Lotta Luv Peeps Scented Cotton Candy Marshmallow Cream Lip Balm

Almay “Intense i color” liquid liner

Wet n Wild Speedgloss Energizing Lipshine in ‘Uncontrollable’
exactly one of their best formulas, in my opinion it’s still better than anything Jordana has to offer.

KJI & Co Duo Lash Envy Kit
Chinese don’t usually have long, curly eyelashes, and I’m no exception. I rely on fake eyelashes and mascara to have long, curly, volumized eyelashes in order to make my flutters look more flattering.

Gillette Venus Breeze 2-in-1 Cartridges
I am a huge fan of mens razors. I’ll admit that I sneak my husband shaver and cartridges when he’s not looking. They are very expensive, but it’s some of the best shaves that I’ve had. Women have sensitive skin on their legs, and it astounds me that, for …
