My My My
Confession: I have edited my pictures on social media for as long as I’ve HAD social media. I don’t change a lot, at all. Really the only thing I change is the texture of my skin. I started this when I was only 15, when I first started on Facebook. There was this app called…

Not for me, but maybe for you?
BECCA Cosmetics Skin Love Glow Shield Prime & Set Mist – $32 The scent was a little off – like nature but almost too natural, and the product was a bit drying to my skin. I received this product complimentary for review purposes. I’m not sure I would recommend to others as other brands offer similar products…

Retain All
My skin has been freaking out these past few years. I had beautiful skin as a teenager, hardly ever a blemish. Now, as a 20-something, I’m constantly battling adult acne. What gives? This past summer, I had a particularly bad skin reaction that led to a strict no-selfie period (due to heightened self-consciousness) and an…

And, for those non Hawaiians…Hello sun! The biggest thing recommended for younger clearer skin, by far, is sunscreen. You need sunscreen. My pasty white self, especially, needs sunscreen. I was pumped to put Hawaiian Tropic’s new Antioxidant + lotion in my bag. Its creamy formula moisturizes your skin while protecting with a 30 SPF. The…

Go Smile
I have always been self-conscious about the whiteness of my teeth. When I was 6 years old, a boy I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW on the playground took one look at my teeth and told me to brush more. After inspecting in the mirror, I realized that it wasn’t that I needed to brush more – I…

Celebrity Big Brother Style Knock-off
I’ve wanted to try something like this ever since seeing Brandi Glanville wear hers around the Celebrity Big Brother house, and I’m not the only one. She confirmed herself that she uses the $6 Bella Simplace gold eye mask patches, but I couldn’t find that online, and that was back in 2014. So she very well…

ORIGINal
Origins Clear Improvement™ (Origins, $27) It’s a mud mask. There’s other ones. They cost less. My skin doesn’t love them, they dry me out. But I’m breaking out right now so this sample came at a great time. My skin does not appear to have hated it. It as very smooth, easy to apply, easier…
