Restrictions are starting to ease for the most part. So much so that I ordered things online, forgetting that I could pick up beauty essentials in the supermarket or an actual shop. For many of us, buying habits when it comes to beauty products have changed dramatically, even indefinitely. Why head into a high street when most of what you ‘need’ can be found online? … Continue reading The products that saw me through lockdown
My approach to primer is similar to eye cream: If I remember- great. If not- it’s not the end of the world. I have always used primer for special occasions when I need my makeup to go the whole day. However recently, I’ve noticed that my collection of primers has unconsciously increased and I’ve been reaching to them more frequently before I apply my day-to-day … Continue reading Primers
