My Top 5 Mid- To High-End Foundations
Hey beauties I posted a poll on my Instastories yesterday asking if you guys thought that the brands highlighted in today’s post are mid-end or high-end. Most of you said high-end and I suppose it’s because of the price tag. I, however, think these fall in the mid-range category. When I think high-end I think of brands such as Dior, Armani, Natasha Danone, Pat McGrath, YSL, Tom Ford etc. I’m starting a top 5 series on my blog where I’ll be sharing some products I’ve been loving, why they’ve worked for me or why I find myself reaching for them more often or over others in my collection.

Beginners Guide To Skincare – Vitamin B3 {Niacinamide}
I’ve covered Vitamin A in last weeks post over HERE, and today I’m sharing my thoughts and experience on Vitamin B also known as Niacinamide. If you’re serious about skincare then this is a must-read as this ingredient has many people talking. What is Niacinamide? Niacinimide is a form of Vitamin B3, an ingredient that many dermatologists swear by as it has shown to work. It’s a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it won’t dissolve in oil and for this reason easily absorbed by the outer layer of the skin. This ingredient is typically found in water-based serums, moisturisers and masks. It’s also non-acidic so great for all skin types. …
