So first, I was terribly bad at shameless self-promotion. It was shameful self-promotion. I failed to include the correct link to my book review blog. But it’s fixed, and here it is again for good measure! Because I’m terrible at internetting. And now I will show you the final components of my recent bag of […]
WATCH THIS I’M POSTING AGAIN. I am continuing with my empties saga, AND proving that I am going to be a serious blogger this time. I am amazing! First, fragrances. Versus by Versace is amazing. I love this one. I think I purchased this from TJ Maxx at one point because I liked Bright Crystal […]
So! As you all* know, I am going back to the United States in two and a half weeks. So, since the end of February when I knew I would be moving, I’ve started collecting empties to participate in this grand, if slightly mystifying, tradition.** Some of my favorites recently, just thinking off the top […]
If this isn’t the worst “beauty blog” ever, then I don’t know what might qualify. I didn’t buy a thing in Dubai because I went to Sharjah instead. While at a family-friendly party, my bag was stolen. Remember my bag of garbage? Well, turns out when it’s stolen I remember a whole bunch of stuff […]
I am going to Dubai on Saturday. Imported goods are cheaper there than where I live, so I’ll have access to makeup and stuff. I’m budgeting $100 on shopping while I’m there. Any suggestions?
For those of you who read my post on my makeup storage problem, I present the so-far solution! I’ll show some pictures of how I’ve sorted things, and then post on what’s actually in my collection next. Here is all my makeup. I haven’t tackled skincare yet, but not bad. On the left in the […]
Or, purse. I’m still working on figuring out the direction I’m going to take with this blog. While I wait for inspiration on a theme (gimmick?), I decided to imitate a post that I’ve seen a thousand times. As a naturally nosy person, it takes everything I have not to go through people’s fridges and […]
Here’s questions from Amy at Beyond Just Beauty. And I’m bored at work! 1. If you could have any superpower, what would you choose? I’m not sure if it’s a superpower, but I’ve always fantasized about knowing a really improbable number of languages fluently. It probably comes from my fascination with language combined with a […]
I’ve made good on my promise of infrequent posts! I went home yesterday evening and stared at the piles of stuff in my spare room. I came back from a trip abroad on January 8th, so yesterday marked an entire month after my return to my apartment and most of the stuff in my spare room […]
Actually, to correct an earlier statement, maybe L’Oreal and Revlon tie for best major drugstore brands. I find myself liking both of these brands better than some of the ones I used to use when I was younger (I wish I could resurrect Revlon’s StreetWear imprint from my adolescence). From what I’ve read about L’Oreal, they […]
