A quick little step that makes such a difference. I use this before mascara when I want my lashes to look a little more lifted and awake. It only takes a few seconds, and the rose gold is pretty enough to leave sitting out on my vanity.

One of my favorite little end-of-day extras. These are soft, reusable, and make taking off my makeup so easy. I love having five in the set so I can use a fresh one each day and toss them in the wash when I’m done.
