Glossier Part 2: Makeup
In the previous Glossier post on their skincare, I talked about how it’s a very consistent, well targeted brand. This is possibly even more true for Glossier makeup: it is fresh and modern, there are no dense pigments or full-coverage products. The biggest a..
Glossier Part 1: Skin and Body Care
It’s an interesting time to talk about Glossier, as they are facing the first bumps in the road (at least in public) that has otherwise been very fast and smooth. I believe Solution is the first product they have launched that has created some serious backla..
The Opulence of Winter
As soon as January starts, my brain decides that the winter is essentially over. In Estonia, this is very far from the truth (it can still be snowing in May) and even in Brussels it’s a tad too optimistic. Of course, I don’t really, seriously think it’s spri..
The Balm I Like Better Than May Lindstrom’s Blue Cocoon
With the exception of some Glossier stuff (of which more in coming days), I have bought no skincare since I returned from Australia in the beginning of the year. This has not been too difficult, as I own enough skincare for a small Korean town. It’s also alw..
February Memo: Glossier, Curling and Minimalist Vegans
First February tip, dear readers: do not catch the flu. I know from painful personal experience that the virus doing the rounds at the moment is a seriously unpleasant one. Wash your hands, avoid people, do what you must – I’ve been fever-free for thee days ..
Workwear Wednesday: Lots of Red and a Coat of Clouds
This look does not come as a surprise to the diligent readers of the blog, I showed the red shirt, red skirt and red shoes combination a while back in my Sezane post. The novelty is demonstrating how to wear all this when it’s really cold, with a sweater, co..
How To Spend It: Style Investments
It may seem strange to talk about investing in clothes and accessories considering I’m currently doing my best not to buy anything. It isn’t. Nothing makes you think of buying stuff like not being able to buy stuff. Sometimes these thoughts turn rather philo..
13 Books I Read in January
As not all of you are following me on Instagram or Goodreads, I’m planning to regularly jot down what I’ve been reading. These are not meant as reviews (we’d be here all day), just quick indications of what I loved, liked or struggled with. I’ll keep doing l..
Workwear Wednesday: Fresh & Sharp
Office wear posts are among my favourites: I like the genre and many of you seem to find my ideas genuinely useful. So I will attempt to do these looks on a regular basis, now that my work life will hopefully be a bit more… regular. I’ll return to my old p..
Quick Thoughts on Eye Cream
The usefulness or otherwise of eye cream is something people occasionally ask me about and I was reminded of the topic when Nadine Baggott recently uploaded this video about eye products that work (there is also part two, focusing on high street products).
