kit. Cosmetics Summer Fiesta nude eye shadow palette ‘Tis the season for giving and gifting, lazy weekend barbecues in the late afternoon sun, and limited edition make-up palettes which are so pretty you can’t wait to get your hands on them. Up until now, I’ve never paid much mind to Christmas gift guides, and seasonal Christmas gift sets – it never quite made sense to me. I’d long thought that the aforementioned gift sets primarily consisted of intense lavender scented body lotions and shower gels which were destined to spend their lives sitting at the very back of my bathroom…
So you may have noticed a few changes around here lately. A little less fashion, and a little more beauty. Well, it’s come as a little bit of a surprise to me too – the girl which for so long has shunned any traditional (read: obsessive) approach to beauty in favour of something a little more relaxed; a little more nonchalant, or at least so I’ve thought. I’ve been making videos (and who ever would have thought I’d be willingly putting myself on camera?), and I’ve been putting my face in sharper focus than I would normally dare, all in…
Some time ago, I read this quote about shopping for your wardrobe, which has really stuck with me. Buy less, choose well. It’s become something of a goal that I’ve aspired to.

Wearing J. Crew silk front tank The festive season has now well and truly begun – and since it is the season to be jolly, I couldn’t think of a better way to spread a little Christmas cheer than a giveaway to all my readers. I’m not sure how well you all know me by now, but there’s no denying how obviously impossible it is for me to leave a Karen Walker store without picking up a little something something. When I was back home a few months back, in addition to my usual splurge, I picked up a little…
It’s not often that I’ll find most of my beauty products need replacing around the same time. But, it’s given me the opportunity to try out a few new products I’ve been itching to purchase, as well as pick up some trustworthy staples. After a few months of daily use, I’ve finally run out of the PureTAN coconut body creme.

In the past I had never been able to justify the price…
