The Body Shop Colourglide Lip Color in Pure Blush (55)
The Product

Jane Eye Zing in Hazelnut
My mom knows how much I love natural colors, so when she saw the Jane eyeshadow for sale, she decided to buy me one in Hazelnut. I’m pretty sure Jane Eye Zings are about three dollars each which is a really affordable price. The color Hazelnut is a very …
Mary Cohr Showering Gel

I quickly began to research hair …
Giorgio Armani Maestro Eye Shadow
I like this Maestro Eye Shadow but my liking could not convert into love for this product. I am not 100% happy and satisfied with the product features. It says something else and produces something else at few instances. The quality of product is undoubtedly fine. But the shades …

Mario Badescu Drying Cream
From my previous review of the Mario Badescu Healing and Soothing Mask, this one unfortunately wasn’t as great of a product. I kicked this one out of my acne regime. This cream contains aloe that conceals and heals acne. It’s used for those under surface bumps in the skin …
Braun Silk Epil Wet and Dry
Of the huge variety of epilators currently on the market which claim to offer effective hair removal, this new offering by Braun should be considered amoung the best. Not only is the Silk-Epil 7681 one of the few epilators to function perfectly in wet conditions (not only on wet …

Pure Silk Shave Cream

I have …
Naturals Bath & Body Products by Avon
