A look back at Colourpop. Before the fun got sucked out of the colour- for me.
A Tale of Two Sunscreens
How a small chit chat about sunscreen at work turned into an existential spiral about skincare.
When Did Makeup Peak?
I'm interested in hearing your saucethoughts, Beautiful Blossoms! Has makeup peaked around 2016, when beauty vloggers were hawking left and right about their OGs, their favorites, their must haves, etc.? Or have we yet to witness the peak of makeup? And yes, just as with fashion, makeup styles go through cycles, but in this current …
Well, Hello There :D
Goodness me, it never occured that I am about to close in on one year since I last posted to this blog. And so much has happened with the beauty scene that the Mr. Krabs meme wouldn't be much of a strech in describing how I'd look and feel in trying to keep up with …
BBA Musings: The Older I Get…
As I approach the annual celebration of having orbited around the Sun on Earth, a painful bout with sciatica had me looking at my lip product stash.

It was a widely-held belief that the cosmetic industry is (almost) recession-proof, and it's easy to see why - how many times have makeup lovers declared that their favorite makeup item would have to be pried from their cold, dead hands? Or the countless times that if a decision had to be made between makeup …
Beauty in the Time of COVID
There's... arguably a lot of material for me to blog about regarding the beauty scene and the elephant in the room - inflation.
Happy New Year!
It's been a super long time since I last wrote on the blog - unfortunately, I just had too many life events taking place that required every ounce of my strength and attention to resolve and/or power through (some are recurring issues), leaving me very little time to focus on this blog. But believe it …
