    review: elf 16 hr camo concealer

    Finding a good concealer is difficult. Finding a good concealer to replace an old favourite? Even more difficult. I absolutely adore the Hard Candy Glamoflauge Full Coverage Concealer, but it is becoming harder and harder for me to find. At the stores around me, the Hard Candy displays have either been removed or reduced, and there…

    first impressions: rimmel scandaleyes volume on demand mascara

    Rimmel used to be one of my favourite drugstore makeup brands. I purchased items from them frequently….and then I didn’t anymore.
