Hello beautiful souls, and welcome to Soda Syrup
I’m Desi, and I’m absolutely thrilled you’re here. After years of navigating my own beauty journey—from those chaotic theatre makeup days to finally finding my groove with minimal, elegant routines—I’ve created this space as the guide I wish I’d had when I was starting out.
What You’ll Find Here
✨ Minimal makeup tutorials that enhance your natural beauty instead of masking it

✨ Product recommendations that actually deliver on their promises
✨ Real talk about building confidence from the inside out
My Promise to You
Every post, every recommendation, every piece of advice comes from a place of authenticity. I’ve been where you are—struggling with breakouts, feeling overwhelmed by product choices, wondering if “less is more” actually works.
Spoiler alert: It absolutely does.
What’s Coming Next
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing:
- My current minimal makeup routine ✨
- I did pilates reformer sessions for two months: here are my thoughts 🧘♀️
- 5 skincare mistakes I made so you don’t have to 🫧

Remember, beautiful: You don’t need to hide behind layers of makeup to feel confident. Sometimes the most refined version of yourself is the one that’s barely there but perfectly polished.
