I'd like to think that most of us have some kind of sunscreen in our daily skincare routine as protecting our skin from the sun is such a vital thing to do.

I was indulging … Continue reading Testing Vintage: White Shoulders Powder
I don't always subscribe to the "new year, new me" mindset as I don't like the idea of becoming something new when I just want to work on a bit of self improvement. It feels like throwing out the baby with the bath water in way. This year, I really want to focus more on … Continue reading Miss Gypsy Rose Review

After finishing my Laneige Fresh Calming cleanser a few weeks ago, I had my eye out for a new cleanser and suddenly I was craving a good quality foaming cleanser. Foaming cleansers are supposed to be very gentle on the skin as they don't require as much scrubbing to get the product to foam. They … Continue reading Kbeauty – Neogen Real Fresh Foam Cleanser
Way back sometime last year, I reviewed the Laneige Fresh Calming Toner which is still a product I love to this day. When I went to reorder the toner from YesStyle, I noticed that Laneige had more products in the Fresh Calming range than I realised so I thought I'd grab myself the gel cleanser … Continue reading KBeauty – Laneige Fresh Calming Gel Cleanser

Personally, I think that one of the toughest parts of pinup is styling hair in a vintage style. Even though I have been a pinup for many years, styling my hair is a constant battle but I've learnt it's all about the set. Besides thinking about curler size, setting patterns and heat, an important aspect of … Continue reading DIY Pinup: Homemade Hair Setting Spray
