I go through phases where I love colour on my cheeks and times I absolutely hate it. Lately, I’m loving it! With the weather changing, I’m using darker plum tones that still give a bit of pop. Here are some of my favourites that work on darker complexions. The Dior blushes might be limited edition, …
As I’ve mentioned in a few post, my eyes react to anything with carmine. I didn’t realise that carmine was the ingredient causing my reactions until earlier this year, long after picking up the Melt Cosmetics Muerte palette for my birthday last year.
