    August 2014 Beauty Favorites

    Eek! Can’t believe it’s that time of the month again! No, not that one, the other one – the time for favorites! *cue confetti shower*

    Today marks my 32nd week of pregnancy (only 6-8 weeks to go!) and I seriously can’t wait, not just to meet my bub, but to get rid of all this nausea, backpain, dizzy spells and whatever else comes with pregnancy!

    Anyway, this past month was honestly the most horrible month I’ve had (pregnancy-related, of course) so I stayed home 90% of the time this month, which could only mean one thing – I rarely get to wear makeup. Boohoo! Every time I go out I’ve only been wearing the exact same makeup items (too lazy to choose!) but it’s fun how I get to experiment with more skin care products.

    So, here it goes…

    Eve Lom Cleanser Review: Mineral Oils? Parabens? Eucalyptus? Are they safe?

    This is probably a product that has been argued-over the most on the Internet, I kid you not. People either love it, or hate it. Rarely do I see someone who’s on the fence about this.

    It certainly has a cult following, being the original and the best-selling cleansing balm on the market, but it has received as much hate as it has been loved because of, amongst other things, mineral oil. Issues like price, parabens and eucalyptus oil really set the fume on some people, but most would argue about the mineral oil in this product being the no. 1 ingredient.

    I honestly don’t understand all the hate. I mean, yeah it does smell weird – it has eucalyptus in it, but in all fairness it’s going to be washed off anyway. With regards to mineral oil, I’ll discuss it soon.

    So far, my skin has never been better and I’ve only been using this for the past two months. My mom and grandma also swear by this cleanser – they’ve been using it for years. I mean, there’s a reason why this product has been the no. 1 selling product in Space NK for the past 15 years, right?
