Hitting It Out of Biscayne Park
Into the Gloss can't label NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park as "quite possibly the perfect nude?" without basically commanding me to buy it. I remember swatching the new range of lip crayons by...

What's in My Makeup Bag
Rather than doing an updated What's in My Bag post, I thought I'd feature what's in my makeup bag instead. There's still some overlap in terms of the products, but the main difference is that I have a...

Someone Like Yu
My last HQhair order contained not just NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park, but also Yu. It was an immense struggle to pick just two colours, but any more would've been too much damage to my...
