This past weekend I took a little trip to TJMAXX for home decor purposes, and I ended up in the beauty isle (no surprise there). There I found this skincare brand, Pearlessence, which looked awfully similar to the high-end skincare brand Herbivore Botanicals (found at Sephora). The only noticible difference between the two brands were the prices, but aesthetically speaking, they shared similar packaging.

Anyway, I picked up three out of the eight, I believe, products that they have for about $15: their Micellar Cleansing Water with Cactus Water, Cucumber Water Hydrating Face Mist, and Rosehip Balancing Facial Oil. I could be wrong on how many products they have so don't quote me on that. I figured I would do a first impressions post on the products I have and update it later with a one brand review.

Everyday Summer Look




Finding my everyday summer routine was more challenging than I had thought. Trying to make sure that the makeup products I used complimented my new skincare routine was the main focus. I wanted something lightweight but pretty full coverage since I still deal with acne scars. I wanted something dewy and hydrating, but not something that was going to make my oily T-zone look like a disco ball. And lastly, I wanted something that I could achieve rather quickly, using just a handful of products and keeping it pretty minimal.
