LOVE the body shop peppermint foot lotion. That stuff is legit soothing on sore feet. Put it on before bed and feet feel so nice in the morning. I typically go for other indie lotions but bs keeps me coming back for that foot lotion. Nothing else comes close. Read more

Their olive oil soap bar is the most amazing thing I’ve ever rubbed onto my body. Makes my dingy cramped shower feel like a glorious spa every time I use it. Read more

So I love the NARS pencil colors / pigmentation / that they’re long-lasting, etc., but they make my lips super dry. After an evening, my lips are dry, flaky, and completely chapped. Is it me? Is there some secret I don’t know about? Read more

Just discovered Beauty Bakerie’s Lip Whips due to a comment on a different article. I don’t usually go for the long wearing stuff but this stuff is amazing and truly does not come off. The red, Mon Cheri, is life. Read more

The NARS lip crayon is my jam! Absolutely love the color and the staying power as well - I can apply in the morning and it lasts all day. My absolute fave by far. Read more

I’m a MAC person, but I personally don’t wear Ruby Woo, I wear Russian Red - in the winter. In the summer I wear All Fired Up and Relentlessly Red. Relentlessly Red is more low-maintenance, I don’t need a lip liner for that one so I wear it as my everyday work lipstick.
