Notoriously Morbid’s November 2016 Vanishing Cabinet

This is a little bit late I suppose but I strongly suspect that you’re used to that sort of behaviour on this blog. It’s part of the charm that is Gym Bag Makeup! I actually love the theme of this month’s Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet Subscription; Charmed. Charmed is still a guilty pleasure show for […]

Marc Jacobs Glow Stick Highlight – Spotlight

So. Marc Jacobs. Where to begin? I don’t have extensive experience with the Marc Jacobs makeup line as a whole, but I have to say, most of the items in the line seem perfectly fine, but boring and a bit basic and not interesting enough to warrant the rather hefty price tags.

Review – Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer

This week is all about the sparkle and shine. And the barrage of posts by me (this is what happens when I’m given vacation time).
