You know, I was going to clean up this photo some; stage it to look aesthetically pleasing, but I changed my mind. It's not perfect but everything in this photo, just like this candle makes me pretty happy.

Whew! I never thought I would see the day when The Ordinary was sold at Nordstrom! I have loads of reviews of The Ordinary's products on this site and Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores for beauty. The best of both worlds! There are ten products currently available:

I initially thought the Becca Ultimate Coverage Longwear Concealer was a replacement for one of my favorite concealers, the brand's Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme. While a lot of retail stores have discontinued that product, it is still on Becca's website. So hopefully they will keep it on. This product is also great, especially for covering scars! Read on for a pictorial and my thoughts on this concealer. I have two shades: Nutmeg, the lighter shade, and Mahogany.
