Started a Blog

I have wanted to start a makeup blog for a few years now. And this year I finally got around to doing it. Here is my 1st post ! Since I’ve started, I’ve written 70 posts with this one being my 71st. I have no idea why it took so long to start. But better late than never!

Makeup Flops

Wet n wild Mega Glo Vitamin E Makeup stick- Contour*Where’s Walnut -⭐

I bought this one to test out and I wasn’t impressed. I got the darkest shade and its the same color as my skin tone. I think it would have been nice as a bronzing stick with this color if it had an illuminating finish.

Longest I’ve Gone Without Wearing Makeup in a Long Time

Since I’ve started wearing makeup. I would wear it everyday even on the weekends. But at the end of this year I’ve had more days than not that I didn’t wear any. There was a time when I didn’t like how I looked without it. Yet surprisingly, this year, I have had more hyper-pigmentation and I was more comfortable without makeup than I was when my skin was clear.

Quote That Summarizes My Year

Wishing you a Happy New Year
