beauty guru & perfume whisperer
I’ve heard so much about Fitglow Beauty Vita-Active Foundation being the perfect “your skin but better” product, I just had to try it. I went to the Terra 20 near my house, tried it, loved it, and bought some. After sharing it on Instagram, Fitglow kindly sent me some more
I love lip gloss – it’s practically all I wear. Sometimes I alternate it with balm, tinted balm, lip oils and even tinted lip oil. Like any normal person, I like to have at least 2 4 6 lip products with me in my purse at any given time. I

Nothing beats the old standby, Vaseline jelly, for protecting our tender lips from the elements. Vaseline protects, promotes healing and leaves a soft sheen to the lips. I spotted this teeny tiny Vaseline Lip Therapy jar at the drugstore, and, lo and behold, it was tinted a deep pink! Lip
