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.
Duping the Natasha Denona Yucca Palette (Swatches & Looks)
I have to make an effort to avoid buying everything new that comes out. Natasha Denona’s Yucca palette has a really interesting and trendy colour story, but I haven’t spend the previous 3 years buying every dirty green eyeshadow I could find for nothing.
Ranking Every 2022 Makeup I Bought!
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.
Makeup Empties – The Good, The Bad and The Tossed #2
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.
Top 7 | Best Coral Blushes (2022)
Coral is definitely my favourite colour for blush. It’s probably my favourite makeup item, period. Coral is one of those shades that doesn’t just vary between dark and light, it can also lean more pink or more orange, and if you add different finishes to that, you can end up with quite a lot of variations of blush that are all technically the same colour but are all very different at the same time.
Or so I tell myself.
Top 5 | Best Light Pink Blushes (2022)
I had this post thought out and lined up to go for about 3 months. My idea was to post it before winter ended. Then this blog got neglected for a little while (pregnancy, covid, yadda yadda) and I’m rushing to post this while it’s still technically spring. So enjoy this list of pastel pink blushes to sport on your cheeks for the next two weeks before we get inundated by all the bronze and coral summer blush shades.
Review, Swatches | MAC Viva Glam Keith Haring Collection (Canal Blue, Red Haring, St. Marks Yellow)
As I’ve mentioned in my 2021 favourites, I got the entire new Viva Glam lipstick collection from MAC. I had every reason to: it is in collaboration with an iconic artist, the design and colour story is unique and collectible, and I’m a master at delegating my problem with lack of makeup storage for future me.
Review, Swatches | MAC Petallic Metallic Extra Dimension Skinfinish
Petallic Metallic is going to be released with MAC’s future Spring collection, with new and beautiful packaging, but it has been released before with a MAC Mother’s Day kit. And I’m the girl who, even though she makes no money off of this blog and stopped having any room for new makeup 10 highlighters ago, bought this just to be one of the first ones to publish a review.
Review, Swatches | MAC 2021 Hypnotizing Holiday Collection – Shadeshifter Duochrome Eyeshadows in Ho Ho Hocus, Prrrplexing, Calling Your Bluff
I told I wasn’t done with this collection. After falling in love with the Shadeshifter eyeshadow in Right Before Your Eyes, I was looking for an excuse to get the remaining shadows that piqued my interest, and the Black Friday sale was the perfect opportunity.
Holiday Makeup Haul | MAC, Dior, Tarte, Krash Kosmetics, Pat McGrath, Revolution
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, boxing day, and generally because I’ve been a very good girl – to myself, mostly – these are the reasons I have a decently sized holiday makeup haul to share.
