Baylie’s 18th Birthday Weekend

Back in July I visited my younger brother Baylie for the last time before moving across the country.

I have only very recently gotten into makeup, and one of the biggest challenges for me has been finding decent eyeshadows, and applying them without looking like a crazy clown freak. I am still learning, and my most recently shadow purchase has been from an independent cosmetics company called Concrete Minerals, which has been aroundContinue reading “Review: Concrete Minerals (+ Swatches!)”
