October 1, 2021

Fall is here. Perfect time to get into some deeper hues, cozier clothes and boots. I love sweater weather. But not winter. Fall is my favorite season because of all the leaves changing colors and fall fashion. So I thought, it's a perfect time to do a fall makeup look with some drugstore products.

September 17, 2021

I go through phases where sometimes I love powder blushes and at other times I prefer cream blushes. I got this NARS Air Matte Sheer Cream Blush in the shade Scandalous a while back.

A Look With Taupe Eyeshadow And Pink Lipstick

September 7, 2021

Another random fun fact for you. A group of bunnies is called a fluffle. Baby bunnies are called kittens. Just how cute is that! For today's look I paired Taupe Eyeshadow and Pink Lipstick. I loved the end result. What do you think?

I always start with my sunscreen, then apply primer. After it dries/sets I start with my eye makeup. After that I apply foundation/tinted moisturizer and concealer. Finally I apply some powder, blush, lipstick and then my mascara as the last step. Sometimes I change the order a bit and apply powder over blush, sometimes I apply blush …

Corsx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence Review

August 10, 2021

When I saw Corsx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence all over social media, I thought people have gone crazy. Now hear me out, please. As a kid I had snails in flower pots and declared them as my pets. I would pick them up from my school compound and get them home and many of them lived for years in our flower pots. So I know what snail mucous looks like and smells like. And I was not going to put that on my face.

After people saying that it has no smell and is not slimy, I decided …
