Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI know what you're thinking, oils on my face? Um, no. Why would I want to put oil on my face? I spend money on mattifying primers, powders and oil absorbing sheets to get all that stuff OFF my face, so why would I just go and put it back on?
Well, I'm here to hopefully change your mind.
I've been all over the face oils lately. With my acne prone skin and all the drying products I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basCat eyes: we have a love hate relationship with them. On the one hand, they're gorgeous. On the other hand, they're a total b**ch (excuse the French) to do. And while we can go on and on about tips and tricks, the fact is: they're tough. Which is why I'm kind of all over this Korean eye makeup trend called puppy eyes. While cat eyes swerve upwards into a very difficult to accomplish winged shape,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThere's been a fun little tag going on in the YouTube world called 'If All My Makeup Disappeared' and it's basically one of my worst nightmares.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am seriously getting sick of my hair. Since chopping off a significant amount, it's getting to that weird in-between stage and I just cannot deal with it.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEver wondered what a football uniform might look like in the future? It seemed Emma Watson did. Which must be what prompted her to wear this shoulder padded ensemble from Balenciaga Resort 2014 collection to the GQ Man of the Year Awards.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOlivia Wilde seems like that girl who is always impossibly pretty while being totally down to Earth.

To solve both these issues, I have found an excellent DIY for a lavender scented hand salve....
