It Cosmetics Fall 2017 New Products

[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] Last week Christmas in August happened over at the Being Melody offices when It Cosmetics dropped off their Fall 2017 launches. It Cosmetics has some pretty amazing products, especially in the skincare and makeup brush area. When it comes to the makeup, it can be hit or miss only because most of the shades don’t fit women of color.

The Best Inexpensive Face Cream

This post is sponsored by Olay, but all opinions are my own. Can you look like a million bucks, and not spend all your money doing it? This would be considered a #QTNA. When I was younger, I thought that the only way to look good was to have nice things like clothes, shoes, or a fly hairdo. Skincare was something I wasn’t concerned about, as long as I didn’t have crazy breakouts I was all good ya’ know. Oh and washing my face every night, that definitely didn’t happen. I figured when it came to skincare I had time.…
