My Tiktok “For You” page keeps giving me videos on the “Mob Wife Aesthetic” and you know what, I can relate to that more than the “clean girl” aesthetic which somehow seemed to alienate me. Anyway, my pick for a … Continue reading
MDCI Chypre Palatin
The perfect solution to the mid-January doldrums: Chypre Palatin. Opulence in a bottle. I’m a Chypre fan and a Bertrand Duchafour fan and this is the best of both. Look at the colour of that juice!
Santa Maria Novella Melograno

I’ve seen lots of content about the “best of 2023” and here’s my favourite skincare discovery of 2023. 2023 was the year I first tried and kept using pimple patches. I might be late to the game but I just … Continue reading
Foundation Hack: CT Flawless Filter and Lise Watier Long-Wear foundation
This is the brown girl foundation hack, but maybe everyone does this and I just figured it out. In case you missed it, foundation is Lise Watier Long-Wear foundation in neutral. It’s almost the right colour but just not warm … Continue reading
Comme de Garcons Incense Series Jaiselmer Perfume Review
Incense Jaisalmer, for another freezing day and this one is warming me up with hot and dry spices. Cardamom and red pepper along with a dry cedar and palo santo are making me imagine a smoke that’s not there. The … Continue reading
