Ready, Set, Prime
Rain, hail and wind are, unfortunately, on the horizon and with all the money I spend on makeup, I would rather my foundation wasn’t blown off my face by the elements. Investing in a good primer will not only help the application of base products but prolong its wear-time too.

On The Scent
For the self-proclaimed perfume cognoscenti
There is no better feeling than receiving a compliment for your scent alone and let me tell you, these two perfumes are lust-worthy. My advice when buying a new perfume – no matter the cost - is to request samples to take home and see how it wears on your skin for a few days. How a perfume lasts on the skin vs a card in the shop is obviously very different.
