It’s no secret that I’m a bareMinerals junkie. Can’t get enough of it. I would snap a pic of my collection for you, but then I might find myself on an episode of Intervention.

Not long after, my (usually very problematic, acne-prone skin) cleared up…



Welcome to 86 Lemons. My name is Livvy. Thanks for stopping by! I test a wide variety of seemingly fun DIY projects, vegan recipes and consumer products (like the latest mascara, for example).
