Moving on to the third cover story of our Morena Muse and August 2018 #CalyxtaGirl, Gabbi shows us a more candid side this time around-an everyday Gabbi who gets a little bit more comfortable during our interview, laughs and jokes around, and is not afraid to share that like any normal teenager, she sometimes gets lazy to do the chores at home (I mean, to be honest, who doesn’t?), and even gets reprimanded for it-something we don’t normally see in her usually bubbly and exceptionally colorful Instagram feed. Sometimes, we tend to forget that even our favorite cover girls have lives away from the limelight and do even the most mundane things-like doing the dishes. And it’s exactly these tidbits of information that make them even more real to us. Read more about our cover girl and what she normally does outside of shoots and promotions.

Well, lucky for you, we’ll be breaking them down in this article!
The much raved about Glossier swept through the beauty world like a welcome hurricane and produced cult-favorites that beauty junkies are continuously gushing about. This includes their must-have Balm Dotcom, a multi purpose balm that claims to treat practically every skin issue from head to toe. Its popularity status didn’t come lightly. But if you’re looking for dupes, check out this article that Calyxta Beauty Contributor, Ari Yupangco, wrote!
