I’m a little addicted to body scrubs at the moment. My stress melts away as the exfoliating granules stimulate circulation and slough off the dead skin cells. I’m loving the Jealous Body Scrub ($18.95) simple all-natural formula. Made with fresh coffee grounds, raw brown sugar, and sea salt, the handmade concoction also contains cold-pressed organic coconut oil and vitamin…
A Subtle Pretty Glow with L’Oreal True Match Lumi
Although the summer seems to enhance my complexion far more than in the colder months, there are days when my skin can look very bland. I personally do not tan very much (although thankfully do not burn either) I just generally stay a warm ivory colour all year long. Often I am on the lookout…

Admittedly my favourite part of the movie was seeing the gorgeous sixties inspired makeup and fashion but the movie was also very funny and full of action. Pür Minerals is mostly known…

Of course this…
