Hi Karen! I've been following you on Twitter but I am a new blog follower. My answers:
ReplyDeleteTwo of your FAV products:
MAC Colour Cream Base in Bronze
Physicians Formula Baked Bronzer

Happy blog anniversary Karen!!!
ReplyDeleteI think two of your favorites are Covergirl Lastblast Mascara, and Palmer's Cocoa Butter Body Lotion. I actually like both of those too! My skin is a wreck, cocoa butter is one of the only things that helps, and I love the Lashblast mascara, the wand alone somehow makes my lashes look longer and thicker.
