It's Just Me

I always enjoy trying out new beauty brands, which is exactly what we’re doing in today’s post. We’re trying out an eyeshadow palette from the Polish brand MIYO makeup. I’ve never tried anything from them before, so I’m excited! I got one of their Five Points eyeshadow palettes in a PR package from Lyko, so I thought I’d tell you a bit more about this fun brand. Let’s talk about the MIYO Go To…

I got the opportunity to try a bunch of different brands I’ve never tried before. One of those is Ida Warg, a cosmetics brand from Sweden which mainly focuses on hair- and bodycare. The first thing that I got to try was the Ida Warg Vitalizing Enzyme Body Peeling. It’s a body peeling that uses both physical and chemical exfoliants and is perfect to create your glowy summer skin. Let’s see how it…

There’s something for everyone in their collection. So today I wanted to go over the three products that I’ve been trying out these past few weeks. We’re discussing the Colour Protecting Shampoo and…

Greenwashing: What Is It and How Do I Spot It?

In this day and age, a lot of people want to better the environment with everything they do. One thing I have learned is that your money is very important.

I remember Max&More having a concealer stick in their collection four or five years ago, but they have never had a…

Review: ANLAN Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber

Skincare is one of the most important parts of my routine, even more important than make-up. Skincare always goes first, because if your skin is not doing good, it will like your make-up even less. So, I like spending time taking care of my skin. Every morning and evening I apply my favourite products, and a few times a week I do just that little bit extra to really help my skin. Sometimes I like…
