BioMarine by Oceana Topical Squalane
Last year, I started using a product to keep my skin soft and help reduce some faint lines (I’m 40+). But, even if you’re younger, I would still recommend this product because it does make your skin look good and it smells so nice. (Lavender/rosemary)
It’s called BioMarine by …

Avon Footworks Cherry Ice Cooling Foot Spray
The Footworks range from Avon was just available in the same scent for a good while. I like the products but the odd sort of Minty scent from the original range is a bit strange. There is a couple of different scents now in the range and this scent …

Olay Quench Body Lotion
This lotion is okay, but not the best stuff I’ve used.

Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss- Hot Coral
