TESTING OVERHYPED MAKEUP PRODUCTS There are some makeup products that get overhyped and in my experience they're usually are not as good as people build them up to be. But I was curious and did some testing on overhyped makeup products to see for myself. One of the brands is hourglass. The powders and blushes always get overhyped and I was actually excited to finally try them. Yes, I know they're not new but I'm always skeptical and I'm not one to try every product that's available. I only purchase what I'm truly interested in.(this post contains affiliate links, see disclosure policy) HOURGLASS The first product I tested was the Hourglass ambient lighting powder. This always gets so overhyped with claims that it makes skin look flawless. When I applied this I saw a big ... View Post
BEST DRUGSTORE ANTI-AGING SKINCARE
BEST DRUGSTORE ANTI-AGING SKINCARE Here's a list of the best drugstore anti-aging skincare. I always use a mix of drugstore and high end skincare.

The Cereve cleanser is called moisturizing cleanser. It's very gentle on the skin. This is great for cleansing your face in the morning. This is not something you'd use to remove your makeup. You can also use this as your double cleanse. If you're looking for a cleansing balm double cleanse combination I recommend the Pixie double cleanse. This jar has a balm on one side to remove your ... View Post

WHY YOU’LL NEVER LOOK YOUNGER
WHY YOU'LL NEVER LOOK YOUNGER I know this sounds harsh but at almost 54 years old my mature skin can really looked aged if I follow the advice from younger beauty gurus.

I was so frustrated! One of the first things that really changed was my under eye area. Concealers that worked started to ... View Post
