BEHIND-THE-SCENES UPDATE: December 25, 2023

I’m back in Germany and if everything goes well, this is actually permanent! I’m in the process of trying to move over officially. The more exciting news is the fact that I am engaged and plan to be married very soon! This is why I have so many posts discussing what I was able to bring and what had to stay behind, because I had a limit on how many beauty products I could bring over with me. At least a third of my makeup is still in the US, but I brought enough products with me that I will hopefully be able to continue posting content for this blog. Of course my posting schedule will be effected at some point because of all the things I have to do in my personal life like planning for the wedding, keeping up the apartment, taking a few courses in the city, etc. I’m in the biggest transitional period thus far in my life! I hope you, the reader, will continue to visit this blog as I go through this exciting life-changing time!

PREVIOUS BEHIND-THE-SCENES UPDATE: July 25, 2023

My main camera has had issues for a while now, but it’s now currently unusable. I have a few blog posts that are completed or nearly completed with all the necessary pictures, so that gives me a little time to try to figure out what to do next. When it comes to product photos, I have a backup camera and my cell phone which are just as good for that. However, I’m not certain how well either of those work for color accuracy of face photos. Past tests didn’t go well, so I will look into whether or not my camera can be repaired. I will also take test photos again to see how well or not my other cameras handle face pictures. Due to other expenses that have cropped up, and some in the 4-digits coming this fall and winter, simply replacing my camera is not an option at this time. I love this hobby, but I have to prioritize these expenses. So, I will do my best to figure out a solution.

This page will remain here as a guide to the blog!

On the left side menu are the links to my ongoing Series posts (ex: Fude Series, Low-Buy Series, etc.) along with “Recent Posts.” Cell phone and tablet users can click where it says Navigation to open the drop-down menu for those Series posts, as well as scroll to the bottom to see the most Recent posts.

The “Table of Contents” section will help you find a particular category you may be looking for (eyeshadows, lipsticks, perfume, subscription services, beauty articles, etc.). There is also a search bar if there’s a particular product or topic you have in mind already!

My blog officially launched August 16th, 2015. I haven’t stopped testing things out, so if I make any changes to the format you’ll find them noted right here on the main page. I hope to see you again soon, beautiful! 😉

Lili.
