An honest experience with the Mario Badescu Facial Mists

So here’s the tea. Last summer I purchased these sprays for the first time and immediately loved them. I thought they were fresh, nicely-scented and something different and feminine to carry around in my makeup bag. I was using them all the time, but started to notice my skin was getting gradually worse.. My pores […]

What I like to do on my days off

I work a busy bar job, and often I feel like my life is spent rushing around in the organised chaos of hospitality. That aside, when I have a day off, I like to use it wisely and I’m not the type of person who likes to just sit at home doing nothing (on the […]
