The end of the decade is almost here, so it's time to recap some of the best beauty buys. Despite what you may think, it doesn't have to be expensive to give your beauty obsessed friend or family member a great gift. No matter their personality, a gift on this list will be for them. Ranging from hair care to laundry care, these gifts are sure to impress.

So while I was going through my daily scroll through Amazon this morning, I couldn't help but notice how many makeup removal products there are and how they are all targeted towards only makeup brushes. There were also only gel products meant for your face. I felt like makeup sponges were being heavily neglected, which is not great because sponges are the most likely home for gross bacteria compared to other makeup tools that are left unclean.

After writing my post about cleaning makeup sponges I learned just how important it is for proper storage as well. Not only does proper storage lengthen the life of your sponge and require you to buy replacements less, but it also saves you time by not needing to clean them as often! Besides, leaving our porous makeup tools out and about to be on their own probably isn't the most hygienic thing to do. In this post, I'll provide some tips for proper storage as well as some cute/handy products to add to your beauty shelf to help with storage!

So, after figuring it was about time for a "treat yourself" day, I found an offer to try the Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner... Well, it wasn't hard to find after they had over ALL of the ads on my Instagram videos of girls who "genuinely tried this new shampoo, and could genuinely not recommend it enough because it was genuinely so great." (Safe to say it seemed like a genuine review—not.)

I’ve used those colourful bath bombs before…

A few weeks ago, my fiancé had surprised me with a massage table.

Luxury is something that every single human being wants and loves. The annoying bit is that not everybody has affordable access to it. However, Swiss Clinic has made it possible to have luxury skincare treatments at home within a reasonable price range. I've been trying out their products for a while now, and I can honestly say that they are worth every penny.

Disclaimer: No eyeshadow is worth that price tag. Period. Whether you can afford it or not? Well I do not know your wallet. When it comes to Pat Mcgrath, Natasha Denona, and other luxury brands you are:

With September coming to a serious standstill ahead of us (not every place has pumpkin spiced everything and not every Dollar Store has their 1 million and 1 Halloween decorations up, so it is infact, a standstill), I conclude that the majority of my August faves are coming to an end. They basically left with August and for good reason. Here are my "empties" (product goodies that seem to be wearing T H I N):

1. Everything and Anything Olaplex

FACE (a.k.a. the hostest with the mostest).

Toners are my be all, end all in my skin care routine. In other words, I cannot do without toners. Out of everything, toners are of the most importance to me. My preference does run to toners that leave my skin with that tingling feeling, and my cotton pad with the lingering residue. Now I am not an ingredient junkie, let alone a chemist, so I cannot call this an educational review by any means. It is more of an experience based review. I have finished or used up these toners in the last twelve-sixteen months.
