Letting Go

New Year.
Same goals.

We're: decreasing our spending, passing on products that would better suit others and decluttering our lives in general.

Liquid products that contain sunscreen have a shorter shelf life so please discard them as soon as you notice a consistency change. That was the case with my beloved tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier. You've already heard the story about the ABH Beauty Genius and that Iman cream-to-powder foundation is entirely too red for my complexion.

Passing on

In our Facebook group we're challenged ourselves to literally take stock of our collection. When those numbers start racking up you are faced with the realisation that it makes absolutely no sense to keep products that you're not using. Even if it was gifted to you; someone else could show it more love.

This was a follow on from the recent pencil eyeliner declutter. Everything above will also be passed on with the exception of that M.A.C eyeliner...

Long answer...

I've mentioned Good Genes a few times before on the blog. This 'all-in-one lactic acid treatment' is raved about by the likes of Stephanie Nicole and Caroline Hirons.

From the box: "Deeply exfoliates the dull surface of the skin for clarity, radiance, and younger-looking skin. Visibly brightens the appearance of age spots and discolorations. Instantly plumps the look of fine lines and wrinkles in 3 minutes*

Summer Standouts

By
It feels strange to talk about beauty products with all that's going on in the Caribbean. Our neighbours are going through some seriously trying times and I implore you to give whatever you can. 🙏

I didn't even realise that this was a running theme. Last year's was especially good since it featured some of my favourite combinations. Like last year, makeup seems to have taken a backseat this Summer.


There's only one item here that surprised me...but let me not get ahead of myself.
Y'all know exfoliators are a must in my skin and body care routine so the Bath & Body Works 'Lavender & Sandalwood' Clay Body Scrub and Coco Shea 'Coconut' Richly Nourishing Body Buff (thanks to the Mistress!) should come as no real shocker.
