I bought the Madrid’s in the white and I love them.

Which is just a reminder to me of how ridiculously reactionary the TSA is (:.adjusts tin foil hat.:). If they are actually worried about car/fentanyl (which is my understanding of the regulation on powder amounts), you need negligible amounts to get high, overdose, what-have-you. 12 oz of car/fentanyl will kill an Read more

I order Biore Sarasara UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++ 50g through Amazon (shipped from Japan.) It makes a beautiful make-up primer, doesn’t break out my skin, and is somewhere between $7 and $10 per bottle. It takes about a month to arrive, which is the only downside.

Sunscreen is a year-round must in your beauty reg. I used to love Clarins, but they changed up the formula and the scent is weird. I need to find something new but just as light.  Read more
