I am not lucky enough to have that flawless skin where you can just slap on some makeup and look great. I have an oily t-zone, dry pigmented cheeks and some rough areas around my nose where foundation always settles. So, I need primer and I have quite a few that I use regularly. Smashbox […]

THEFACESHOP Advent Calendar Days 1-6
So only a week in and I already suck at the Blogmas goal of a post a day until Christmas, this should have gone up yesterday but someone has man flu and needed looking after all day. You know, because when normal people don’t feel great, they still have to get things done. But when […]

Mariposa Nail Polish – The Coloured Foils
While I am all for four free (or even 8-free now) nail polishes, they typically come with a high price tag. I have been with friends shopping and spent $15 on a single bottle of nail polish while they roll their eyes and carry on with their $3 bottles of Sinful Colors or Sally Hansen. […]
My 2015 Advent Calendars

Bioderma Sebium Flawless Skin Discovery Kits
As winter approaches, my skin suffers even more. My combination skin just hates winter. The dry areas get worse and all the added product to combat the dryness doesn’t help the oily areas. I have been trying out new products in the hope that I can find something that works, and Bioderma Sebium might just […]
