Boxwalla Beauty Subscription Box Oct 2021 – Lepaar Kairos Moment Collection

Of all the Beauty Subscription Boxes on the market, I always keep an eye on the bi-monthly offerings from Boxwalla. They always seem to curate the most intriguing products, from all over the world. I find that all their subscription boxes are thoughtfully created, with products that often complement each other. They often pay close…

Earthwise Beauty Skincare Review

This review took a long time for me to finish because I initally started trialling this just after yet another reaction to some essential oils, but more about that later. Unfortunately this won’t be the most in-depth review, as I sadly wasn’t able to properly test all of these products. I’m sad that they didn’t…

Low Waste, Natural & Fragrance Free Deodorant Review – Meow Meow Tweet, Woohoo Body! & Viva La Body

For the last few months I have been testing out some of the brands featured on my My List of Natural, Fragrance Free, Low or No Waste Deodorant post. I’ve never had big issues with excessive sweat or smell, so I’ve used gentler deodorants for quite a few years. My main concern recently has been about the…

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…
