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..
The Three-Minute Face
For all my love and talk of makeup, I actually leave home most days without having any on my face. It’s not that I have suddenly embraced my natural beauty, it’s just that I’m constantly late. And it’s OK, I can handle my bare face. Do I feel better at an im..
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..
How I Learned to Love the Cushion (And My 5 Favourites)
It hardly needs saying any more that cushion products are a huge beauty trend. But for the record: yes, they are. It has taken almost a decade, but cushions have well and truly arrived in the West from Asia (Internet tells me that the first cushion foundatio..

Return of the Gloss
Now, let’s make one thing clear: I had the idea for this post long before Lisa Eldridge published her take on the new glosses. I did! Honest! But I had to postpone it because of the stupid Chanel: I was waiting for their new lipsticks to reach Belgium and it..
The Kingdom of Ice (And Some Make-Up)
The weather in Estonia has been strange. Black Christmases can and do happen, but roses blooming in December? That is extremely rare. Then, just after the warm and humid Christmas, it turned cold overnight. There was no snow, but everything, and I mean every..
Eye Make-Up, Revisited
It’s been long since I’ve found eye make-up exciting – for something like 10 years, it’s been all about the lips. And a good base. But eyes? I got to a point where I thought that if I see another smoky eye, I’ll just die of boredom. I even got tired of masca..
YSL Touche Éclat Blur Perfector
There is a saying that if you sit by the river long enough, you’ll see the body of your enemy float by. It’s sometimes attributed to Sun Tzu, the legendary Chinese general and strategist whose Art of War is a masterpiece and who most likely had nothing to do..
