EauMG’s Mother’s Day 2018 Gift Ideas

May 8, 2018

Mother's Day Gift Guide

You guys, I’ve been meaning to post this for two weeks now and have been busy. Most of the time, I hate putting together a Mother’s Day gift guide (for many reasons).¹ The main reason being: How absurd is it to make a gift guide for such a huge demographic? I hate Mother’s Day gift guides (usually) because they make women look so uniform and well, boring. Most Mother’s Day gift guides are pitiful and borderline offensive. But, anyway.

Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil Review

June 23, 2013

Hourglass Lip Treatment

Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil is a blend of 14 essential oils, 10 plant oils and 4 vitamins. As a person that wears dramatic lip colors, I’m always in the market for a lip treatment and a good lip balm. If you wear bright, dark or light colors, you’ve got to have smooth lips.

Hourglass Cosmetics No. 28 Primer Serum Review

January 13, 2013

Hourglass No.28 Primer Serum

The claims: The goal of Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum is to moisturize skin as it “prepares” skin for makeup. It contains 14 essential oils (such as rose geranium, lavender, rosemary), 10 lipid-rich plant oils (such as evening primrose, jojoba, olive oil) and 4 vitamins (A, B5, C and E). Here’s a complete list of ingredients.

Reminder of my skin type: I have dry skin with invisible pores. I want a product to prolong the wear of foundation without making my skin feel like… Continue reading | 1 Comment
