Review of the Augustinus Bader Lip Balm.
I feel like my lips are always dry. It’s embarrassing and frustrating. Should I just drink more water? Probably. Will I? Maybe (she says doubting even that lack of commitment). Will I just buy a new lip balm in hopes of it solving all of my problems? You bet I will. That is why I…

Augustinus Bader rich cream: A quick dry skin type review
The last skincare review I posted about was the Sunday Riley Good Genes. Well, that was mess. After likely over-exfoliating my face, I was left with skin in worse condition than when I started.

Brand Spotlight: Thebe Magugu- The Backstory
His begins in Kimberley, a small town in South Africa. It is perhaps best known for its diamond mines, and I am really trying hard not to make a comment about how he is certainly one of their best gems. Magugu recalls first taking an interest in fashion upon seeing the way his mother, aunt,…

Patchology lip masks saved me. I want more.
Confession, I had been just dealing with dry lips. I got away with blaming winter, my constant use of face coverings, my chronic dehydration, and even my unsuccessful search for the perfect lip balm. For whatever, I chalked it up to the way things were. And then I got tired of it and made an…
