Five Accessible Beauty Products

When I started blogging (in 2017!), I did so because I wanted to be able to talk about my disability along with all the other things that make up my life, and be able to talk about how they intersect. So for my last Disability Pride Month-specific post, it's only fitting that I talk about one of my favorite intersections - disability and beauty. I'm sharing five beauty products that I love because they are especially accessible for me!

I picked up two of them and was really impressed, but because you could only order directly from their site, never went back to try out more of their products. But when I saw that Violette_fr was now available at Sephora, it was the perfect reminder for me to check out more of their products! It turns out I'm a fan of everything I tried - here are my thoughts.
