MY FACE MASK REVIEW

July 13, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great start to the week. If you read my updated skincare routine, then you already know how I have changed it up quite a bit from trying Korean skincare to avoiding some products entirely. I have been into skincare for quite some time now, and after getting the routine that suits me and my skin type, it still hasn’t made it easy when my skin decides to just breakout out of nowhere or sometimes due to the dreaded hormones, either way, it’s a battle I am trying to conquer. I added some facial masks to my routine which I am liking. This is my face mask review and it’s an updated version.

MY SKINCARE ROUTINE UPDATED VERSION

April 7, 2021 26 Comments

Let’s talk skincare,

It took me a while to figure out what my skin really needs, and had to learn how to keep up with it during changing seasons and hormonal breakouts. I started researching more about Korean skincare, and the number of steps it takes for daytime and night-time routines were too much for me. After trying it for a while I noticed that I needed to reduce some of the products since my skin was taking none of that layering system, so I decided to create my own spin on Korean skincare with the number of products my skin can take. If you read my post on the best tips for sensitive skin, then you now know that my skin has become super sensitive and I have to be very careful when I choose products to apply to my skin and body too. This is my skincare routine updated version.

I also know that with this pandemic, self-care is important so before we are released to the world without restrictions, I decided to just share what has been working for me and if you need some ideas for some products. Also, it’s been a long time coming for me to actually stick to a routine that works and hasn’t caused me major skin problems hence the no photo sessions in most of my posts. Hoping to change that soon since my camera roll is empty.

April 3, 2017 10 Comments

Hello everybody

I hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready for this week. Today was one of those days where I woke up all confused and a bit down which is not a good feeling at all. After minutes of trying out positive thinking which didn’t work by the way, I decided to destruct myself and just go ahead and clean my makeup brushes which I had been ignoring for some time now. Don’t you just love having clean makeup brushes until you need to clean them all over again then wonder why you torture yourself, it’s all for the love of makeup people. I have tried many ways of cleaning my brushes until I found an easy way. This is how to easily clean your makeup brushes.

You will need two things, vinegar and washing up liquid(I use dish soap)

EAT, SPRAY, LOVE

February 9, 2017 No Comments

Hi everyone, can you believe how fast this week is going? So today was one of those days where the weather decided to just do its own thing. It’s either raining, drizzling or too windy and believe me, it’s not pleasant at all. Well, I ended up forgetting my umbrella when I went to pick up my son from school and the rain decided that it was the best time to pour down the minute I started walking, like really? That’s when I thought of this title eat, spray, love like honestly.

Enough of my ranting

Anyway, now that I’ve let that out, let’s talk about perfume. I mean who doesn’t love smelling good. Today, I noticed that some of my perfumes were either not really moving amount wise and another was almost finished and made me think on how many times I may be choosing one from another.
