Ah, another skincare post *cracks knuckles*.

I’m like a kid in a candy store when it comes to skincare, especially at my job. It’s like adventuring through aisles of aesthetically pleasing products that hold everything from stellar ingredients to promising results. There’s nothing like admiring your skincare products lined up on your bathroom counter. Don’t laugh at me, I know some of you do it too.

Bad Gal Bang

How do I say that I hate overhyped launches or new products without sounding pretentious? I work at Sephora, where we always have the newest and hottest products from highlighters that can make you glow to the heavens or moisturizers that will fill your skin with hydration like a water balloon. I'm just picky with what I get truly excited about and look forward to.

Let's Be Frank

I’m all for a cheeky comment...or two. I live for the dry, funny moments where everyone pauses before they actually get my jokes that I supply on the daily. I also like to be overwhelmed with emotions whenever anyone compliments me ever. 

You can only imagine how excited I was when I discovered Frank Body and their catchy, tongue-in-cheek slogans on their natural, skin loving products. Everything they make is based around the most natural of ingredients, specifically coffee. Enter my caffeine addiction. Now I can put it on my face too? Sold. I’ve known about the Australian based company for a while since my friend tried it but I never around to trying it myself until a few months ago. 

Well, you could say we’re getting on really well.

Into The Gloss(ier) Edit

I present you with not only a Blessed post about Glossier, but also a quote from the legendary Cady Heron: ‘The limit doesn’t exist.’ But what makes us different is that she was talking about a math equation and I’m talking about makeup and skincare. Shocker I know, but Cady would respect me because I made my first Glossier order. Clearly I can’t have enough stuff in my collections. And Glossier’s theme color is pink, what’s better than that?

I could never decide on what to order but I had some idea of what I wanted to try. The makeup didn’t really speak to me, other than Boy Brow, which my friend gave me. I also got the Haloscope highlighter stick too which is unlike anything I’ve ever owned. I finally placed my first order not too long after and decided to go for the Balm Dot Com and Milky Jelly Cleanser (!!).

To be honest the makeup is more do it yourself/no brush needed which isn’t really my cup of tea. That makes me sound more difficult than I am but whatever. Glossier’s skincare was way up my alley, so I ordered the Milky Jelly Cleanser ‘cos everyone knows I’m a sucker for a cleanser. The Balm Dot Com is a uber loved by the masses via Instagram and everywhere else, the hard part was just deciding on which one to choose. My thoughts? Get ready.
