A Serum Under Ten Bucks? You’d Better Believe It Exists

When it comes to skincare, probably the most expensive item in one’s skincare routine is the serum. It’s the one that packs the most punch, has the best and most concentrated ingredients and targets areas on our skin much better than regular moisturisers will.

So when I discovered a serum that does a pretty good job and, wait for it, it’s less than 10 DOLLARS … talk about mind blown. Okay, maybe not so much mind blown because it does have its ups and downs but seriously, a pretty decent serum for under a tenner? It’s almost sounds ridiculous, I tell ya.

Quickie Mention: Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Pink Shock

Happy weekend fellow beautyholics!

Now I know that in many parts of the world, it’s autumn to almost winter but Down Under, we’re heading towards summer so don’t be surprised to see me talking about bright summery colours while you’re enjoying your warm knits and shades of burgundy. 😛

Me, I love insanely bright nails for summer and while I’m the boring sort who probably won’t wear fluoroscent nails, I do like me a bright candy pink. And that’s what Maybelline’s Color Show in Pink Shock is.

My Naughty Makeup Treat For A Quick Retail Therapy

Go on, ‘fess up. How many of you love a bit of retail therapy?

*hand shoots right up*

I had my first taste of what retail therapy was when I was still in secondary/high school. It wasn’t actually me who was doing the shopping, it was my mum. She was particularly stressed out that day and when we went out for a spot of shopping, I noticed her buying more expensive items than she usually would. When the day was over and time to go through her shopping, she actually looked happier. That was when she told me this.

Girl, what you witnessed just now was retail therapy.

Ah yes, I learned ’em young. 😉

For someone who’s obsessed with blush, you’d think that I would be buying loads of blushes whenever I’m stressed out or am in need of quick retail therapy. Surprising fact: I actually take a long time deciding on getting a blush or not and whenever possible, they’re usually not spur-of-the-moment purchases.

For a lot of women, it’s lipsticks. For me though, it’s lip balms.
