    Beauty Hack: Use Concealer on Your Eyelids as Primer

    I’m never buying eyeshadow primer again!

It gave me a gorgeous glow and I was darker than I am now, as I was living in Miami and was two shades darker all-year-round! I have…

    Getting Out of My Beauty Rut

I’ve been spending too much time on Instagram, comparing myself to others, and not enough time on myself (which really isn’t like me at…
