Best of 2018: Makeup
I admit this title is misleading, as it’s in no way a comprehensive assessment of stuff that came out in 2018. Firstly, I don’t buy that much makeup any more. Mind you, I still buy much more than an average person, but I don’t test as much as I do with skinc..
Autumn Edit: Makeup
Makeup is one category where I buy less stuff than I used to (although I might end up paying more…). That said, I did buy quite a few things for this autumn, as I usually find autumn more inspiring in makeup terms than other times of the year. It is foundati..
March Memo: Spring, Oscars and Reading Women
It is very nearly spring in Brussels, still some way to go in Tallinn. When I was little, I used to be very disdainful of yellow daffodils, as they were the most common spring flowers in my grandmother’s garden. I thought paperwhites much superior and tulips..
Best of 2016: Makeup
In the last week, I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time watching best of 2016 beauty videos on YouTube. I have mostly learned two things: 1) these videos are addictive and 2) my list of favourites is quite different from most vloggers’. The latter is not..
Colour to Wear: Bruised Rose
It’s been pretty solidly established by now that I like to wear pink: after years of claiming that “I usually don’t like pink but this skirt/dress/lipstick/doughnut is rather nice” I had to admit that saying this twice a week possibly hints at something. So ..
A Very Wishful Christmas Wishlist
I hate recommending things I haven’t properly tried. It’s this inflexible position that has made writing a Christmas gift guide extremely difficult this year: there were things I planned to test and hopefully consequently recommend, but after spending all my..
Lipstick Season: 10 Current Favourites
It is a beauty truism that women return to lipsticks in autumn and want to wear deeper colours as the days get colder. And I think it’s generally true, at least for me – but it’s also reinforced by the fact that new lipstick launches tend to take place in Se..
Tropical Make-Up
Whenever I’m in a warm place, I like to use the opportunity to wear bright, colourful make-up. I do wear colour day-to-day as well, but there are some things that work much better for me when I have a slight tan. Anything coral or orange for example is almos..
6 (OK, 8) Favourite Foundations for Autumn
Considering my flighty nature, I used to be surprisingly loyal to my foundation favourites: I mostly wore the beautifully dewy YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, occasionally switching to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and Laura Mercier’s classic tinted moisturizer. But th..
A Study in Khaki
Khaki is officially The Colour With The Worst Name. I doubt it sounds good in any language and in Estonian, it has an unfortunate poo-connotation that makes pre-teens giggle. To make things worse, nobody really knows what colour khaki is. Is it almost beige?..
