Powder your face

Face powder is one of those products I’ve always carried with me. In high school, I would always ask my BFF Zoe if my face was shiny. My face was always shiny, today less so than it was back then, but I still keep a powder compact on hand.

Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil

I got a sample of this a while ago, and after I received it, I still had no idea what it was supposed to do.

Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap Review

 

This soap is on every single blog. I swear. I see it all the time. But I’ve never read anything about them. It’s just added as a pretty detail to some assortment of other products.

Beauty Blender Review

A few years back I was obsessed with these, obsessed people. These sponges are amazing, they assist with applying makeup in such a way that your makeup looks amazing every single time, seriously.  But then I stopped, I got lazy, using a sponge was costing me precious seconds, so I just used my fingers. I know, be horrified.
