Etude House Precious Mineral Moist Any Cushion & lots of new Play 101 Pencils and Sweet Cherry Tint!

I am racing against time here… the year is coming to an end so soon, and I’m still discovering hidden gems from recent releases that I have yet to share with you. Etude House has been a brand that I’ve been following quite a bit this year, thanks in part also to their kind support […]

Fresh as a Silk Rose with Guerlain Les Cendres & Pink Me Up

I had reviewed quite a bit of Guerlain’s Fall 2015 releases over the past month, and I know the main attractions for most people were the Rose aux Joues Tender Blushes [reviewed here] and the KissKiss Roselip Hydrating & Plumping Tinted Lip Balms [reviewed here].

If you’ve been following makeup trends for some time now, eventually you might grow weary of claims of greatness.

Shiseido Fall 2015 Makeup: Elegant Broody Hues

As I grow older, I find myself appreciating the subtler things in life… things that just work effortlessly take top priority.
