Since finishing my one-month minimalist beauty experiment, I’ve been busy researching possible new foundation/ skin care combinations. Now that my beauty cabinet is pretty much empty, I have the chance to reassess my needs and perhaps remedy the minor issues I had with my old solution. Here’s a quick round up of my decision-making process: [...]
I must say I am definitely not adventurous when it comes to my hair. I’ve pretty much had the same mid-length blunt cut all my life, only varying by a couple of inches. I do however consider my hair to be an important part of my personal style and over time have developed four simple [...]

Today is the last day of my one-month minimalist beauty experiment, hurray! I’m glad I only committed to a single month and not a day longer because my tinted moisturizer is now completely empty, during the past few days I had to scrunch up the tube to force out the left-overs :) I’ve received a [...]
My one-month minimalist beauty experiment is nearly over and I’ve been thinking a lot about how to go about re-stocking my product collection afterwards. In the fashion world, the concept of ‘investing’ in your wardrobe by buying high-quality pieces that last multiple season or even decades, is relatively established. Buy fewer items, focus on quality, [...]
Perhaps one of the best methods to figure out what you truly need is to force yourself to prioritize. Within the realms of curating the perfect wardrobe, this technique has gained quite a bit of popularity, from Project 333 to more general ‘shopping bans’. Many of the techniques I included in my post on how to Refine [...]

For the past couple of months I have been cutting it myself, about a centimetre every two weeks or so, which did ease the transition but also left [...]

Above all, I believe in the ‘less is more’ approach when it comes to skin care. Finding the right skin care regime is undoubtedly the most important and at the same time, trickiest part of streamlining your beauty routine, but once you have found it, you will be able to get away with less make [...]
After my first rather theoretical post on the minimalist approach to beauty, this article will show you how to apply the approach to streamline your current stock of products and everyday habits. The process is not rocket science and I won’t be prescribing you a detailed recipe for the ideal beauty routine; the point is [...]
It’s been nearly one year since my first make up routine/ organisation post, and although it might seem as though I haven’t changed that much, my approach has become a lot more refined: I have scaled down my product collection even further, developed a fuss-free routine, optimised my storage method and now only own products [...]
