Hi, I’m Desi, and welcome to Soda Syrup Beauty Blog 🎀✨
My journey with beauty began in 2014 during my theatre club days, where I first learned about makeup while creating looks for various plays. However, as someone with naturally oily, acne-prone skin and virtually no skincare knowledge, the heavy stage makeup only made my breakouts worse. This created a vicious cycle—my acne damaged my confidence, so I’d pile on more makeup to hide my insecurities, which only irritated my skin further.
Fast forward eleven years, and I’ve transformed my relationship with beauty entirely. Through trial, research, and plenty of mistakes, I’ve developed the skills and knowledge I desperately wish my younger self had access to.
And I come to understand that the magic of beauty is not in the products but in our mindsets.
That’s exactly why I created ✨ Soda Syrup ✨—to be the guide I needed back then. This space is for women who want to embrace minimal, effective, and elegant beauty routines that enhance rather than mask their natural features. Here, you’ll discover how to achieve that polished, confident look without hiding behind layers of product.
Whether you’re just starting your beauty journey or looking to simplify your current routine, I’m here to help you find your most refined self.
