Review: Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

Great colour, matte, but doesn't stay.

I went roaming around Shoppers Drugmart like I often do and stumbled upon these Revlon Matte Balms. I'm a sucker for easy makeup and anything long-lasting... I know, a hard combo: good & cheap! I don't necessarily want to invest in products that I'm not going to use 24/7 so buying expensive makeup like MAC isn't for me. However I like finding long-lasting products since I'm also not the type to re-apply during the day. I did a bunch of swatches with some colours I just loved! Darker colours like browns and deep reds work well for me. Looks nice with my complexion and also makes my medium lips look a lot fuller. I was excited with my swatches but I always do my

smudge test: after applying, wait a minute or so (give the makeup a chance to set) and attempt to wipe off the makeup.

Unfortunately they didn't survive, so these balms didn't get my vote :(

Too bad since they were really nice colours and felt über creamy. For now, I'll stick with my trusty Maybelline Super Stay 24 Colour as my go-to!

Fix your Instagram Caption Spacing

**This post is the UPDATED version of my previously popular post on " How to Create a Line Break in your Instagram Caption " which sadly doesn't apply anymore :(** ... As you know things update all the time so you have to switch up your method.

Multiple Accounts in Instagram

I found a miraculous way to manage both of my Instagram accounts in the Instagram app itself! No more having to download an app to ensure I can use these 2 accounts of mine. I hated having to sign out of Instagram in one account, sign into the other and constantly going back and forth. So here is the solution: To add other accounts into your Instagram: Open Instagram > Options > Add Account > Sign into other account > Account Added To switch between multiple accounts in Instagram: In Instagram, Tap on account name at the top > Select desired account Visual below: Step 1: Add Account Step 2: Switch Account So easy and I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon it! I'm hoping this will help other business owners who manage multiple accounts such as their personal and business. This will help me post on Instagram more frequently. Now only if Instagram would allow scheduling of future posts... (If you haven't seen my post on How to Create a...

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)
