How to Properly Store Makeup Sponges
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!

Function of Failed
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.)

Swiss Clinic: Luxury Skincare at Home
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.

Beauty Product Roundup!
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):

10 Beauty Game Changers
1. Everything and Anything Olaplex I've tried everything available to get my thin hair looking super glossy and extra full. The real trick here is to get your hair SUPER HEALTHY. I achieved this after about one month of washing and styling with Olaplex products. They have a seven-step system, of which only steps three to seven are available in stores (Sephora/Ulta Beauty). Whatever their miracle bond-forming formula is, it works. Not only has it actually made my hair stronger, but the texture has become silky-smooth, with visibly less damage. I recommend this for anyone with processed hair, and for frequent tool users.

Broke B Beauty
FACE (a.k.a. the hostest with the mostest). Makeup Remover| Klorane This facial makeup remover was recommended to be by my own mother whilst I was in a psych ward (ha... ha... follow my profile on here for updates on that, coming soon). It came to me in a time of NEED; metaphorical and physical: It was nice to be gifted a care package with something as awesome as THIS in it; and also—my skin desperately NEEDED it. I hadn’t put the work in on my face for the entire time I was there up until this part—I figured: If I FEEL crazy, I may as well let my skin grey away at the mere age of 25 and LOOK crazy as well.

Five Classic Makeup Palettes That Everyone Should Own
We all love impulse buying makeup, especially when it has a cult following, intense marketing, and incredibly enticing packaging. However, sometimes it can be better to withhold your money for those amazing products that you can really get your use out of. For this list, I will be including eyeshadow, blush, contour and highlight palettes I believe contain the best and most useable everyday shades.

Younique Day Moisturizer Review
I had a ton of reservations about Younique products for a very long time, even when my sister started selling makeup as a presenter. I never really felt like I could trust those companies because they all seemed too good to be true, and I wasn't confident in the products enough to buy them for myself. The company is focused more on makeup, and I never really was interested in spending a ton of money on products I didn't know how to use. But when Younique launched their You-ology line, I started getting more interested in their products because they were focused on skin care rather than makeup. My sister started letting me try her personal skin care products from the company's new line, and I ended up buying a few different items of my own. I have to say, the personalized day moisturizer is AMAZING.
