The DIY Root Touch Up Kit You Need Right Now

DPHue Root Touch Up Kit Review

The only thing worse than my nail roots were my grey hairs all over my scalp. For some backstory, I have had grey hair since around my 12th birthday.

The Only Toner You Need For Fall

LANEIGE Essential Power Skin Toner for Normal to Dry Skin

It’s been a long time since a toner got me excited, so I had to share this one with you. As I’ve mentioned before, my skin tends to get temperamental when the seasons change.
