Review, Swatches | Flower Knows Circus Loose Powder in 02 Beige

Flower Knows must know something I don’t, because it makes no sense to me that they would discontinue the most beautiful item they’ve ever made. The Circus Loose Powders are still available at some retailers, but apparently they’re going to be gone. The only justification for such a crime against beauty would be if the powder performed horribly… and that’s what this post is going to go into.

Ranking Every 2022 Makeup I Bought!

best of 2022 makeup

There was a lot. This took way to much time to write. And this is just makeup that came out during 2022, not necessarily everything I bought throughout the year. I’m going to have to either control my spending or never do one of these posts again and we both know I’m not doing the first so you better enjoy it so I hope my efforts were not in vain and that this is useful or at least entertaining to you, my reader.

Is this the forth post in a row where I’m reviewing blush? Yes it is. And more will be coming.

This is still available and for sale on a few retailers, and let me tell you… run, don’t walk.

kiko brushes review

About a year ago, I realised in shock after I arrived in Paris for a week vacation that I had forgotten my makeup brushes back at home. So I had to get a full set of affordable brushes while there. So my dreams of glamming it up in the city of light wouldn’t be turned off. And the closest mall was Gare do Nord where fortunately, Kiko is sold.

So here am I, to review Kiko Brushes.

Makeup Empties – The Good, The Bad and The Tossed #2

makeup empties powders, primers, foundations, eyeliners, lipsticks

Here’s an obscenely overdue post about makeup empties. So much so that I’m not sure if many of these things weren’t discontinued and are therefore, no longer available for purchase, rendering this post virtually useless – but I’ve taken the pictures and taken the notes, so I’m adamant that my time won’t go to waist.

Yours might, though. Read at your own risk.
