Here are the contents of my makeup bag, accurate to two weeks ago today. In all honesty, I’m not a huge fan of the Camo Luxe palette and so that has since been swapped out (for Tilbury’s Vintage Vamp, if you…
Best Beauty Buys with Nadine Baggott. There are a lot of Bs in that title – it’s a good job Nadine wasn’t named Brenda! I have two very professional, completely serious videos for you to catch up on. I promise…
As I scrape the very last remnants of cream from the bottom of the glass jar, I find myself missing Herbivore’s Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Cream before it has even reached the recycling box. Unusual for me, because quite a…
