Cleansing balm

Why anyone would ever continue to use any other method of makeup removal after the invention of cleansing balm is beyond me like if you’re still wasting cotton rounds on makeup removal STAND UP!! Get yourself a cleansing balm bitch my favorite is the good molecules one. And if you’re still using makeup wipes I want to hold your face and hug you close and tell you it’s ok you don’t have to do this anymore.

Simple, easy, and cheap skincare

Makeup remover - byoma melting balm cleanser - cerave hydrating cleanser Moisturiser - Nivea creme lazy day - bioderma sensibio H2O I used to be a full skincare girly, and then my skin got really bad and I read a lot about the skincare industry and how insidious and awful it is. Now I essentially just use 4 things. A cleanser, I use cerave hydrating cleanser. And a moisturiser, in my opinion the more simple the better. My favourite is the embryolisse lait creme, but it’s a lil spenny so I mostly use Nivea soft, which I find to be really similar and costs like £2. the third thing is an oil based cleansing balm for makeup removal. atm I use Bioma, which is the affordable replacement for the very expensive Clinique cleansing balm. I also use an spf (but controversially only when it’s sunny as I live in the U.K. and we have a much bigger vitamin d deficiency problem than we do a skin damage one). Unfortunately I’ve never found a face suncream that isn’t expensive, so atm I use laroche possay, but it lasts me ages cause there isn’t much sun here. for ease and laziness I also use bioderma micellar water for days when Im too tired to wash my face or I’m taking off makeup on the go. I have mostly dry/combo and a little sensitive skin, but this routine will work for any skin type (might need a lighter moisturiser if oily). In the U.K. to but this entire routine with full size bottles would cost around £37, and my skin is infinitely better than it was when I was using elaborate and expensive skin care routines!

bioderma micellar water

dunno if it counts but i use it probably the most in my skincare (my routine sucks though) as a quick cleanse/refresh as well as a makeup remover !! would actually die without her… thanks to my uncles gf for introducing it to me when i was experimenting with makeup in my teen years…

nyc restaurant + thrifting reccs for first timers

Not a native New Yorker but have lived here since 2011. I’m an actor + antique lover. Here are my top reccs for newcomers (restaurants + thrifting only) lmk if you want more! 🍔Restaurants with unique atmosphere + great food: 1. Freeman’s Alley - lower east side. Unmatched vibes. hidden at the end of an alley. Amazing roasted Brussels sprouts. great cocktails and wine selection. Dark and moody and cozy. 2. Tea & Sympathy - west village authentic spot for British high tea and pub fare. as tiny as a matchbox. Ridiculously charming. The staff are lovely. There’s a british import store next door. 3. Buvette - west village worth the hype. Incredible spot for brunch (or anytime meal). Unbelievably cute. 4. Lucali - Carroll gardens, Brooklyn possibly the best pizza in the city. Beyonce and Taylor swift apparently love it too if that helps sway you at all. No reservations, you need to line up by 4p to get a table. Otherwise order a pie to go for $40 and walk around the historic neighborhood eating your pizza and admiring the brownstones. 5. Sake Bar Decibel - east 9th street Hip underground sake joint with amazing food. Often crowded but the service is very quick. 👗For thrifting clothes: Manhattan: 1. Beacon’s Closet on 13th street (near the new school) 2.Housing Works on West 10th 3.Housing Works on 74th 4.Cobblestones on E 9th 5.East Village Vintage collection on east 12th 6. Crossroads Trading on 2nd ave Brooklyn 1. Beacon’s Closet on Guernsey (it’s MASSIVE) 2. Awoke vintage 3. Monk Vintage 4. Buffalo Exchange on Driggs 5. Unearth Vintage on Smith street 6. Life Boutique thrift on 5th ave 7. The attic brooklyn
