These pictures came out too grainy, but I enjoyed the outfit a lot and want to have it on record so I can remember the combination.
Review, Swatches | 3ina The Color Pen Eyeliner in 575
I don’t think I ever purposefully bought anything from 3ina (pronounced mina, fyi, ’cause I know that’s been bothering you if you didn’t know). Everything I have I got in advent calendars or subscription boxes. But there hasn’t been a product yet that I haven’t liked.
Red & Tailored, this season’s It-Couple
Black, white and fire red was one of the main colour stories for this winter, and judging by NYFW it seems to be crossing over to next winter as well. I’m here for it.
Review, Swatches | Gucci Satin Lipstick in 501 Constance Vermillon
I had to get one of these lipsticks exclusively for that vintage-looking packaging – and once again, I fell prey to an orange-red shade. I love this colour way too much.
Rust & Gold, a Serre Silk Symphony
A mid length silk skirt is supposed to be a wardrobe staple, yet I only got one this year. I also believe the skirt is meant to be of a “neutral” colour but I went for a loud print from Marine Serre.
Fragrance Review | Bvlgari Goldea The Roman Night
Another blind purchase. I felt comfortable buying it without trying it first since it is described as a chypre musk floral. In theory, Goldea The Roman Night looked like a good idea.
My take on the mob wife aesthetic…
…because there’s no look more appropriate for the upcoming Valentine’s Day than intimidating all-black with a splash of leopard print.
Review | Avon Anew Anti-Wrinkle Smoothing Serum (with 0.1% Retinol)
Before you start reading this review, if you want to know my stance on MLMs (anti, in short) and why I still buy from Avon, I’ll direct you to this post.
Avon products can be hit or miss, but some of the greatest hits really knock it out of the park. I’m not (nor have I ever been) an Avon consultant (nor do I have anyone to direct you to), but I’ve tried my share of Avon products and the Anew line seems to be consistently good, so when I saw they had a retinol specific serum, I had to try it.
I never skip leg day: styling shorts and thigh high boots
Regardless of what the trends are, I’ll always love thigh high boots.
Review | Bondi Sands Daily Moisturising Face SPF50+ Sunscreen Lotion
Good daily moisturisers with a decent SPF that behave well under makeup are hard to find – so far, I can only really trust Paula’s Choice to fulfil these requirements. Yet, I keep searching for alternatives that are more accessible, both in price and availability.
