E39 from Blank Canvas Cosmetics

This week in my brush appreciation feature I’m discussing the E39 from Blank Canvas Cosmetics.  Applying gel liner can be a daunting task for even the most seasoned professional.  Some days can be perfect and some can be a disaster.  I’m a firm believer that gel liner can sense fear!  The task is made a […]

Detox Teas

I drink green tea all day and as I don’t drink coffee or regular tea, green tea is my hot drink of choice. In the last few months, however, I have decided to try some detox / weight loss teas. Years ago I got caught up in the hype of pu-erh tea when it wasn’t […]
