Davines Love Curl Enhance Shampoo
A common thing I just found out in almost all of Davines shampoos is that they can’t be used without the conditioner. Try using it separately, it’s a disaster! I’ve experienced this a lot of times before and this time is with Love Curl Enhance Shampoo.
At first impression, …

Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm
I received this specialty lip balm tube out of a Burt’s Bees variety pack. I am especially partial to the regular Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, and was curious as to how this variation (”Honey”) could match up. In my opinion, it did not.
It has a much different scent …

Studio Basics Dual Tip Paddle and Point Cosmetic Applicator

The Studio Basics dual …
