A few weeks ago I was invited to join a BzzCampaign for Garnier's BB Cream that's geared for us oily-skinned folk.

Well hello again! Last week I was hit with the flu...hard. I was in bed for a week! I can't think of a time I've been that sick before. Looking through my Twitter & FB timeline I kept seeing everyone else posting about them having the disgusting bug too. It sure did get around!

Happy Tuesday, beauties! I was strolling through Wal-Mart & decided to check out the Hard Candy section, I've looked through a few times & even purchased some items for a friend overseas but for some reason never picked up anything for myself (THE HORROR!)

Okay, let's face it...by now you all know how much I ADORE monthly subscription services! Last month I reviewed my June Starlooks Starbox which can be seen by clicking here.

One day when I was strolling around my feed on Twitter, I came across a tweet about Ruddy Water, the name was intriguing so I decided to follow and see what it was all about. Turns out Ruddy Water was created by Elizabeth Noe because she was searching for fragrance towelettes but came up empty handed. She did what any person does when they can't find an item, they create their own! ;Marinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05839817352819104337noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212470474639073090.post-81127891426401717992012-07-14T23:56:00.000-06:002012-07-14T23:56:20.926-06:00$300 Summer Beauty Collab Giveaway!
