I was so excited by a new cleanser I received for review, NUDE Perfect Cleanse, that I wanted to tell you about it right away. But I made myself use it for a couple of weeks to make sure I didn’t lose my enthusiasm. I definitely still love it as much as I did the …
I’ve wanted to try Cindy Lou Manizer Luminzer from theBalm for ages and ages. Finally, it was on sale on Hautelook for half off, so I took the plunge. I love the all of the fun, witty packaging from theBalm, and the Cindy Lou Manizer packaging is very cute especially since she’s a redhead. The …
