Lipgloss Honorable Mention:
I canāt believe I forgot to add the Wet Lip Oil Plumping Treatment Gloss in āFruitjuiceā to my Lipgloss Lineup. I absolutely love this because I have melanin rich lips, so at times itās hard for me to find pigmented lipglosses that stand out and donāt become diluted in color upon application. This peptide packed vegan formulation checks all of my lip quenching boxes. A definite must have and add to your lip collection.

Just me. No filter, no make up (except for the smidge of lipstick and lip oil mash up) and Sunlight. Iām gonna do more of these photos so you can truly see the benefits of a solid and consistent skincare routine.
Itās never too late to start implementing products, especially hydrating ones into your self-care regimen.
Beginner skincare in 3 steps:
š§¼Cleanser (gentle and hydrating)
š§“Moisturize
šSunscreen (SPF 30 or above)

Small Purse Essentialsš
As we approach āsmall purse, smaller dressesā season itās important to have our beauty arsenal on standby for those serendipitous summer nights. I personally love to carry a mini lipstick ( Mattetrance Elson) for those days of frolicking that turn into 2 am rooftop parties. Beauty Butter due to my occupation my hands are chronically ashy, so this keeps them hydrated and nourished. Beauty Elixir is the perfect midday refresher and it smells sooo good. Invisible Shield will forever be that girl. I have combo/oily skin and I hate the feeling of ātoo much productā on my face when I reapply my sunscreen throughout the day. This formula is super lightweight and translucent perfect for all skin types & tones. Winnie Harlow absolutely understood the assignment with lip gloss, itās giving early 2000ās natural beauty vibes (lip gloss and bamboo earrings). The formula has SPF 30 and offers a super glossy finish, loveee it! I have both her sunscreens as well and will review those very soon, so stay connected.
P.S. I also like to carry a travel size fragrance (it couldnāt fit in my hand) because reapplying perfume throughout the day needs to be normalized. I currently use Peony & Blush Suede

| Skin Purging vs. Breakouts |
ā¢Skin purging is your skinās reaction to an active ingredient (i.e. chemical exfoliants and retinol) causing minor acne symptoms.
ā¢The active ingredient encourages cell turnover at an accelerated rate, faster than the skinās normal renewal rate, which can bring blockages and congestion to the surface causing irritation.
ā¢Purging is temporary and usually lasts a couple days.
ā¢Purging can āsometimesā occur post-facial depending on the treatment and the amount of dead skin cells that have accumulated and were removed.
ā¢Purging is a good thing, your skin is detoxing embrace the process.
Ways to prevent Purging:
š¢Slowly integrate new actives into your routine to avoid over exfoliation.
š
°ļøApply retinol/retinoids only at night, once a week on top of your moisturizer or sleeping mask until your skin builds up a tolerance.
šIf purging continues longer than a week, discontinue use. Itās a strong possibility the product isnāt working or you could be having an allergic reaction.
_____________________________
ā¢Breakouts are whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, papules and cystic acne.
ā¢Breakouts have a longer cycle to come to the surface or āa headā 8 to 10 days, and can be slightly painfully for some depending on the type and the area of inflammation.
ā¢Excess oil (sebum) mixes with dead skin cells creating P.acne bacteria and appear in different areas on the face.
ā¢Breakouts can be caused hormonally, dietary (dairy, sugar, fried foods) or lifestyle choices (not removing make up, not double cleansing etc.)
Ways to prevent or manage Breakouts:
š§¼Exfoliate at least 1 to 2 times a week with an AHA or BHA
š§š½āāļøGet a facial every 4 to 6 weeks, if you can to receive professional extractions. If not, try to commit to getting seasonal facials for a deep cleanse.
š”Make the necessary dietary/lifestyle adjustments that are recommended by your skin therapist.

As of late, I have been gravitating to more light, aromatic and ethereal scents as a way to connect more with a simplistic version of my feminine energy. This trifecta of skincare, body care and aromatherapy have been a few of my go-toās that I absolutely love.
Hand Cream w/ Peptides is a vegan and fragrance free blend of multivitamins that instantly moisturizes. Niacinamide, a Vitamin B3 derivative is an anti-aging antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals. Peptides help to plump and improve the skinās barrier function and Marula oil nourishes and replenishes the skin. An all around win win.
Vinofresh Natural Aluminium-agree Deodorant. Iāve been using natural deodorants for over 15 years, and this is by far the best one Iāve every used. The translucent formulation of soothing Eucalyptus and prebiotic grape water rebalances the underarmās micro biome, effectively neutralizing odor. This is definitely one of those products that youāre gonna want to have a back up for your back up.
OrphĆ©on Eau de Parfum became an instant staple in my ever growing fragrance collection. When trying a new fragrance, I personally prefer a floral top note and a musk or woody base note and this blend checked all of my boxes. I love how this smells on me and judging from the barrage of compliments Iāve received every time I wear it, others do as well.
