Let's consider these "flash reviews," and get down to the actual important question, which is would I repurchase or add to my collection again?

The 5 Products That Will Be On My Spring Top Shelf

It's time to put some of my winter go-to's into hibernation, and bring to the top some of the products that I already know I'll be reaching for over and over (and already am, honestly).

Favorite Products at the Drugstore

Sure, there are some luxury products that I'm obsessed with, but when you find a $7 product that works just as well? Now that's love. I could list amazing drugstore products for days, but these are some of my favorites.

Sephora Sale Wishlisting

If you took one glance through my IG, you could confidently determine that I don't have any business purchasing more beauty products. But is now really the time to rationalize when the Sephora Rouge 20% off sale is upon us?!

The Top 3: Facial Cleansers

As much as it pains me, I had spent many years thinking that a tight, dry face after cleansing signaled that my skin was "clean." I look back on those dark ages wishing I could slap that tortured face right into a vat full of moisturizer, but luckily those days are far gone.
