Exploring NARS Voyageur Eyeshadow Collections

I absolutely love these little eyeshadow palettes from NARS. I've been using them for months, and they quickly became some of the most essential products in my makeup collection. Even though I say makeup bag, I actually mean multiple bags because things have gotten a bit out of hand with all the products I'm testing. These…

My Top 5 Ultimate Parka Picks

You might think it's an odd topic for a video, but I really love wearing parkas in winter. In fact, I wear them in spring and autumn too—probably around a hundred days a year. However, a lot of parkas these days have this cheap look with shiny fabrics, poor-quality zippers, and terrible faux-fur on the…

ELEVATING EXCELLENCE: L’OCCITANE’S LUXURIOUS BODY BALM

Oh, I’m thrilled! Isn't it satisfying when a brand makes an already fantastic beauty product even better? And by “someone,” I mean the brand itself has zhuzhed up their own product, not just any random person. Picture Brian from Hove fiddling with Vita Liberata’s Body Blur in his shed and launching his version—Barry’s Body Blur.…

Heeled Slippers: A Unique Twist

This year's award for the most comfortable fashion item, if that existed, would definitely go to the UGG Shezbie. These are the most genuinely comfortable high heels I've ever worn. They helped me survive two full days at London Fashion Week, which included walking on cobblestones and sprinting to catch a bus. These boots feel like…

Spontaneous Shopping Spree Signal…

Being an unrepentant shopper, I recently checked out what's left in the Hush sale and picked up a couple of items. They're just basic pieces to tide me over until summer ends while I’m holed up at my desk working on my dissertation and not really going out much. I opted for comfy, slouchy trousers…

THE HOMECOMING OF MY HEART…

The year's been off to a bit of a slow start for me in the beauty department. Last month, I talked a lot about feeling burnt out and mentally exhausted, so let me quickly recap for those who missed it. Basically, I hit a wall juggling work, moving houses, and caring for two young kids.…
