This is where I review all of it: chemical, mineral, tinted, boosted, imported, affordable, or outrageous.

I’m all about peptides, enzymes and acids in my skin care products. And, I’m a huge believer in Retinol. I’ve had Botox injected into my ‘11s’ (not my feet, but rather the two vertical lines in between the brows on…
