Mostly skincare this month, I’m afraid. My skin has this weird thing when it comes to micellar waters- it’s either indifferent to them, or they make it break out in huge, red, blotchy hives. Toward the end of my acne treatment, which left me with horribly dry lips, I discovered that micellar water does wonders to dry and cracked lips.

There weren’t 13478 different products to choose from. I remember once sitting in a makeup chair, getting my makeup done (duh) when the MUA grabbed a little brush, dipped in what I thought to be powder, and applied it right on top of my cheekbones and cupid’s bow and told me:…
