Liz’s Lineup: Evening Skincare

My evening skincare routine

A few months ago I wrote my first “Liz’s Lineup” post which detailed my everyday makeup routine. I received a lot of great feedback (which surprised me) so I decided to attempt it again, this time with my nightly skincare routine. A few years ago I started reading all about Korean beauty and natural skincare. Since then, the obsession… Read More

Shampoo Shakedown

A selection of dry shampoo favorites

Safer Sunblock

Mineral sunscreens for a safe summer

Lately, I have been switching over to an all mineral sunscreen routine. The more I read, the more I feel that chemical sunblocks are not as safe as their mineral counterparts.
