It’s SO satisfying to get all of the lil peach fuzzies off my face.
When I get round to it (each few months as much as yearly):
Facial with charcoal cleanse and turmeric therapy. I lately bought a facial after it had been over a 12 months, and determined I might make it part of my quarterly routine.

After BBL (ignore my eyebrows lol)

Tarte eyeshadow (superb deal on these proper now! These are probably the most reecent palettes I’ve purchased and I LOVE them.) Tarte makes the most effective eyeshadows I’ve discovered for my delicate eyes. SO many palettes make my eyes itch, and this is among the few manufacturers that doesn’t.
