Just coming on here to let you know I won’t have anything up today. I had a lipstick review planned of the new Essence lipsticks, but I didn’t get around to writing the post as I have been doing some work on my house over the past few days which has left me feeling knackered. So I decided to spend my last few days of fall break not behind a computer, but enjoying myself watching some Netflix and movies. The post I had planned for today will be up on Monday. There will be a video as usual tomorrow again.

I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the rest of your day!

Styling prints

Prints are some of my favorite way to add a pop to an outfit. Depending on the print you are wearing you can style up an outfit in a more classic, fun, statement way. I love how a print elevates any outfit from basic to something more. So I love wearing prints. Be it full on in a dress or more subtly in a shoe. I like playing around with combining different prints too, but mostly I love combining prints with different textures. Here is how I would style up 5 different prints.  styling prints

Catrice & Essence haul update

Catrice & Essence haul update

by indiequeen84 ♥ 4 Comments

In July & September I tried some new Essence & Catrice products in two different first impression videos. I always do these when these two affordable brands change up their makeup lines for the new season, which happens twice a year. So far I have gotten around to reviewing a few of the items I showed in those videos, but not everything will be making the review cut. That is why I figured I would film a video to give you my thoughts on them.  catrice & essence haul update

NYX HD Banana powder

NYX HD Banana powder

Since I practically used up my Bobbi Brown pressed powder, I was in for trying a new powder. I decided to go with a drugstore option this time. And it is another yellow toned powders. This banana powder by NYX is one I owned for a while, but I hadn’t gotten round to using it yet. Banana powders are usually not my favorite as they are usually too dark for my skin tone. How does this work out for me?

Book Review | September 2018

Book Review | September 2018

by indiequeen84 ♥ 1 Comment

I know we’re halfway through October, but I haven’t forgotten about my monthly reading update. I was a bit slow to start my reads in September. After my last read of August left me quite underwhelmed I felt like I didn’t know what I wanted to start reading next and so it took me some weeks before I got back on the reading train. I ended up reading 3 books in September, which given how busy work and life has been I still deem a success.  book review september 2018

Garnier Micellar Water for dry skin

Garnier Micellar Water for dry skin

by indiequeen84 ♥ 4 Comments

Micellar water is one of my favorite skin cleansing products. I have tried several over the years, but my favorite is and will forever be the ones that Garnier has brought out. However, one thing still missing from Garnier’s line was a micellar water formulated for dry skin. Bioderma has one and it would only be a matter of time before Garnier would do the same.

What’s in my bag | Whistles Cornelia

What’s in my bag | Whistles Cornelia

by indiequeen84 ♥ 2 Comments

It wasn’t too long since I last did a What’s in my Bag video, but I have already bought a new one! The reason? The one I last showed you was already falling apart. Plus I have been downsizing my daily items and thus no longer have a need for a super big bag. So when I found this leopard print Cornelia bag by Whistles in the ASOS summer sale, I knew I had to snatch it up.
