At the beginning of this year, I shared my thoughts about buying too much makeup and being more mindful about my beauty spending. After getting rid of a huge portion of my beauty collection, I try to rotate between some of my favorite products, rather than letting them sit and collect dust. Tarte’s Tartelette palette is one of my favorite eye palettes in my collection. Love that it’s an all-matte palette, the shades are beautiful, they blend very easily and go…
Mostly skincare this month, I’m afraid. My skin has this weird thing when it comes to micellar waters- it’s either indifferent to them, or they make it break out in huge, red, blotchy hives. Toward the end of my acne treatment, which left me with horribly dry lips, I discovered that micellar water does wonders to dry and cracked lips.

Mindful Manicure Collection*, it’s exactly how I felt. I mean… hello.. nail polish + mindfulness? That’s like a dream combo for me. The collection includes 5 mood-enhancing polishes, each having a unique iridescent finish that is infused with real gemstones; “Better Together” is infused with rose quartz…
