m pretending that everything is going ahead! This post is a way for me to track my own thoughts when it comes to the…

Lepaar Skincare Review – Cleansing Oil, Eye Balm & Evening Balsam

It’s been a long time coming, but this should be the last review for Lepaar for a while. Quite a few of their day time offerings have settled nicely into my routine, so I thought it time to try their night time offerings. In my last order, I also received a full size of the…

My List of Natural, Fragrance Free, Low or No Waste Deodorant

Have you been trawling the internet for unscented, natural and low waste or no waste deodorant options? I have! Supermarket deodorant has not been a staple in my morning routine for a long time now. While body odour can be a cause of embarassment for a lot of people, for others it’s actually the synthetic…

Okoko Cosmétiques Review – Beauté Majestique Cleanser, Elixir D’Or & Trésor Perfume Oil

Okoko Cosmétiques are constantly innovating new and limited products which are so tempting! They also offer different tiers of products, so if you want to try supercharged versions of a serum, try their Red Label. Otherwise they also create more affordable versions, which might be better for newer skincare enthusists. These days I’m willing to…

Rituel de Fille Eye Soot Review & Swatches – Sigil, Divinus & Half Life

Ever found a product that seems like the perfect one for you? Colour, formulation, finish? That was the Ash and Eye Soots from Rituel de Fille for me. I researched them for weeks, looked up swatches and read reviews until I finally splurged on these three shades: Divinus, Sigil & Half Light. These shadows are…

Nailmatic Aqua Nail Review & Swatches – Anzu, Haley, Hazel & Björk

Nail polish has not been an option for me for quite a few years now. It wasn’t until alone time during quarantine that I started missing being able to paint my nails. This week I’m continuing my quest to find the best nail polish for my sensitive nose. This one comes all the way from…

Facetheory Skincare Review – Colloidal-C T3, Azeclear A15 & Porebright N10

As my skincare obsession continues, I have noticed it’s best for me to keep a more minimal, tried and true range of products I can fall back on if and when my skin is sensitized. I stumbled across this brand as I was diving the internet rabbit hole regarding tyrosine blockers. Facetheory has a heavy…

Athr Beauty Supernova Highlighter Review & Swatches

This week, I can finally bring you my review of a long time lust. From the first time I saw these highlighters from Aether Beauty (just recently changed to Athr Beauty), I have been enamoured. Highlighter is probably the least used makeup product in my routine, but goodness, do these make me want to change…

Best of 2020

Oh what a year! I’m not sure anyone could have been prepared for it. I hope you all have been careful, mindful of yourselves and others. Today’s post is one of my favourites, because I look back on everything I tried this year and remember the very best I found. I’m not doing a Worst…

Lepaar Wholistic Skincare Review – Luminous Face Balm

It is absolutely no secret that I have found one of my favourite skincare brands in Lepaar. Their products include thoughtfully curated ingredients, sourced worldwide, but then also sun-infused with extra loving care by Johanna and Christo. I was using their Velvet Sole Lip balm as my face balm, but I thought I’d give their…
