Lush Naked Skincare Tea Totaler
Two years ago, I discovered LUSH. I have sensitive skin with a touch of rosacea. I’m ruddy at best, but red all the time. I still have acne around my chin. I used to get really bad hormonal cystic acne especially under my chin. My cheeks are dry. I’d always been terrible at using products because nothing seemed to work and its always so expensive to keep buying things that work for a little bit then stop, or just burn, or do nothing. Nothing seemed to be sold to deal with the redness which is my biggest concern and I was always either oily or parched. I decided to try LUSH because I thought that an English company might have products for redness. I went in and was introduced to their skincare. They gave me samples and I never looked back. I’ve become a total Lushie. I love all the new products. I always want to know what’s next. I watch the Youtubers. It's an addiction. But my skin has never looked better. The best part is that I love using the product, so I actually wash my face and put lotion on. (Most days. Let’s be real, life is hard.) I went in a few weeks ago to pick up my usual cleanser, Aquamarina, and was greeted by the new naked skincare line. I had to know all about it.

It’s something that us ladies are buying all the time, but the high prices make it almost impossible to refresh your product with the trends that are in. What’s a girl to do if you can’t get the makeup that you want at a price that you love? The first and only step is to taking a deep, relaxing breath; it’s not as hard as you might think to find makeup for a fraction of the price.

Review: Down Under Natural's Shampoo & Conditioner
During my second year of university, which was only in 2017-2018, I am still trying to learn how to budget properly. As someone who likes to spend money, I decided to try to make it a little easier on myself and start by looking at what I'm purchasing and paying attention to price tags. The first thing I did was look at my bathroom essentials and started a list to see what I could bring down.

New Nudes by Huda Beauty
Pigment All of the mattes and shimmers have stellar pigmentation on my medium/honey/tan neutral undertone skin. They do translate as different colours for me. But I have seen people with much fairer complexions state that all the colours translate as the same thing for them. So generally, while I do think that whatever works for me will most definitely work for someone lighter. And that is what I have seen even with this particular palette online for the most part. But I have heard some negative reviews from lighter people about it being muddy for them. I cannot apply the same logic with darker skin people, because whatever works for me does not necessarily work for darker people. But I have seen many darker people loving the palette.

10 Matte Red Lipsticks You Need to Have
For anyone who is into the makeup scene, you’ll know that finding the perfect shade of red lipstick can be a never-ending scavenger hunt. However, it is a hunt that women will never give up, because red lipstick is something every girl needs in their makeup collection! Matte red lipsticks are sold by almost every cosmetic brand, so finding the exact right one can be challenging. Do you prefer liquid lipsticks or a matte lip that comes in stick form? Do you like a glossy finish? All of these will go into your choice when you choose your matte lipstick. A bold lip will go a long way though, so the search is worth it.
