Bio
My name is Felicia Anastasia Bardan, I am an Australian-Romanian, a Forensic Biologist and certified nerd! I currently work at The Australian Centre for Ancient DNA in Adelaide helping to identify missing Australian WWII soldiers. I love reading, exploring new places or new ideas, and I am totally bird-obsessed! I have a Lovebird named Honey who will most likely feature in some of my blog posts, keep an eye for the little pecker!
To start with, my blog will be about all my personal experiences with beauty products and services. I want you to join me on my journey through the beauty world. I want to you be here with me through every step, whether it be opening a product for the first time, finishing products I would literally die for, or lamenting with me when I experience something I don't like. I want you guys to see it all!
Growing up, I was one of those ratty, endlessly dirty girls (my Dad's nickname for me literally means 'line of dirt' in Romanian). I was always either outside messing around, being adventurous, or was inside reading - I love reading, it's one of my big passions. It took me a while to really start exploring and using makeup, and when I did I was totally hooked straight away. As I started establishing myself in my studies and work, I quickly found that the world of beauty was my little slice of secluded Heaven on Earth, where I could escape the daily pressures and commitments of my scientific nerd life. As a scientist, experimenting came naturally to me, and I began to love the 'science' behind the cosmetics industry. But behind all the geekiness, I'm a woman just like you. To put it simply, someone who just loves hair and makeup, and loves upping the glam factor to make my confidence levels spike.
A big part of me also believes that beauty isn't always superficial. It's also about the way we think, and how we treat ourselves and others around us. I've grown up in a pretty competitive environment, girls always bringing other girls down for reasons that do not substantiate the effects of their judgment and criticism. I know this type of mentality can never be fully erased, but we can help to prevent other girls from falling into this trap. Beauty also isn't all about a perfect brow game, full lashes, strong winged eyeliner or a poreless face. It's not always so easy, some of us females deal with issues that can get in the way of our confidence, and I want to speak about them too!
"What's in this blog for you", you say? Well, I want to use this platform to deliver a delicate balance of sarcasm, reality, sass, sexiness and beauty. I always aim for authenticity, integrity and honesty in my reviews and my experiences of products. I want to provide a place of service to you, with good intent and even better content! Mostly, I just want to inspire the every day woman to broaden their horizons in the world of beauty. If this blog sounds like a bus you want a seat on, then get your ticket by following me, I'd love you along for the ride.
