January Photo Diary

Could this be the start of a new series on the blog? Yes, it just might! I think it'd be a great idea to post sort of a recap of each month here to see what I was up to when 2016 comes to an end (because I'm narcissistic like that... apparently, aha!). Also, some of these things might be a

Nude mauve

I've been on the hunt for a mauve blush for what feels like ages now. Problem is, I'm the world's most indecisive person. I genuinely wish I could be like those people who see things, think about them for five seconds and chuck them in their basket (maybe my bank account would protest …

Perfection Lumière Velvet

So, I went to Sephora and... things happened. Naughty things happened. Well, actually, a naughty thing happened which is this Chanel baby. but... Instead of my usual rambling, I figured I'd go straight to the point with this one and answer the all-important question: is it worth the money? Yes

A little Monday inspiration #9

Happy Mondaaaaay! Another gloomy day in January in Portugal and this little bout of inspiration couldn't come at a better time... I need to dream about sun, light clothes, a lot of white and a lot of light to be able to handle all the months we still have ahead of us before we can be firmly on…

2016 in the beauty department

Wow-eee, is 2016 gonna be a year of experiences in the beauty department! I've always been someone who doesn't get sucked into hypes (for the most part, anyway) and, therefore, doesn't really see the need to spend copious amounts of money on a single make up item. I mean, why fork out …

Essie obsession

So, I was talking to my friend the other day and we both agreed on something: once you get your first Essie nail polish, you will always go back for another, and another after that, and so forth. That's what happened after I got Fiji! There's just something about Essie that stands out from…

A little Monday inspiration #8

This post is a week too late and missing weekly posts is something I hate dearly but with work starting back up I haven't had the time or energy to do much aside from eat, sleep, work, rest, repeat! Though I wouldn't change being active again for the world, I didn't realise how much I …

Zoeva

Zoeva, Zoeva, Zoeva... Before I even got into make up, I used to see these brush sets, especially the rose gold ones, going around the internet and I thought to myself, 'wow, they're actually so gorgeous' (and then wondered why the heck I'd need them to put on makeup... amateur!). …

New year, new phone

It's the cliché of the clichés: new year, new me... new phone? Yeah, I'm pretty sure we can slyly squeeze that one in! :). I'm an iPhone girl through and through. I've had three in all of my life and, for me, I'd never consider switching to an Android. So imagine the absolute m…

A little Monday inspiration #7

Good evening (yikes) and happy, happy, happy new year! I know I'm beyond late in posting this, but this last week has been a complete whirlwind of work and commitments and all sorts of things, hence why I'm posting what should be a little morning 'pick me up' at almost midnight...o…
