Gwen Stefani for Urban Decay

It is rare that I write a review so quickly after getting a product but I had to say something about the new Gwen Stefani for Urban Decay palette.  Continuing with my rare streak, it is highly unusual that I actually have excitement for a celebrity collaboration; it usually isn’t my thing.  I knew, however, from […]

Frosted Plum from The Body Shop

Lush

Lush is a mecca for cosmetics lovers.  Their window displays, friendly atmosphere and beautiful scents are incredibly alluring and can’t be ignored.  I love the brand because the cosmetics are all fresh and hand-made but most importantly they are cruelty free.  Lush is fighting the good fight against animal testing.
