One of my goals for this year is to organise my life, and one of the big things is to declutter. With this in mind, I’ve recently embarked on a Project Pan in the interests of decluttering, reducing my environmental footprint and saving money (good ol’ student budget). For those of you not familiar with the concept, Project Pans are …
This week’s theme is Valentine’s Day. I’m not into the whole hearts and flowers pink girly thing, so for my Valentine’s Day nail art I went for dark, sultry vamp: The glitter on my ring finger (also on my thumb) is Alanna Renee Black Cherry, probably the most gorgeous vampy glitter I own! The dark red is Orly Smoulder, and …
I love my NIVEA Repair and Protection stick balms – so much that I’ve got 6 half-used tubes stashed around the house, in my handbag and at uni (in case of chapped lip emergency I guess?). So it takes a really good pot of lip balm to make me sticky up my fingers. Here are the two that I like …
For my giveaway you had to tell me your best organisational tip, and Anneke gave my favourite one: I love organisation and so naturally I am a big list maker. Trouble is lists get lost etc… So… we have a mirror on the back of our front door in our apartment and I keep whiteboard markers in the kitchen so …

While Lancôme is pretty much a skincare household name, I’d never tried their products, since I thought they were for mature skin, but I was proven wrong when I was given Génifique and Visionnaire, Lancôme’s “Super …
Happy day-after-Australia-Day! I hope all the Aussies had a good day, with Tim Tams, cheese and barbeques galore (heh). Yesterday was particularly exciting in my eyes because it was the birth date of Lacquerheads of Oz. This is a group blog that a bunch of Aussie nail bloggers/technicians/just plain obsessives (30-odd of us!) started, as a place to compile all …
I’m an Asian BB cream devotee – after my bad breakouts while using heavy MAC foundation, the combination of skincare and medium coverage was a happy medium. But I’ve tried to branch out lately with these new products (while also buying a 4-variety sample pack of Skin79 BB creams to feed my addiction of course). Arbonne Sheer Finish Tinted Moisturiser SPF15 …
