    I still so want the Lumi foundation but I’ve put myself on a spending ban because I’m traveling next month so it will have to wait sadly! How do you like Better Than Sex mascara? I have a mini tube but I haven’t opened it yet. xo

    • BTS is honestly the best mascara that I’ve ever tried so far. I cringe spending $25 on mascara when all the drugstores ones are good, so it’s perfect to ask for as a present for a special occasion! I’ll let you know if I find a drugstore alternative that offers the same volume and thickness, but so far the best one has been the L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara! Let me know how you like it! xoxo

  3. Love Love Love!!! I want that Too Faced Limited Edition Palette 🙁
