This weekend made for a brilliant impromptu Brighton visit. I met with two friends there at 10 in the morning and we went exploring. Since it was my first time there, I was eager to see this little gem of a town, as well as the infamous Brighton Pier that makes appearances in all pretty Instagrams (hint: I was disappointed).

City Break: Robin Hood’s Bay
Long time no post. Well, let me fill you in a bit (not that this blog is too personal anyway).
My summer went something like this: got a very spontaneous job at Zara and ultimately got sucked into a routine of work and sleep, while also trying to keep my social life somewhat breathing. As soon as my summer job ended – thank God (not that it was that bad, but damn, customers are the devil) – I went on a deeply researched adventure to the Yorkshire coastline to a village called Robin Hood’s Bay. So have a peek at my photojournal. Continue reading “City Break: Robin Hood’s Bay”
Summer Dresses In London Weather
Interesting choice of dress on a cloudy London day, you might say. And you’re right, I was probably the brightest eye-soaring sight on the tube and I ain’t sorry about it. But it doesn’t have to be mid July for you to wear that floral maxi dress either. So check out this JD Williams lil vivid number. Is it green? It is yellow? Well, it’s exactly what you want it to be.

L’Oreal 24h Matte v Bourjois Air Mat
Yep, totally making a reference to Batman v Superman in the title (which you will have to watch for yourself to see where you stand; I’m still on the fence about it) and please do tell me your opinions on it in the comments!
Anyway, this post will explore which matte foundation is better. Both drugstore, both hyped, both claiming to hold 24H – but which one does the job better?
Enhance, Not Cover: My Essentials
A not so popular idea among the beauty community, Glossier inspired me to write a post featuring products that I use to accentuate my natural beauty, and not cover it. I love me some NikkieTutorials glam from time to time, but letting your raw good looks shine through can be fun as well.
Holiday Makeup
If you haven’t got consumed already by the nerve-racking Christmas fever, don’t worry, there is still time for you to stress over gifts and plans. Makeup however, tends to brighten up my day; so go ahead and slap some confidence and glitter on your face and try not to get caught up in the materialistic side of the holidays.
I did think about not doing the classic gold eye – red lip but who was I kidding? What says Christmas better than this? Nothing, yeah, I know.
The Winter Edit
With colder weather comes warmer-toned makeup and this weird-but-totally-fun combination between matte and sparkle. Oh and the grimmer the scenery outside, the deeper the red lipstick – well, that’s something to be excited about! Continue reading “The Winter Edit”
Colourful Eye Makeup Look: Yes, Red Eyeshadow Is A Thing!
Here it is, another makeup look! Quite colourful, summery and warm, but still appropriate for both day and night wear. With a darker lipstick, you could go to town with this and look oh so ravishing.

The Summer Edit
Here we are, mid summer, sweating our bottoms off and turning to makeup for solace. If you haven’t brought out the golds and the brights yet, this is the sign you were waiting for: do it now.
The Five Minute Drugstore Face
There are certain days in a girl’s life when even putting makeup on can seem like a chore. On days like this, kudos to you, if you can go in public without wearing the slightest bit of makeup… but, until my face gets better (probably when I’m in my thirties), 5 minutes to get my glam on is all I need.
