should I buy more skincare or beauty products? which one should I choose?

Today I am going to discuss my opinion on whether one should invest in more skincare products or makeup. This is all my own opinion which you might not agree to. I would love to share some of my thoughts on this topic since the skincare game is going much stronger than makeup these days in the beauty community.

my current skincare routine

Today is my 20th birthday yay! but unfortunately I am not feeling well. I thought what could be a better way to have a chillax day than blogging and watching some YouTube videos since I am not going to uni today. I am going to share my most current skincare routine with you and obviously I love all the products I have mentioned so I won’t be going into too much detail justifying why I like them one by one. I will be sharing what I do first to last in my skincare routine. This will be helpful for all girls and boys out there, especially oily/combination skin and blemish skin. If you have drier skin or so, you can simply replace the products with your own desired ones.

This will be a quick little read for those who do not enjoy long chit chats, I wanted to make sure this post is short and sweet. Nothing on my blog is sponsored or I get paid in any sort of opinions so you can for sure trust me.

and it begins … â™¡

and it begins … â™¡

My name is Charlene, 19 years old, living in Sydney Australia and I have been blogging for a long time on WordPress. A few years ago I decided to stop my blogging journey because I did not feel inspired by the things I was passionate about + I was going through changes from high school to university.

So why did I decide to create a brand new blog and ditching the one I still have – Basic Spirit Blog . because I felt like I have changed my style and how I really wanted to approach to my audience; therefore it would be beneficial for me to start from the scratch.

As a 19 years old girl living in a major city, I have noticed how skincare has really changed my outlook in life and how the products make me feel way more confident. Through this platform, I mainly want to introduce you to my swear-by products for mostly combination/oily skin friends and featuring Australia local brands as I have always loved supporting small businesses.

So what can you expect from this blog? I would give you the best insight to my skincare routine and update you all on new products that I have been trying, whether they really work or not. I will also find deal and cheaper alternatives for luxury skincare brands to cater for those who just want to try the formula out but do not wish to pay a massive amount of money on it yet.

Stay tune to this page and I hope we can get connected real soon!

Thank you!

Charlene ♡
