Despite my love of beauty, I’ve fallen off the bandwagon of chatting through things that I do (and equally don’t) like. Generally these tend to be drawn out by weeks (and sometimes months) of testing, where I feel the need to unpack many, many thoughts. Instead, speedy mini reviews on a monthly basis seem like that sweet spot, to share what I’m loving in a digestible, bite-sized way. Also slightly old school… remember those regular beauty favourites videos, anyone? Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser My go-to morning cleanser. I’m quite specific here, as I find a lot of cleansers which…
Summer is slowly starting to come to a close; transitional season outfits are on the horizon, so I’m trying to make the most of my warm weather wardrobe favourites. Noteworthy this week is that I’ve been at pains to wear more colour in my every day.
