Hello friends! The Slowvember sale has started and I know it’s of great interest to many of you, so I’ve put together a list of some of the BEST products along with some education (of course) about each one. What is Slowvember? It’s an annual sale held by Deciem (The Ordinary, NIOD) that runs throughout the month of November. The only day that is excluded is Black Friday. It is meant to be the OPPOSITE of urgency. Take your time, learn about the products and be selective. Be sure to check mine out corresponding YouTube video.
