I’m on my journey to correct the scars and texture now!

Everything here is gentle, hydrating, and made with clean ingredients. Let me know what I’m missing!

I am a makeup every single day kind of person. I love getting up, making myself a cup of tea, and getting down to business at my vanity. However, being this way can get expensive. In the last 15 or so years I've been doing makeup, I've learned what works, and what doesn't. These are my everyday makeup recommendations as a woman in her 30's who has combination skin with an oily T zone. Hope these help anyone who is trying to save a little bit of money, but still look snatched!

I love a quick, easy, natural, and minimalist makeup look. While I don’t use ALL these products for my basic every day makeup, they are all great for your buildable look depending on how in-depth you want to be with your look.

(On Sale RN!) I’ve been using these since high school, and I swear by them. I wear them every day and all night. They literally only come off to put a new set on. I sleep, shower, and aggressively nap in them, and they still hold up. I don’t baby them, I’m just careful when rubbing my eyes. If a cluster falls off, it’s easy to patch later, but it’s not super noticeable, so I usually just wait until it’s time for a reset. People ask me about them all the time because they hold up so well and look pretty without being overly dramatic. They look done, but they’re a lot less dramatic than other lashes, which I love for everyday wear, just going to classes, and low-key days.
love all scents sweet, floral, and warm. vanilla girl at heart. love layering scents and exploring my signature scent. can’t recommend these drug store and luxury perfumes, body sprays, and fragrances enough because they are just that good.

One of the biggest challenges I had moving from the East Coast to Colorado was the change in my skin. I went from oily to dry. Skin flooding has been a gamechanger in Korean beauty for years and it's worth the hype. The key is to layer toners on your face for absorption.

As a girl who lives in a tropical country and have colonized beliefs engrained to stay white despite being naturally brown.
I try to figure out the skin care routine that works for my oily-combination, sensitive skin. Because my skin usually gets used to products and fights it and then I have to buy a new product to test out, which is tiring—but I guess it can help you out when it comes to developing your own skin care routine.
