Hello my friends!
Happy Monday and welcome to another Meet me Mondays – this will be the second last one for the year. Can you believe how fast time has flown! Today I am here with Paige of @skincarexpaige, I only came across Paige’s account sometime this year and she has great content! If you’re into skincare, definitely give her a sus! Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Tell us a bit about yourself
My name is Paige and I am 23 years old and I live a couple of hours north of Sydney. I am a full time student and I will be graduating at the end of this year with my Bachelor of Speech Pathology! I also have a part time job in pharmacy, which I have been in for about 8 years. In my down time I love spending time with my fiancé and our fur babies!
Why did you start your Instagram account?
After dealing with some skin conditions/problems, I became obsessed with learning about skincare and finding what works for my skin concerns! Not many of my friends are really interested in skincare, so I didn’t really have anyone to share my passion with. So, I decided to create an account to share with my followers!
What’s one skincare product you’re loving at the moment?
This is a hard to choose one product! But I would have to say Laneige’s Cream Skin Toner & Moisturiser
Are there any particular brands that are a dream collab for you?
I have been extremely lucky and I am so grateful that I have been able to collaborate with some amazing brands. I would love to work with Paula’s Choice though!
What’s currently on your wish list?
Hmm, one makeup product that’s on my wishlist is Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint.
A skincare product that I really want to try is Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence
What has been the highlight of your year?
Despite all of the lockdowns and the horrible consequences of covid, I have been realy lucky to have been offered a job for next year (as a speech pathologist) that I really wanted! Our family also grew another member recently. Her name is Hazel and she’s an adorable Australian Bulldog.
Is there anything you’ve been watching/reading/listening to lately?
I’m not much of a reader actually! I love listening to podcasts and watching TV shows. I recently finished watching Squid Game and really enjoyed it!
What are some of your holy grail beauty products?
- The Daily Co At-Home Microdermabrasion tool
- Medik8 Crystal Retinal
- Ultra Violette Lean Screen
- Kate Somerville Delikate Recovery Cream
Do you have any photography tips for people who are looking to start up a beauty Instagram account?
I’m a true believer that you do not need to go out and spend a crazy amount on props/backdrops/cameras to get amazing quality pictures! Start off my going and getting some cardboard to use as a backdrop and utilise the natural sunlight outside to get bright, crisp shots! I also use an app called ‘Preview: Planner for Instagram’ to plan out my feed to make it look cohesive!
Where can we find you on social media?
My Instagram account is @skincarexpaige
I would love for you to visit my account and introduce yourself!
And that brings us to the end of another Meet me Mondays! I hope you all enjoyed learning a bit more about Paige and don’t forget to check out her account!
See you back here next week for a new blog post!
With love
