Current Favorites

I choose my current favorites whenever and however I like.


Essence The Nail Care Oil (or any nail oil...)

I can definitely see a difference on my nails. I never used any oils on them before. But I think with the long winters and doing manual labor with my hands really takes a toll on nails. And using just a hand moisturizer is nowhere enough. I recommend trying warm oil treatments as well! I bought a cheap canola oil for that. You can find tutorials on youtube how to do it.



Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

An old favorite that I rediscovered! I still have old limited edition packages to finish! From the birthstone edition. They are very pretty. I bought my first No Sebum Powder in 2017 and just finished it. 

The powder is very fine and never seems to look cakey, even if you reapply on a sweaty skin. Leaves skin silky smooth. With a brush you can get ever so slightly mattifying and smoothing veil, but with the puff the finish is matte and lasts almost all day, if not sweating. How could I forget to use No Sebum Powder despite having so many jars in my stash! Perfect powder for summer.


Got2be 4 brows and edges Brow Gel Mascara

Very strong hold even on my difficult brows (they grow downwards so they just always revert to that). Easier to use than the original hair gel. So happy I bought this one, it's so much quicker to apply since I don't need a separate brush and the formula is different from the og hair gel which can leave white marks or clump if not careful.
