The Vault
Your new beauty bible, ingredient decoder, and product truth teller, all in one place.
The Vault is my growing archive of every product I’ve tested, loved, tolerated, or dramatically banished to the back of a drawer. Each entry includes a full ingredient breakdown (in plain English), some honest reviews, and a simple rating system to help you figure out what’s actually worth your money, and what’s just marketing wrapped in pretty packaging.
Dive in, explore, and let The Vault do the overthinking so you don’t have to.
Spoiler: She’s Just Fucking Tired
Hey. I’m Charlie, beauty therapist and skincare specialist of 16 years, award winning brand owner, and reluctant adult.
From the heart, I'm a 30 something elder emo with a mortgage, a mental illness, a full time job, and a deep, gnawing suspicion that adulthood is just one long episode of Black Mirror with less interesting outfits.
I’ve clawed my way through trauma, burnout, and the horrifying realisation that no one is actually coming to rescue us, and now I write about it...with lipstick on.
Findingthirty was created as a platform where I could share the chaos of life, the brilliance of skincare miracles, the struggles of mental health, and the humour in the unspoken truths of adulthood. It’s a space for women in their 30s who are navigating the highs and lows, with a dash of sarcasm and a lot of honest discussion. At its core, Findingthirty is about connecting, sharing, and finding clarity in the messiness of life. Join the community now.
Come for the product reviews. Stay for the oversharing, sarcasm, and a healthy amount of “what the fuck is going on.”
Welcome to the mess. You’re in good company.
