L’oreal Paris Infallible 18 hour foundation
L’oreal Paris Infallible 18 hour foundation, available in several shades at most drugstores, is a pretty good buy. I bought it when I worked long outdoor shifts because no other foundation would stay on my skin for seven hours of no
touchups. The foundation, although it is a …
White Rain Hairspray

Bodycology Brand Lotions and Body Sprays

Tom’s of Maine Long Lasting Natural Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara
When I saw the name of this new mascara from Maybelline I couldn’t help but laugh because it seems like the cosmetic companies are finally running out of things to name their products. I guess it happens, but I can see why they decided to name the latest …
Olay Body Creme Ribbons Body Wash with Almond Oil
I’ve never been much of a fan of Oil of Olay products. They always seem more designated in their design for older woman, and I’m only in my mid-thirties and I’m not quite ready yet to give in to the possibility that I’m just flat-out getting older and might …
