I do a little bit of everything: I write reviews on products, discuss my experiences with cosmetic brands and companies, and create swatch posts to show how a product looks once applied. I also do 'makeup inspiration' posts called "Look of the Day" (LOTD) and "Eye of The Day" (EOTD), which is where I share the make up I wear on an everyday basis, ranging from natural to dramatic looks.
