If you been a reader of my blog for a while now you'll recognise my support for cruelty-free makeup and skincare as well as my interest in Korean beauty. And with those in mind, this post came about.

I know it can be difficult to find out whether a foreign brand is cruelty-free or not since, as much as I would love to be, I'm not an expert in every language. So I thought it might be of help to compose a list of brands for everyone. I hope it will be of use to some of you!

Well, October, it's been fun [and stressful] but I think it's time to part ways for another year. So hello November, I hope we'll have as much fun as October was.

And with another month, you know what that means. It's time for another look inside my bullet journal to see how I've set it out to tackle November.

If anyone remembers back at around the start of the year and once again in the middle, I wrote some blog posts with the intention of reviewing online clothes retailers, in the hopes of it being helpful for you all. Well, we can see that never really took off!

However, when FemmeLuxe, a brand I have seen floating around in the blogosphere recently dropped me an email asking if I would like to try out some of their items I saw the chance to be able to add another segment to this series.

What is the one thing we have the tendency to miss out from out of our skincare routines?

I don't know if it's just me or not but one thing that I never give its own step is UV protection. Don't get me wrong I like to include it in other products but I've never specifically gone out a purchased a product for the purpose of protecting my skin from the sun.
