Diptyque Travel Collection
It’s a well-established fact that I lose all my rational faculties when confronted with mini or travel-size beauty products. I’m sure they emit some sort of chemical that affects my brain particularly strongly. There is a practical side to my obsession, thou..
Probably the Longest Blogpost on Cleansers, Ever
I’ve wanted to do an overview post on cleansers* for a while, but have been putting it off, as I’ve been unable to find my Sunday Riley Blue Moon cleansing balm. How is this possible? How can a person just lose a big tub of skincare? And of course it has to ..
The Brightening Project: Are We There Yet?
About four weeks ago, I told you about my issues with hyper-pigmentation and mentioned some products I planned to try. I also promised an update once I have my routine figured out and that’s what this post is about. For me, using the same products day in, da..
When a Beauty Buy Goes Wrong
As you may have noticed, I have a lot of experience with buying skincare. Therefore, I very rarely buy total duds, but there are often things that don’t perform quite as well as I expect them to. It’s never a great feeling – the waste of money, the waste of ..

Best Beauty Buys of 2015
This list is a response to a reader request and I’ll do vol 2 next week, about non-beauty stuff. I love Best Of lists, but they are a pain to put together. To make any progress at all, I had to lay down some ground rules: only things that I bought for the fi..
7 New Cleansers
Sometimes, the workings of my brain really do make me worry. I am highly analytical by nature: I can dissect the imbalances in my wardrobe down to the tiniest details and have got my skincare routines down to a science. And yet, I recently discovered that wh..
6+ Favourite Skin Extras
If you’ve been here before, you are already intimately familiar with my morning and evening skincare steps and most of the time, that’s all I do to my skin. Well, many people would say that’s plenty (and I agree), but what I mean is that unless I’m having a ..
Caudalie Make-Up Removing Cleansing Oil
I don’t often do one product reviews, as it’s not the most exciting of genres, plus I usually don’t test things systematically enough to talk about them in depth. But occasionally, I do get sufficiently excited about something and this has recently happened ..
