Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Waterproof
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] There’s never a time when I’m not happy to see a new mascara (it’s when I test them things get tricky – yes, I’m looking at you, Benefit!) so…
I Heart Revolution Fruity Bath Fizzers

Wunder2 Matte Lipsticks

Becca Hydra-Light Plumping Lip Balm
[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] The absolute irony of finding something utterly lovely from Becca just as the news breaks that it’s to close. At least I can give you a steer of something…
