Velcro?, Wig Glue Lies 🤥, and Skin Prep…
Last night was supposed to be a simple skin prep night… but the way this mirror setup humbled me ðŸ˜
I tried using a suction cup to mount my phone to the bathroom mirror, the screw didn’t fit ANY of my equipment, and I ended up improvising with velcro strips. The phone fell a few times (because I didn’t clean the back of it 😅), but we made it work!
After the chaos, I got into my bleaching routine and my IHeart Turmeric & Clove soap mask for the night. I also talked about wig glue (because Goiple and Bold Hold are NOT bonding… grrrl stop lying), and how I found Ebin New York lace glue at Sally’s for a great price.
I’m finally going to try Fels‑Naphtha soap to clean my makeup brushes.
Cozy chaos, beauty talk, and real‑life hacks welcome to my world 💛✨

Have you ever had a mirror setup fail on you? ðŸ˜
Setting up the perfect mirror station is more challenging than it seems, as many of us have learned the hard way. I remember trying to use suction cups to mount my phone for hands-free beauty tutorials, only to realize that the screws didn’t fit any of my equipment. After a few phone drops, I discovered the importance of cleaning the back surface thoroughly for Velcro to stick properly—something I initially overlooked! When it comes to skin prep, incorporating natural ingredients like turmeric and clove into your mask routine can work wonders. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe the skin and reduce redness. Using a quality turmeric and clove soap mask overnight can improve your complexion over time, especially when paired with a good bleaching routine. I also want to bust some common wig glue myths. Many popular brands, such as Goiple and Bold Hold, might not bond as effectively as advertised, so it’s worth trying alternatives. I found that Ebin New York lace glue available at Sally’s offers a reliable hold without the frustration. It’s important to test products on a small area first to see how your skin reacts and how long the adhesive lasts. Lastly, cleaning your makeup brushes is essential for skin health, and I’m excited to try Fels-Naptha soap, which is praised for its ability to remove buildup without damaging bristles. Keeping brushes clean helps prevent breakouts and ensures smoother makeup application. These little insights and product tips come from real-life trial and error, turning cozy chaos into a well-rounded beauty routine.
