Cool Girl Beauty
I have no first-hand knowledge of this topic, as I’m way too enthusiastic to be a cool girl. But I have enough experience observing cool girls in their natural habitats (by which I mean Paris and Instagram) that I feel like I can make educated guesses about ..
3 Korean Skincare Products I Turned Out to Like
A few months ago, I bought a scary amount of Korean skincare: 13 items, to be precise. I promised to report back with my findings, and here I am. Before I get to the winners, though, let me explain why I’ve only included three things.
First of all, there..
6 Morning Skincare Steps
If you read the post on my evening skincare routine, this is going to sound familiar. The general logic of how and what I use is the same, but the mornings are a bit lighter on product and somewhat faster. Then again, there is make-up on top of that, so alto..
7 Evening Skincare Steps
In the course of writing this blog, I’ve come to realize that people often struggle not only with which products to use, but also how – with the general logic and order of putting stuff on one’s face. Apologies if this sounds patronising, but as I myself a..
12 (13) Things You Must* Have In Your Office
For obsessive list-makers, September is the best of times. As I said yesterday, this is the month of making plans for a new, improved version of oneself and that of course requires multiple lists. Lists of books to read, films to watch, languages to learn (O..
7 Nordic Beauty Brands
I’ve wanted to do a post about Nordic (note that my use of the word “Nordic” is quite loose, including also the Baltics) skincare since I started the blog, but felt that I hadn’t done enough research and testing. I still haven’t done enough and the selection..
Travel Series Vol 2: The Liquids
This is a sister post to yesterday’s travel make-up one. While I rarely find packing make-up challenging in any way, skincare and perfume can be tricky because of the volume restrictions for air travel. Unless it’s a proper 2-week holiday, I prefer carry-on ..
Sunday Riley Good Genes
I’m fine with spending quite a bit on skincare. I can afford it now (up to a point, there are of course brands that still give me pause – I am looking at you, Sisley! And SK-II!) and I enjoy it. It is something I’ve chosen to spend my money on, along with bo..
Mizon Hyaluronic Acid 100
I’ve been slowly making a dent in the Korean skincare I bought a while back. Not an easy task, considering the unreasonable amount of things I acquired, but there is one thing I have been using almost every day: Mizon Hyaluronic Acid 100. As this is the one ..
Lumi Moisturizing Cleansing Milk
If you have been here before, you might already know I have a thing for proper cleansing and good cleansers. I have about ten of them in regular rotation and I’m very picky about the quality, with Eve Lom, Omorovicza, Tata Harper, Sunday Riley and Tatcha cle..
