    What Came In The Mail: Sonia Kashuk Lavish Luxe 10-Piece Brush Set

    This is a really late post about the brush set the boyfriend gifted me with last Christmas. He got me the limited edition Lavish Luxe brush set by Sonia Kashuk and I have to say, despite the set being cheap as chips, it doesn’t really feel like it! The set contains all the essential brushes… Continue reading

    Review: Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

    I am a long-time Maybelline lover because of their watershine lipstick range. I stuck to a single shade, which was Candy Apple Red for years on end even though Maybelline introduced different iteration of the watershine range.
