RMS ‘Un’ Cover-Up Concealer/Foundation Review

I started a no-foundation routine a few weeks back, which turns out to be rather pleasant experience with lots of learnings, I’m still in the process of gathering my thoughts and will share that in a bit later. But today, I need to take a moment to talk about the RMS ‘Un’ Cover-Up Concealer/Foundation, which has been has been a total standout from my no-foundation challenge. I have had this pot for quite a while (in all honesty, it probably has past its due date),…

I’ve Tried A Bunch of Drunk Elephant Products, and Here Are My Thoughts

Almost from the beginning of the brand inception, Drunk Elephant has managed to build a cult following in the speed of flash.

Glossier Products I’m Still Using and Repurchasing

When Glossier recently launched Glossier Play, it reminded me how long I’ve actually been in this committed relationship with some of the Glossier products. I have zero resistance every time when Glossier launches a product, which hasn’t been the case with Glossier Play, so naturally I’ve accumulated and tried most products in their line, from skincare to makeup. And years later, here are the ones I’m still using, loving, and may even repurchasing. The Glossier Priming Moisturizer Rich: this has been one of the standouts…
