I’ve been conducting some retinol tests lately & have wanted to share some results. The problem with retinols is that you really need to give them around six weeks to get to work, meaning esting more than one could go on forever. I’ve decided to use one brand for around 3-4 weeks, take a couple…
Urban Decay released an exciting and much anticipated palette – aren’t all their releases exciting and much anticipated? I digress. This Urban Decay release was particularly special because GAME OF MOTHERF***ING THRONES, baby!
