There is a mixture of products that I bought in London on my recent stopover there, and a few that are available here, so read on to get the lowdown: Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in “Nudist” I raved at length about “Raplumzel” in our July Favourites video and have since moved on to quite a serious love affair with nudes. “Nudist” is a highly wearable, gorgeous caramel nude shade that is easy to apply without a mirror and is now a permanent inhabitant…

Both Hand Maid anti-bac waterless cleanser and Hand Food…
