I am not very impressed with this Bourjois lipstick, especially as it is not exactly a cheap lipstick, at £7.99. It is from their ‘Sweet Kiss’ range and the colour I chose, being quite pale, is ‘Praline Distingue’ which is a pinky/beige shade.
It promises “intense, radiant …

I think this must be from Marks & Spencer’s most inexpensive range of basic shampoo and I believe the several holiday-size 100ml bottles I bought were on special offer at the time for 50p each. I chose the Coconut and Honey variety intended for dry and damaged hair.

Avoid using Dromaius Facial Day Cream by Longview Farms. It does not do what it claims to on the longview website on the Internet - that is, be soothing and ideal for sensitive, dry skins, because it is “fortified” with Emu Oil and Oat Protein, and SPF protection!
Because of …
