The Moira Lucent Cream Shadows are cream-to-powder eyeshadows with a lot of shine and shimmer/micro glitter that can look almost wet when worn over a dark base.

Review, Swatches | Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick in 75 Rouge Amazone
Red lipstick is the LBD of makeup – at least for me. So whenever I splurge on a luxury, extremely high end lipstick, ten out of ten times, it’s going to be a red shade.
Top Favourite Lilac and Purple Blushes (Updated! 2023)
The post I’ve done about purple and lavender blushes in 2021 has been one of my most popular posts of all time. Almost 3 years later and a few extra launches, I think it’s time for an update.
Review, Swatches | Moira Eye Catching Dip Liner in 18 Yellow
How fun is a yellow eyeliner? Usually, liquid liners in pastel or bright colours are not that good, but I had such a good experience with the Kylie Cosmetics baby blue liner that I got cocky and went searching for other bright shades. Moira has quite the colour range for liquid liners, and yellow just made sense.
Review | Sisley Paris Double Tenseur Primer
I’ve only just recently realised this is quite a controversial primer. The price point is what drives that, because it’s so expensive that it basically divides people into two groups: the ones that will never be happy with it because there’s only so much a primer can do and it will never be worth the price, and the ones that convince themselves that this does indeed do a world of difference because, for the cost, it must, right?
Well, I’m in neither group and therefore in the perfect position to give an unbiased opinion.
Review, Swatches | Erre Due Sparkling Powder in 409 Bursting Lava
I’m never tired of baked blushes. I blame the Mineralize Skinfinish frenzy the world was going through when I first got interested in makeup and MAC was the sh*t. I’ll forever be attracted to the domed, shimmery, multicoloured beauty powders. This time I’m reviewing a blush from a Greek makeup brand, Erre Due (not affiliated); they have a website and ship worldwide, so no need to wait for a trip to Greece to get your hands on their stuff.
Review, Swatches | Moira Live In The Moment Shadow Palette
Following my recent Moira infatuation, I felt I needed to test and review their eyeshadow formulas. They have quite a few palettes that look stunning (have you seen the pastels?), but for my first try I decided to go with a smaller option with a safer (but not boring) colour story. So, the Live In The Moment palette it was.
Review | Coola SPF30 Makeup Setting Spray
If you are a makeup girl like me, you know that no matter how many times dermatologists/skincare experts/instructions on the back of sunscreen packaging tell you to reapply your sunscreen, that ain’t gonna happen. How am I going to put an SPF cream on top of a powdered and mascara-ed face? I won’t. So you can see how an SPF setting spray is filling out an obvious market gap.
Review, Swatches | Laura Mercier Real Flawless Luminous Perfecting Pressed Powder
I meant to be ahead of the trend and bought this as soon as it came out, to be one of the firsts to review it. Then life happened. You make plans and god laughs, right? Well, better late than never.
Review, Swatches | Moira Sunflower Beauty Dual Blusher
Can you please commend me on my efforts to not keep bringing you the same pinky-peach blush shade? We have yellow today. Yellow, people! The lengths I will go to not be boring (call me ugly, call me weird, call me awkward – but please, never boring).
