I skipped last month’s highlights so this edition will be a little thicker and juicier than usual, I’m sure you’ll forgive me! I’ve been extra selective about what I’m sharing, so you can be sure all these articles are worth your time. Having a “Glow” is the “Having it all” of the 21st century, and it’s tiring. The sans-serif minimalist logo is ruining my life with its boring ugliness. As...
NARS is launching a beautiful Man Ray-themed holiday collection this year – those eye palettes are so up my alley! I really enjoy the way NARS features photographers in their limited collections. Accompanied by gorgeous photographs, this article on the centuries-old art of perfume distillation in Kannauj, India is beautiful and evocative. Miles away from my own budget, ultra-luxury skincare brand La Mer is shrouded in myth and legend –...
I’m still waiting for the weather to warm up properly, but honestly in spirit I’m feeling very summery. In what may have been a somewhat self-destructive decision, I’ve been taking a full-time uni course that’s been really interesting – Visual and Material Culture.

I ended up shopping less than I was anticipating, actually, so this isn’t some kinda mega-haul. First up is KIKO, a brand that is available in Sweden too but I hadn’t had the opportunity to check it out. It’s on the lower end of mid-range in terms...
Something you hear over and over again in beauty reviews are comments on packaging – it’s often the first thing brought up by a reviewer. A lipstick bullet can be described as heavy, luxurious, or cheap and flimsy. That popular palette may be criticised for being too thick, or the material lacking durability. And this is not so strange – many of us are visual creatures, after all. Myself included –...
This issue is a little belated, as I was away over the weekend. I visited London for the first time in years, and had a hell of a time even if I may have overdone it with trying to fit as much as possible into each day. Here’s Weekend, issue 2. Kimberly Clark is one of my favourite youtubers, here’s her latest video in her ‘ANTI-HAUL’ series: Jeffree Star is...
