#FOTD: violet voss taupe notch eyeshadow palette
Back in the early 2010s, one of my most beloved beauty products was this trunk from Tarina Tarantino. At the time, products from the brand were sold at Sephora.

first impressions: rimmel scandaleyes volume on demand mascara
Rimmel used to be one of my favourite drugstore makeup brands. I purchased items from them frequently….and then I didn’t anymore.

That being said, I do miss the brand. It…

My eyes are always peeled for hair care products that are effective and easy to use. Sometimes, that can be a bit of a struggle. Especially because I am quite low maintenance when it comes to my hair. I don’t want anything that is time consuming, has a lot of steps, or requires me to…

new in: kendall + kylie hair accessories
My hair has been anything but beautiful lately. After a year and a half without a haircut (thanks to the pandemic and lots of safety concerns) it is downright unmanageable. Currently? My thick hair is heavy, bulky, and shapeless. It refuses to straighten completely and also refuses to hold any sort of style for long.…
