    Glossy Graveyard Project Pan Intro 🪦

    I’m doing the 2025 Graveyard Project Pan by @emilynmax! If you’d like to join or learn more about it, her intro is here. It’s a super fun idea where you pick 5-10 items that are either “resurrection” (was in a previous project pan and didn’t get used, or you’d like to use more afterwards) or…

    Sad Girl Beauty Tips

    For sad girls of any gender. Inspired by the very helpful book How To Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis and by sharing tips with fellow depresso friends. Makeup and general beauty routines help me feel my best (and my therapist has told me to keep doing them) but it feels impossible and overwhelming…

    🩷March Loves

    Some fun things that helped get me through this goddamn month. Makeup: Fwee pudding pot in Hurt. I bought this in part because of the emo name, but it’s so versatile and easy to use. The packaging is super cute too and reminds me of a fat glass macaron. More makeup: Colourpop BFF Creme Gel…

    Scents of Summer

    One thing I love about scent is how strong the connection between smell and memory is. I like to think in years to come some of the scents I use the most during a specific season will bring me back to that time. Here are my most reached-for scents of summer 2024 (so far!). Snif…

    Palette Dupe: 🍎 Too Faced “Appley In Love” 🍏

    On Duping There are lots of reasons to avoid buying new makeup. Maybe you want to save money, reduce consumption by participating in the under-consumption “trend”, get more use out of what you have, or just like the creative exercise. Maybe you don’t want to support certain companies for certain… 🍉 political reasons 🍉. TL;DR,…

    C- and K-beauty Lip Reviews 💄

    I started dipping my toe into Asian beauty products during 2020 when I went on a bit of a Korean skincare binge (we all had our ways of coping, that was mine). The skincare obsession gradually became a makeup obsession, and because some sites that sell K-beauty products also carry C-beauty, I started to get…

    Panning: 24 in ’24 Very Late Start

    I’m a big fan of makeup panning as a practice. It’s refreshing to focus on using up makeup instead of just blindly acquiring more (even though I’m definitely guilty of that, too). This is an odd time to start a year-themed project but I’m finding myself tempted to buy more these days and panning brings…
