10 Smart Ways to Save Money on Makeup
Believe it or not, there are plenty of ways to save money on makeup. 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.

I Tried the FOREO LUNA fofo, and It Changed How I See My Skin. Top Story - December 2018. Created with: FOREO.
Call me naive, but I honestly thought that my lifestyle would never catch up with my skin. I’ve always been told I have a very youthful appearance, and that I aged very well. Like most others out there, I do a little bit of cleansing, drink a little water, and live my life without really thinking about skincare too much.

Best Special Effects Lip Toppers for Photo Shoots
Let's talk about modeling, shall we? For a while, I was a professional model. These days, I still occasionally model for fun—and maybe a little bit of extra cash. However, I am not nearly as serious as I once was about it.

5 Lush Products That Will Change Your Beauty Routine
A lot of people struggle to find the perfect product when it comes to beauty, no matter their age, gender or ethnicity. This is because every skin has a different and unique texture and colour. Additionally, all of us experience different kinds of problems: some teenagers might have issues with acne, some others with spots, while adults may have scars they want to take care of. The cosmetics retailer Lush, however, has a huge range of products to help even the most challenging skin in getting better. Also, Lush contributes to sustainability of the society and the planet by using natural ingredients and recycling their pots and bottles, as well as selling 'naked' products, aka package-free.

Testing Milk Makeup
Let me start by saying, I am not someone who enjoys spending my money. My main weakness is clothes, but nothing I have is worth over £20 and I buy most secondhand or on sale. If I’m taking a long train journey, I use sites to split my ticket and make it cheaper. I nab discount codes off all my uni friends for anything I can, and if my boyfriend and I are getting a takeaway we halve the portions. It’s 2018, there’s no time to be careless with your earnings, am I right? So the thought of buying one item of makeup, something that will last a few months at most, for £20+ terrifies me. And yet here I am, writing a review on a brand that sells foundation for $42 (around £32) and four eyeshadows for $36 (£28).

Dream Skincare
I have always struggled with dry skin. I’m from an island originally, and grew up just an hour or so away from the sea. My living environment was always humid, so when I first moved to Alberta, my skin acted out so much that it was painful. For a long time I looked for solutions, I must have tried every lotion in the drugstores, but none seemed to do the trick. It was one thing or another, either the smell was wrong, the consistency, too greasy, too liquid, some would just plain not work!
