I’ve been loving a very pink makeup look recently. My skin hasn’t seen sunlight since my September trip to Italy, and I’m the palest I’ve been in a long time, so I find that a pink flush to the lips and cheeks is one of the most flattering looks I can sport. I always used…

The Drugstore Edit: Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow
Cast your minds back to last Thursday, and the little haul prompted by a shopping trip with the lovely Daphne. I picked up two of the Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadows. Think something along the likes of the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Sticks, or the By Terry Ombre Blackstar. What we’re dealing with is an incredibly…
