The girlies say @instagram Edits is where it’s at so I’m trying it out.
To be honest, I almost chickened out and I came across this audio. And I said you know what? It’s a just do it kinda year and I kinda need to test out these new tools!
It’s a dump! Choose one word for your January.
Dump directory:
1. Birthday dinner. 🎉💖
2. A birthday girl 😍
3. Current mood. Took me a while because man, that Q3 to most of Q4 transition was HECTIC.
4. When I tell you we were all up in that artichoke dip. @lebenamskin good call on that one.
5. Me? I’m typically a Vanilla girlie but boy have I been pumping away! @cyklarofficial 💚
6. Went to support my brother and mentor @jayanaman and left with gem after gem.
7. Back in my honey braids era! 🤎 (and my IG era. Amen, somebody?? 🎊)
8. The way this layering slapped!!! Legend has it, that that outfit has not been laundered and the fragrance remains till date.
9. A very blessed girl (necklace and cross bracelet from @begloryco )
10. The point is that, I can continue to celebrate the birthday in February so what’s up? 😆🤭
Okay let’s take it from the🔝
1. I know I’m late to the party but review of prequel cleansers is on the way. 🙇🏾♀️
2. The Byroe mist is a pretty juice and quite refreshing but the sprayer is not my favorite. It is hard to explain but I’ve had a better experience with misting products/packaging.
3. I’ve experienced this pair before, they’ve always been good to my skin especially when paired with a good exfoliating cleanser every now and then. It lends a very nice hydrating base. Nothing should stop them from making a serum that has both ingredients instead of having two different steps in the routine. @theinkeylist , please?
4. A hidden gem for real. It’s light enough for oily skin to enjoy and a nice layering moisturizer for dry skin. Me personally, my skin loves it.
5. Now the concept of a retinol oil makes Soo much sense to me. People are typically advices to use their retinol serums after moisturizing or to apply the sandwich method. But an oil means that you would actually have to use it after moisturizing. So the unpleasant effect of retinol serums is mitigated without the user stressing Soo much about how to use for best results and minimal side effects.
6. First time I tried the mojito lip mask, I liked that it was minty but that was it. I wasn’t blown away. Wasn’t soooo hydrating, gave me just a little sheen. I thought it was unremarkable. My friend tried it too- same reaction. Few weeks down the line, and it feels better with use: mintier, more hydrating and it actually, clearly gives a bit more shine. Guess it needed some warm up.
If you made it this far, I love you and I’m curious!!! Drop in the comments, a fave/familiar product(s) and what you’re most curious about from this routine or just drop me a heart 💖

Almost forgot how good…
that HA + Niacinamide combination slaps.
Also, I have always walked past these bodycology mists but the price point for what they are and the variety is making sense. Have you tried???

If you’ve ever wondered about @facetheory , do it.
Current concerns are dehydration and some really dark spots from picking at my face and to target that, I’m using the Regena C20 (20% vit. C plus amino acids) in the mornings and the Porebright N10 (10% Niacinamide and Azaleic acid) at night.
Been using them for about a month now and im sold. For someone soo indifferent about Vit. C, I get it. Still not a big fan but I do get it 😆
Final look at the end…
I’ve been coming to this one quite often. I have on exactly 3 and a half strokes of the D40 in the narrator clips, so I like how skin-like it can be and also how not messy it is to use a stick.
Also, Did you catch the pun? 😝
