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! 😉

BEHIND-THE-SCENES UPDATE: January 1, 2026

Due to several things going on in my personal life, I will be extending the blogging break for an additional few weeks. It is my intention to return to blogging in the first week of February.

Wishing you and your loved ones a good start to the New Year!

PREVIOUS BEHIND-THE-SCENES UPDATE: February 8, 2025

I noticed a discrepancy every so often between the way my photos looked on my phone versus my laptop. I thought it was a screen quality difference or that it was a lighting issue, but what was actually happening is the colors and quality were getting slightly warped in the app I was using to transfer photos between my two devices. This doesn’t happen with all my pictures, so I didn’t catch on earlier. For example, in the photo below, on the left shows my original upload where the edges of the blush have harsh pixelated edges. On the right, shows how it actually photographed. I do not use smoothing tools. The only “photoshop” I do to my face is removing two moles around one eye. I leave all other flaws alone. So, the color resolution issue worsens the photos to a degree that I can’t let it be.

It is going to be a massive project to search through tens of thousands of uncategorized files to find the right pictures I used, crop and resize them, and reupload them. So, at least once a week, I will replace the botched photos in my previous posts by order from newest to oldest. I have already made changes to last week’s YSL Blush Post, which had the most issues.

FINISHED FIXES: November 2024 and onward
