While I do love beauty ( & non-beauty on Home in High Heels!) monthly favorites, skincare has to absolutely blow me away to be included. & not everything works for my skin type, tone, or preferences.

I remember I was specifically at the Downtown Disney location in California & there was some kind of special where I needed to spend 5 more dollars.

This year they broke out a new one- Rose & Mandarin…& I was right on top of it! [Read more…]
