Beauty. Fashion. My preoccupations.
I started writing about my adventure in Paris last year and after the first month, I didn’t pick up my laptop again. I’ve spent the last week wondering why that was, and I came to one conclusion: When I moved to Paris I decided to just live. 2018 fed my soul in so many ways.
So, I have officially been in Paris for 18 days and have loved every minute of it! It honestly feels like i have been here for a lot longer than 2.5 weeks and I think that’s all thanks to me settling into a routine pretty quickly since arriving and having already made friends. Read more.
Focussing on myself and my “me-time” is something I’ve been working on for ages but haven’t really managed to get right. So last week, after the most severe anxiety attack I have ever experienced…
Last year I set out to read a book a month as part of my goals I wrote down in my bullet journal. Well, it turns out it was a little too ambitious and I sadly didn’t reach that target. What did I manage to finish reading?
A while back when the MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencils launched, they caught my eye because the ad had this amazing image of ombre lips. After seeing it I desperately wanted lips like this! I couldn’t decide which colour to choose from the display stand, but eventually got myself this pretty colour called Go for Girlie. It looks nice and […]
Winter definitely took its toll on my skin this year and the products I usually use weren’t really working to prevent my dry skin from itching. I’d been given the Dove Purely Pampering body cream in a goodie bag a few months ago but had never had a chance to try it. A few weeks ago I […]
I saw this Revlon Highlighting Palette online and almost ordered it because I didn’t think it would actually be in stores in SA. Low and behold I walk into Dischem the other day and there it was on display! I chose the Rose Glow palette, which is the lightest one of the three on offer, because I’m […]
If you love eyeshadows with high pigmentation and shimmer, then the Catrice Liquid Metal eyeshadows are exactly what you need in your make-up bag. Their rich colours are what caught my eye while I was browsing the Catrice make-up stand. I first bought the Gold ‘n Roses eyeshadow to try out (the colour was quite similar to a […]
I missed posting this yesterday so I’m calling it Mani (faux) Monday. I haven’t had dark nails in a while so I decided to do a mani with Morgan Taylor’s Night Owl. The last time I wore this it chipped quite quickly and I reckon it was because my nails were weak after having gelish […]
I first saw Maybelline The Nudes palette on a YouTube make-up tutorial video. I am a huge fan of nude shadows and 90% of the time that is my go-to-colour for my eye make-up. So of course when I saw this I wanted to get my hands on it immediately! Unfortunately it hasn’t come to […]
