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.

🩷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…

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…
