In Hindsight, The Glitter Was A Mistake

Holly and Deer Christmas Manicure CBBxManiMonday Swatches

I seem to be in a bit of a rut with my nails.  I think something will look cute but the execution just isn’t there.  Plus, being injured, I can’t sit for long periods to do them so that wipes out some ideas.  Not sure what I expected this holiday themed mani to look like […]

Live Clean Liquid Hand Soaps Holiday Collection

Live Clean Holiday Hand Soaps

I wash my hands a lot between swatching.  You get glitter and pooling even with liquid latex and careful removal.  So a good hand soap is important.  Live Clean hand soaps are moisturizing while being 98% plant derived and paraben, phthalate and SLS free.  So helpful when you are washing your hands multiple times in […]

Beauty Lash Tinting Kit for Brows & Lashes Review

BeautyLash Sensitive Lash and Brow Tinting Kit Review

My mum ever let me pluck my brows into oblivion as a teen so I am lucky to have a decent amount of brow left in my 30s.  They are naturally fairly dark and thick and need constant waxing/plucking.  But I still get random light hairs in them and my lashes are lighter at the […]
