My search for the holy grail mascara continues : Zuzu Luxe Mascara review


So I've been testing out Zuzu Luxe mascara against Dr. hauschka's (read here) and I'm sad to say that much like the 100% pure mascara (here) Zuzu Luxe's doesn't stand up to Dr. Hauschka's. Maybe I just have bizarrely sensitive eyes, but since the Zuzu luxe liquid liner became my holy grail liner, I had high hopes for the mascara. 

Dr. Hauschka Mascara


This has been my staple mascara for years and though it's not life-changing (and a bit pricy in my opinion) it's been a good, faithful mascara that enhances my lashes and is really gentle on my eyes. Something that is VERY hard to find for me.

Sore Muscle Solution - Weleda Arnica Oil

It shouldn't have taken me so long to write about this product because I haven't been able to live without it for over a year! Weleda's Arnica Oil is a 100% natural oil that moisturizes your skin while soothing sore muscles.

New Favorite Toner - Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner


This is going to be short and sweet: A couple of months ago I discovered this product and I have to say that I couldn't be more pleased with it. This is a very gentle all-natural, alcohol-free toner that cleanses and soothes the skin with the astringent effects of witch hazel and anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties of rose water.

Winter Proof Your Skin!


A while back lovely Orange Rabbit requested a winter skin routine and since we’re officially in winter in the northerm hemisphere, I figured it was the time to do it!

New Favorite Lipstick : Anna Sui Rouge G #303


I recently became aware of the existence of the Anna Sui boutique in Soho. Not quite sure how I missed it in so many years. I remember when sephora used to carry Anna Sui and what a shame it was that they stopped carrying it. Ever since then I lusted over Anna Sui boutiques abroad and was completely clueless of the presence of one actually AT home. In any case, needless to say I was quite excited and had to take home one of their scrumptious rose-scented Rouge G - Glossy lipsticks.

Apology and New posts coming up!

Hello Everyone,

If anyone is still reading this blog, I want to really apologize to you (and everyone else who's ever stopped by) for my not having written in so long. I know this is the second time I say this, but I'm going through a lot of important life changes at the moment which will make my blogging a bit less frequent. I thought I could keep this up amidst all the crazyness happening around me in the past couple of months, but I really can't. That said, I'll make the strongest effort to keep writing as often as I possibly can. Tomorrow I'll be posting a long overdue review of my new favorite lipstick (which I shamefully bought 2 months ago and hadn't reviewed yet >.< ). Also, following that, I will be doing a long piece I've been working on which was requested by a lovely reader. It will be about skin care for the cold and dry winter months coming ahead for some of us.

Cheers!
