New in Beauty

If it hasn’t become abundantly clear yet, eyeshadows (or eyeshadow palettes in particular) are my absolute weakness. Well… that, and a good punchy red lipstick.

Since I’ve been on a bit of an unofficial shopping ban for the better part of this year, my attitude to capsule wardrobes, and minimalism (to an extent – but that’s another story for another day) has really shifted. I’ve embraced the idea of living with less, and how effortless getting ready each morning becomes with a carefully edited selection of pieces. I felt much less inclined to stick to the foundations of Project 333 for winter, instead taking a much more different approach to my capsule this season.
