13 Indie Brands That Remind Me of Goth Culture and/or Halloween
Disclaimer: Skip ahead if you don’t care for a long introduction. Okay, I do not prescribe to goth culture, therefore I am quite ignorant on that score. Therefore, take everything I say with a grain of salt. I, however, do adore goth aesthetic, and I found these brands to be gothic in nature to my ignorant eyes. While they all also remind me of Halloween (not to be stereotypical), some remind me of All Hallow’s Eve a bit more than goth. Now I know it’s quite a bit early, seeing that it is not even September yet. But the inspiration hit (looking at my local stores that were already advertising costumes) and I wanted to hit the idea when it was still hot. Hence, here we are.

Morphe Review
Morphe is a brand that I recently discovered. I have watched many YouTube Beauty Vloggers obsess over this brand but always thought that they were high end for some reason. When I discovered their makeup was reasonably priced I was excited to try them out. I love trying new products and have heard many positive things about this brand.

Tame the Mane
What’s your concept of beauty? In this all natural, whole grain, non-GMO, gluten-free society, the natural hair journey has continued to evolve. But are we losing sight of what it means to be beautiful? Do we have to compromise health for beauty? I know I did! I thought if I could just grow my hair long enough I would be considered beautiful, desirable even. But is that necessarily the goal? Why is it so critical to have long hair?

BuyInCoins Review
I am a bargain shopper. I am always looking for the lowest price I can get on items I am planning to purchase. When I discovered BuyInCoins I was amazed at how inexpensive their items were. I decided to try out some of the items in their beauty category, as this is the category I shop the most in. This article is my honest opinion on this website and the items that I purchased from them. All items were purchased with my own money and this article is not a paid sponsorship. All opinions are that of my own and based on personal experience.

Face. There, I said it. I shave my face. I know a lot of you are worrying, won’t the hair grow back thicker? Won’t it grow back darker? What if I get a rash? I know. There are so many questions and several things to consider with shaving your face. It isn’t really considered "the norm" for a female to shave their face, is it? You must think… well, there must be reasons for that. But no, there isn’t really.
