Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Beauty} Mirabella Lipsticks

MirabellaOver a year ago now on this very blog I shared with you my new-found love, the Mirabella lipsticks which I scooped from my then monthly beauty subscription box Love Me Beauty (I have since cancelled it). I mentioned how originally I was very skeptical of this lipstick brand as it was new to me and I did not think I would love any lipstick brand more than I love(d) MAC lipsticks.

It’s been over a year now and I am still wearing Mirabella lipsticks in Heat and Fever shades of red. I am still using the same lipstick from last year and it’s not finished yet, granted I do not always wear it daily but in a month I wear it 20 days out of 28. This tells you how good this lipstick is, most people I come across ask me what the brand is and when I tell them they don’t recognise it but I sure recommend it highly. With these two lipsticks I apply once in the morning and never do retouch and it stays on all day with the same intensity, it does transfer onto my mugs when I am having a hot drink onto  my skin when I brush my lips accidentally but even then at the end of the day it still has the intensity of first application which if I am honest still amazes me.

Mirabella Fever

I will say my lips do feel a bit dry at the end of the day if I did not apply a lip balm on them before applying the Mirabella lipsticks. I still recommend this brand of lipsticks and for christmas I am thinking of getting myself more from this company in different shades.

Have you ever heard of Mirabella? Have you ever used their products before? What did you think of their lipsticks?

    I’ve heard of this brand before, but I’ve never tried it. I find lip gloss is much more to my liking. Lipstick just feels to heavy to me lately.

      She will definitely love this brand, not sure what kind of lipsticks she likes but red is always a winner

    I love this shade of red especially for around the holidays. Red is the best lip color for Christmas, IMO! lol

    I love that it stays on with the same intensity even with drinking! That’s something I need, but I don’t often wear a lot of make up. I kinda want to change that just so I feel better about myself.

    Never heard of them before. But mainly because I am not into beauty products. 🙂 I use my mascara and foundation and that’s it.

    Mirabella lipsticks would be perfect for special occasions and holidays. They sound like they go on really well and they stay vibrant all day.

    I like the idea of a lipstick with real lasting power. It’s good that it lasts so long through the day and that you’ve had it so long.

    I’ve never heard of mirabella. I tend to wear lip stains instead of regular lip stick because my lips always feel dry, even if I apply balm before hand

    I think dry lips comes with any lipstick. I seem to have that problem with any and all brands. With that being said, I am in love with the color! It’s so bright and makes me smile! =D
