Makeup Products That Offer Sun Protection
Summer always seems so glamorous from far away: bathing suits, beaches, blue skies, sun.Those lovely UV rays can wreak serious havoc on your skin though, causing problems from unsightly sunburns, to tan lines, all the way up to the more serious, long-term side effects like melanoma. Protecting your skin from the sun requires real foresight; you cannot always apply the how-to's of protecting your skin from the sun naturally. It's important to always wear sunscreen and to take a break in the shade if you're feeling burned or dehydrated, but you can further protect your skin by using makeup products that offer sun protection as well.

This is for those people who know they live on a budget, but still cannot help themselves, or those who want to be wise and conscious customers (notwithstanding that they can afford it) who do not want to burden the environment with waste. I do not take responsibility for your hurt sentiments, except to say it is unintentional. Being sensitive about materialism (unless given by a loved one) is completely illogical and beneath us.

Minimalist Skincare Saved My Skin
Throughout my teenage years, I struggled consistently with cystic acne. My whole face was covered in deep, painful cysts that wouldn't go away. Even when one spot cleared up, dark marks were left behind that took months to fade, so even on good skin days my face was still red and blemished, and I couldn't face going outside without makeup.

11 MU Brands That Have The Best Designed Packaging
Disclaimer: I think that the reason eyeshadow palettes are the most popularly collected makeup product is because of the packaging.
