Beauty writers tend to be inundated with products – so much that we readily share with our friends and families.
However, for all of us, there’s a few key items that we won’t share. These are the ones we will hoard as we get them and put in a safe place, just to make sure there’s NEVER a rainy day onto which we’ll run out.

One of my favorite new additions of Benefit Cosmetics’ Body So Fine.
I love this stuff – its scent is nothing short of seductive, and it has a shimmering pink to its pink body balm, which works just about everywhere!

One of my guilty pleasures is blood oranges.
