L’oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

L’oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

In full disclosure, it’s been a while since I’ve tried a drug store foundation. Actually, it’s been over a year since I stepped foot into a convenience store to pick up makeup period! It’s not because I don’t like drugstore makeup but has a lot to do with me cutting back on how much I spent on makeup though somehow I still managed to make VIB Rouge.

Hair regimens are important. Especially if you have natural hair. Once of the biggest pitfalls of having natural hair is overcoming that inner product junkie.

Your Life Doesn’t Have to Stop Because of LBL.

Your Life Doesn’t Have to Stop Because of LBL.

The one thing you can count on as a new mom is a lot of first and a lot of unsolicited advice. Though I’m not a mom yet I have several friends who have had kids and after having a sit down with them to discuss what to expect after pregnancy, I think I heard enough stories to feel like I’d gone through the whole birthing process myself. Amongst all the stories and advice one thing that they explained to me that was often left out is the embarrassing things that can happen to your body once you’ve had a…
