I don't know about you, but I love finding new and “unpopular” brands. Please tell me your favorites in the comments!!
One of mine is @superfluid___ , which Instagram suggested to me through an ad. They're so cool, from the beautiful packaging, great formulas, vegan and cruelty free nonetheless, and they seem to be very inclusive (and I believe they're Italian too!?) So on a whim I purchased on shade each of what at the time was their whole selection, and I was really happy with the products I got (minus the white liner, but to be fair I never met one I liked). I think it's time I get their new stuff as well, I got my eye on a few bits already.

So I really haven't been active on here in more than 4 months, huh?! One day I started having anxiety about posting on here and I just had to stop. But has that stopped me from buying makeup? Nope! Peek some new(ish) items in my collection, although I have quite a bit more by now

Welcome to my face lol. This year my PCOS decided to gift me these beautiful scars (as apparently it hasn't done enough already). Not gonna lie, it was painful, but I've learned how to take care of my skin more than ever before. I learned so much about skincare, about ingredients, the effects they have, what to mix and not to mix. About confidence and self love.
And now I rock a bare face more than I ever did before.

On my face is the amazing @renskincare Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask which was one of my biggest source of relief when those red dots where all very painful active breakouts.
And it still gets a lot of love to this day.

I've been sitting on pictures of this picture for almost a year, I love how the look came about but I couldn't figure out how to edit them in a way that I liked. That is until I got the @cherryphotoclub presets by @ashlevi, these are the only presets I've ever bought that work for me, I'm obsessed 🤩

I only know that the eyeshadow is @sugarpill Mochi and the liner is @nyxcosmetics Vivid Brights Creme Color in Bad Blood, all the other details I've lost somewhere 😩

Preset is Daze from the Laurel Canyon pack

I decided to start waking up at 6am to workout. I only started yesterday and I am exhausted 😂
Meanwhile I found a use for this Garnier gel moisturizer that I don’t remember ever buying (it’s transparent, the green is from the backdrop)
