How is it Summer already? This year has really gone by in a blur. It seems like just yesterday that everything was fine, we were going about our lives in blissful ignorance about what was to come. In early January I was feeling very optimistic, then… March happened. It’s been four months of lockdowns, quarantines, etc. and we’re only now starting to see signs…

Well hello there! It’s been a while since I last posted. What with all the indoor & outdoor home projects, as well as working full time and going back to school online I’ve been incredibly busy.

I feel like my Hydrating Milky Collection haul just went up, but shortly afterwards the Retinol Jasmine Collection arrived. I’ll be honest I’ve barely started transitioning the Milky Collection into my routine, so I haven’t had much of a chance to use the Pixi Retinol Jasmine skintreats. My skin has been pretty high maintenance this year so I’m hesitant to immediately start using these…

I recently splurged on the Viseart Paris Edit Eyeshadow Palette, and I spent three days pondering do I really need this? Should I buy it? Even a few years in I’m not really used to the idea that my husband & I have two incomes. When…

Hey friends! Catrice Cosmetics sent me their HD liquid Coverage foundation to try out and let me tell you, I was blown away. I was worried that this foundation would let me down after my disappointing experience with the Catrice Self Made Bae palette, but thankfully I didn’t need to be concerned. Catrice also sent over their Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer but I…

I don’t know about you, but my skin was exceptionally dry this past winter. I was trying to keep the dryness at bay with hydrating serums & masks but the cold always gets the best of me. Back in March I had a bit of a reaction to some skincare I was testing. I’m pretty sure it was a bad combination of BHA and…
