Makeup Removing Dream Team
I’ve tried countless makeup removers in the past. None removed everything they were supposed to. That is, until I started using these two products together. They work so well as a team, to remove every last bit of makeup, including mascara! I first apply The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter to my dry face. Working it in until is all melted into my skin. I then wet my hands and work it into a lather. I bring this right up into my lashes to begin breaking down the mascara. This does not remove all the mascara on its own, but it does most of the work. For the second…

Skincare Overhaul | Part 3
It’s been over six months since my last skincare overhaul post so I figured it was about time to update y’all on my recent skincare additions and how they’re working for my problematic skin.

Autumn Beauty Wishlist
These are the top five beauty items I’d like to add to my collection this season. The last few months, I’ve been focused on face and lip products and am pretty happy with my collection in those departments. This fall I’d like to add more eye products to my arsenal. Mac Warm Neutral Eyeshadow Palette – I don’t own any Mac shadows, but everyone says they’re amazing. I was going to build my own 15 pan palette, but it’s cheaper to buy the ready-made palette. Also, this warm neutral one has all the colours I love, there isn’t one I wouldn’t use. So yes, I’d be losing the customizability, but…
