I hope you enjoyed Part One. Let’s get cracking with Part Two…
They See Me Haulin’…Part One
I’ve recently bought a couple (ahem…a lot) of new products and I wanted to do a little show and tell for you. Four of the most expensive products were actually bought for me by my boyfriend (so you can relax, Mom), but I wanted to include them in this post because they are life-changingly amazing. I’ve had to split this post into two parts because of the volume of products, so here we go with Part One…
Mask Must-Have: Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque
My friend Sergio hooked me up big time by managing to convince the lovely people at Loading Bay to sell me one of their famous Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque’s before the official launch date (which I think is still set for June 2014).

January Favourites: Jules
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer I bought this concealer when I was in the UK at the end of last year because I liked the Wake Me Up Foundation so much, and broke it out over the holidays when I felt it was too hot to layer corrector and concealer under my eyes. I also seem to be able to get away with less concealer when my face is tanned because my under-eye circles don’t appear as dark. I started using this on its own and not only is the formula creamy and easy to blend, but it feels really…
Desk-Side Beauty Essentials
Now that summer is officially here, it means that so is the office air conditioning. I don’t know about you, but my office subscribes to the more is more philosophy when it comes to air conditioning, so I feel perpetually parched and also, quite cold. Luckily I have a few bits and pieces on my desk which help keep the dryness at bay: Eucerin Aquaphor Jules introduced me to this and I’ve never looked back. Fantastic for dry lips and any other areas that need a shot of moisture, this ointment soothes irritation and hydrates dry patches in a flash.…
