Take care of your brows

Big bold brows are the new trend! If you have naturally full brows like me then you're good to go with some basic trimming and filling, others may need to fill a bit more.

New skincare products

My skin tends to go a bit crazy in the winter, so I decided to try out some new products. I'd been meaning to get the Clarins stuff for a while and just never got around to it and the others were just on a whim purchases.
