Welcome to Beauty Notes
Hi, I’m Isabela, an esthetician student and beauty writer. Since 2019, I’ve been writing and editing in the beauty industry, diving deep into the latest trends, testing products, and studying the science behind glowing skin. My mission? To uncover what works, no fluff, just results.
You may have seen my work on StyldLife, where I’ve written about hair, fashion, and beauty alongside their team and a talented roster of celebrity stylists. But here on Beauty Notes, we’re going beyond the surface. This blog is your skincare cheat sheet, curated by someone who’s obsessed with beauty, loves a good before-and-after, and isn’t afraid to try (almost) everything.
Whether you’re a skincare newbie, a seasoned pro, or just in it for the vibes, you’re in the right place. Think of this as your go-to guide for all things skin.
Stay tuned,
Isabela ✨
