It does feel comfortable on the skin and has some medium coverage, which is… Continue reading Review : Organic BB cream So Bio Etic
I decided to try this pen style liquid liner by Sleek. I found it on the spanish beauty heaven Maquillalia. I’m very disappointed by this liner, as it was utterly dry when I opened it.
