Rimmel Super wear 10 day wear topcoat

Squeezy Lip Smacker

Bobbi Brown Lip Brush

Human Heart Nature Day Moisturizer (sunflower and papaya)
I’m a goner for moisturizers. A lot of moisturizers break me out, and there’s too many to mention. I read a book authored by Susan Kurz on the skincare philosophy developed by Dr. Hauschka. The book and Dr. Hauschka’s website cemented my partiality to natural ingredients, …

Kiehl’s Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-Free Toner
