beauty entertains me
another month, another (small) round of empties. my full thoughts on products I’ve used up in their entirety.
Some people ask me why, of all things overseas, I keep purchasing stuff from Colour Pop.
Well, even with the steep customs, each product comes out at around 8€. and the quality of almost every single item I bought is top notch.
Enter the Lux Lipsticks. I’ve mentioned so many products on my channel, now I’ve decided to make a dedicated video just to my little lip wardrobe. The formula is high-end equivalent, the packaging is not only cute but expensive-feeling. They have so many colours it’s easy to make a curated selection of lipsticks for any occasion.
They can be used sheered out or full-impact with one swipe, mixed for new colours and topped up with some cool glosses for extra shine. Despite my lips being quite dry, these lipsticks — especially the bolder colours — are quite forgiving.

keep those requests coming! this tutorial is for the look I was wearing on last week’s video, and it features the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette (wow, old news, here).
here I am, shorter hair, don’t care, for the rundown of my favourite makeup finds from 2016. it has been a heck of a year, and I had a lot of trouble sifting through so much awesomeness.
but I think I got it to a pretty nice list. I hope you enjoy!
what about you? which were the amazing makeup treasures you found in 2016? please do share!
I was aiming for creamy skin, a monochromatic nude all over eyes, lips, and cheeks, all very paired down, and then a cool set of fluttery lashes. if you can nail it, good for you. here’s what I ended up with.
I was planning on doing a video on this brand, but I recently got a newsletter from them that triggered this post instead (more about it on the end of this article).
