February was a horrid month for me which left skincare and beauty on the back burner for most of it.

I'm indifferent... ☆☆☆ - YAAASSSSSS Full Sized...

I'm not a fan of lip glosses in general because they just make my lips feel sticky, but these glosses are fairly good in colour payoff (except the sheer ones) and stickiness. The first 5 glosses in this line...

As a coffee addict, LUSH’s Cup O’ Coffee Face and Body Mask ($9.99-$19.99) is right up my alley and smells like an insanely delicious cup of mocha. It claims to exfoliate and smooth the skin while leaving you looking and feeling fresh. Notable ingredients include ground coffee, agave syrup, glycerin and caffeine, along with oils and extracts. The ground coffee gives the mask it’s coarse texture and is acts as the exfoliator. Agave and glycerin,...

These kits would create...
