First thing’s first: I gotta say thank you for all the love you guys showed me on my previous post, where I talked about my struggles with acne. It’s been such a long journey for me, it’s not something that’s always easy to talk about and it made so happy to be able to share my results with you. You guys are seriously amazing! Now, let’s take a look inside this month’s makeup bag. Wearing makeup is definitely a lot…

All I have to say is this: it’s worth it. It is so worth…
It’s hard to stay calm and cool when one of my eyebrows is melting off (it always has to be the “good one”, too) and my hair refuses to cooperate with me. Also, my huge sunnies always leave those awful marks on my face while also removing half of my foundation. Can you relate?
