Shifting Over to WordPress

I'll probably continue posting the review series over here but then I feel that I'll be shifting all of my writing over to the new WordPress version of this blog. You can expect a few more changes in the very near-future as it's time for me to kick this up a notc...

BIOTHERM Lait solaire: A Review

As previously mentioned, I'll be altering this blog's course as of June and, in the meantime, I am providing you with a series of summer product reviews. My criteria will vary, depending on the product, but I will test each out for a minimum of three consecutive days. I have nothing but praise for Biotherm's Lait Solaire. While I intend to use a higher SPF on my face, as the temperature rises, this is absolutely perfect for late spring/early summer. While I was in New York City, last week-end, I forgot to apply some lotion to my arms and they burned, whereas my face remained protected and moisturized. I love how this smells, I...

SPELLBOUND Nail Lacquer by Liberty Republic: A Review

For years I have been on the quest for the perfect red lipstick (I'm still looking!) but it had never occurred to me that I might want the perfect red nail lacquer. Then I received my April Wantable box and, quite unexpectedly, I found myself with just that, a colour called Omen, by Liberty Republic. I honestly have no interest in buying any other red nail polish again. The first coat is opaque and dries within just a few minutes and, once the second coat dries, you're left with a beautiful, wet-look finish that will make you crave delicious red things and make you want to make any motion that will put your nails on display. In addition...

More Musings: Where This Blog is Headed

I've mentioned this many times in the last year-and-a-half but, when I first created this blog, I knew what I didn't want it to be. While I can clearly see that what tends to work for style bloggers is for them to frequently post photos of themselves standing around in whatever it is they are wearing. I do get complimented on my style on a regular basis and I think I could probably be successful enough if I chose to follow suit but, in addition to the fact that I'm never been one to bleat along with with the rest of the flock, I think this is an empty path for a writer to take. As for as what I actually want goes, I've gone through a series...

Vaunte: A Mixed Review

When I got my tax return, last week, I decided it was time to buy myself a pair of designer shoes. I'm over shoes that hurt and smell like plastic and I want to start replacing what I own with quality goods. I decided I'd purchase a pair of Sergio Rossi heels, which were at a fraction of the retail price. I could see that there were a few tiny markings on the shoes but nothing major. All other photos in the listing made the shoes look like they were in great condition. I received my shoes today and was shocked and angered to discover that the two angles not shown in the listing were hidden for a reason. The inner side of the right toe and...
