MOTD – 28/5/18 🌸
As of late I have been enticed by ‘Make-up of the day’ (MOTD) style blog posts despite being a wearer of minimal makeup: it just goes to show that there is some joy in seeking out the details of a random individual’s lifestyle and habits. If makeup is to be taken seriously and therefore premeditated…

What’s in my travel pouch? – Fukuoka Edition 🛫
Next week I’m taking a brief trip to Fukuoka, Japan. Unlike back in December of last year when I visited Osaka, I intend to take less of my belongs with me; mainly due to the fact that I’m restricted to using a holdall or small suitcase which complies with in-flight/carry-on luggage rules. Travelling in Spring…

Mini Kbeauty Haul/Review 🤔
Upon noticing that my relatively small makeup collection lacked pastel or Springtime appropriate shades – mainly due to the mass hoard of burgundy and brick rose coloured lip products – I decided to treat myself to some affordable basic cosmetics which would offer a subtle, more suitable look for the current season. I’m Meme/아임미미 ”I’m…

[Reviews]: Kbeauty – Base Makeup.
Second to lip products Korean Foundation cushions and BB creams are my preferred cosmetics in terms of interest. Despite not wearing much makeup, I have tried and tested a fair few Korean base makeup products: mainly thanking to all the free samples Korean stores give upon most purchases. For reference these products aren’t categorised into…

How to create a dewy makeup look with less makeup.
There isn’t a hidden secret to achieving a dewy, youthful makeup look without the need for numberous amounts of cosmetics. It’s all common sense. The key is layering skincare products rather than relying on primers, flash balms or highlighters.

Daily Makeup Routine.
I titled this as ‘daily’ makeup routine when rather it should be my ‘sometimes’ makeup routine as on average I only wear makeup twice a week. If you were hoping to learn how to accomplish an intricate elegant eyeshadow look then I’m afraid you have come to the wrong blog post. I literally never have…

[Blogmas] Day 18: My Christmas Day Makeup.
I don’t think that writing about the makeup I will wear on Christmas Day will be particularly interesting, however I do know that for myself and some other we enjoy being nosy when it comes to the habits of other people. I never wear full makeup, i.e. I don’t wear mascara, highligher, bronzer, contour, blusher…

Disappointing purchases.
We’ve all been there. Brought something enticed by it’s offer price or been igronant towards online product reviews, only to be disappointed feeling like you have wasted you money.

What’s in my bag?
The ever recurring ‘what’s in my bag’ tag?’… and all other versions of it, is something I’ve never joined in with. I’m not a trend follower or particularly interested in makeup, but I will admit that it’s partly interesting to be nosey about other people’s lives and to see what items they use on a…

Makeup suitable for fair skin.
In the Western parts of the world there is such a diversity in race, that most makeup brands aim to produce a wide variety of base makeup shades. However, in the UK at least, having tanned skin is considered ‘healthy looking’. I don’t think there is absolutely anything wrong with having tanned skin as long…
