A Cleanser for Every Occasion

Hello Gals,

I’m sure cleansers are a staple in everyone’s skin care arsenal. If not, then they really should be.

Cleansers are the forefront of any skin care routine as they are the key players in  keeping  the skin clean and healthy. 

Although I have been known to fall asleep in my makeup on the odd occasion,  cleansing my skin is something that I am very passionate about, and is a step in my beauty routine that I try never to miss.  (Take a peek at “How to Revive the Skin After Falling Asleep in Makeup”)

One Lipstick, 3 Finishes.

Hiya Gals,

Getting the most out of my makeup is essential and by making a product versatile is a fantastic way for me to get the most out of it. 

One of my favourite product's to transform is lipstick.
