Two of My Favourite Shower Staples

Hey y’all, If you know me at all, you’ll know that I am a hoarder of the nth degree. Especially when it comes to cosmetics… but it doesn’t always have to be.

This week, I used up a bajillion samples and I’m honestly really proud of that. I think I’ve gotten a bit obsessed with finishing things up and sorting out my stash, which I’m going to take as a good thing (if not a little bit OCD). I get such satisfaction out of doing this! Does…

My First Experience With Q-Depot, the Mecca of Online K-beauty Shopping

A little while ago, a new Korean beauty store called Q-Depot contacted me to review a few products from their website. I’d never heard of them before, but Shah (their representative) was lovely and I always love to support newcomers! Plus, who can say no to Korean beauty products?! (Not I, that’s for darn sure.) I…

A Little Review of Missha The Style Beautiful Tint (Yes, That’s the Name)
