Boxwalla Beauty Box Review & Spoiler – February

February 22, 2016

The theme for the February Boxwalla* Beauty Box was beauty products to help you channel your inner Cleopatra. That statement alone was enough for me to want to try this box. This time of year is dull and fills me with the blahs. If it weren’t for pampering products and rituals like warm baths, I know I’d be feeling even more “blah”.

LUSH Lip Tint Review in Double Choc & It Started With A Kiss

November 5, 2010

I have never tried LUSH lip balms or lip tints before. Like most LUSH products, I find reviews that love or hate them.

I am not a lip gloss person because lip gloss lasts like 2 minutes on my lips and I hate the sticky feel of lip gloss. Lip tints aren’t sticky and moisturize like a balm.
