Six of my favourite beauty discoveries this year

Okay, I’m not a beauty blogger. I am, however, a person who uses beauty products, and sometimes I want to share my appreciation or thoughts on them.

Here are the contents of my (cruelty free) make up bag for a two week holiday

I must confess: this is more for my own benefit than anyone else’s.
