Thirst Quenchers: 4 Hydrating Face Masks To Love

Hydrating-Face-Masks

When it comes to products like face masks, these days, I look for different things than I did while still battling acne. Back when I struggled with an extremely oily skin I loved products that left my skin feeling dry and completely matte. Today, I’m all about hydrated, plumped skin. Because that’s exactly what it needs. Most of the time, since getting off Accutane, my skin feels dry and tight. Moisturizers and serums are no longer enough, which is why…

Lovin’ Lately

At the beginning of this year, I shared my thoughts about buying too much makeup and being more mindful about my beauty spending.

7 Products + No Tools: My 5-Minute Face

You know what’s great about cream shadows? The fact that you don’t need to search through tens of brushes, there’s no fallout, and (usually) they’re very easy to blend and apply. Tom Ford’s Paradiso has been my favorite all summer (seriously, can’t stop wearing it). A lot of cream shadows look very unflattering on me, but this one right here is a keeper. It’s long-wearing, nicely pigmented with beautiful, rose gold undertones, and unlike some cream eyeshadows, it doesn’t irritate…
