The Body Shop - Much Loved Fragrances 2015

Product Review - The Body Shop (TBS) Body Mists Hello Beauties!!! What better thing to talk about other than fragrances that prep you for the winter months.

Ends...phew! I did not shop any make-up products in the month of May 2015 as it was so hot and humid in Mumbai. I just did not want to try out any new products or experiment anything with my skin unless it was something I trust. I kept going back to these products most of the time and therefore picked them up as my faves for this month.  Lotus Herbals Colorkick Kajal I got this randomly and I did not even want one (already owning fresh piece of Maybelline Colossal Kaja
