Thoughts on the Laneige cream skin moisturizer (honest opinions from my dry skin)
Many people have talked up Laneige to a level that makes is seem like magic sent from fairies. Their lips are always lush. Skin always dewy. Meanwhile, I tired the lip sleeping mask and found my lips becoming flakier and flakier as time progressed. I tried the Lip Glowy Balm, even bought a three pack…

Brand Spotlight: AGR- Collections through SS23
Alicia Robinson describes her brand, AGR, as brave. No doubt that has to do with her ability to stand out boldly in a category often considered stodgy. The play with neon and color-blocking is unlike much o what you might expect from other knitwear designers. But I believe that bravery goes beyond the clothing you…
