Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer – The downsides of traveling

They say that travel broadens the horizon and helps you grow as a person. And I wholeheartedly agree with that. But what happens after you return home, all grown and filled with new experiences, only to find that the same boundaries still hold you? Now I don’t want to get deep here. I am talking about makeup, you see?     Just imagine what happens when you get to try a makeup item you wanted to purchase for quite some time and fall head over heels for it while knowing…

Inspired by … Dior Glowing Gardens Spring 2016

If you are not familiar with the “Inspired by…” series, click here for an explanation. But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included!   This months installment is the Dior Glowing Gardens Collection, which stood out to me due to the fact that the model was wearing yellow eyeshadow, paired with purple.

But short story even shorter, each month I choose a seasonal ad and try to recreate the models look with colors I already own. Dressing up and awkward posing included!   As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to recreate the “Giorgio Armani Luxe is More” makeup in December. It may not be the most exotic look I have ever seen, but everything about it seems very glamorous and very “me”. Velvet…

The exception from the rule – Collective Haul

I have mentioned several times before, I put myself on a spending ban when the Little Bean was born. That was how I imagined it to be. The reasons were various: I own so much makeup, I could probably go for two years straight without the need to buy something new. I have a bathroom cabinet dedicated to unused skincare I really wanted to try. I wanted to get use out of the products I really love, instead of hoarding them until they were far beyond expiration date and went…
