Playing Catch Up

No Comments

So, I’ve been in-active for quite a while. I’ve had a lot going on including my MacBook Pro being stolen :(, moving to a brand new apartment that I’m obsessed with (and having a blast decorating!), and about to open an etsy shop! I figured I would share an update via photos, to share what I’ve been up to. I’m very active on instagram, so if you’re an instagram user, be sure to follow me (@marissalynne). I post everything from recipes, to outfits, to recent home decor and fashion purchases. That’s actually where I’m pulling all of the pictures I’m sharing below!Currently one of the books on my coffee table. Nabbed this at TJMaxx for $5! DIY Paint Sample Magnets. Lowe’s has allen + roth paint samples that are not only stylish colors, but super cute names, like: Fashion Week, Park Avenue, Hail a Cab, and Girls Night Out. They come…

A Closer Look at AVEENO’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes

No Comments

I first gave you a peek of AVEENO’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes here, when I introduced some of their new summertime product additions. As I briefly mentioned there, I have had trouble finding a great makeup remover. I typically use baby oil, or a deep cleansing face wash while I am in the shower. The latter still doesn’t complete the job 100%, and baby oil can just be so messy.As always, AVEENO’s new makeup removing wipes do not disappoint. Their fresh smell and non-irritating formula, make for the perfect remover wipe that doesn’t burn my eyes (as many makeup removers do), and leaves my skin soft and smooth. The wipes use Active Naturals® Calming Feverfew™ – Feverfew is a natural calming flower, and is related to chamomile, which explains the soothing and gentle qualities. The package also has a hard plastic closure that snaps shut, as opposed to some other makeup removing wipe packages that…
