Milk Makeup Blur Liquid Matte Foundation Review and Wear Test of a Silicone FREE Foundation
As you may or may not know, finding a liquid foundation that doesn’t have silicone in it is quite a feat.

Acne patterns and how to prevent them
Honestly… I’m a scientist at heart and I don’t believe that acne on one part of your face can tell you things about your liver, kidneys, other bodily organs…. Exhibit A!

MURAD MattEffect Blotting Perfector: Review of a silicone free primer
