About the writer

Hi, I’m Fenna!

“To me, beauty isn’t a complicated 12-step ritual. It’s a little moment just for you.”

A serum that actually makes your skin glow, a mascara that lasts all day, a tip that saves you ten minutes in the morning: that’s what gets me excited, and that’s what I love sharing with you.

A quick note about links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you buy something through one of them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps keep this site running, but my opinions are never for sale. Beauty Shelf Notes is an independent editorial site: it does not sell products or process orders.
