Essence Me & My Ice-Cream Shimmer Pearls Review

Another great product from Essence and a very cute one to boot! Part of the Essence Me & My Ice-Cream limited edition range, which is currently available in stores, the shimmer pearls really do remind me of little scoops of ice-cream. It is quite a good dupe for the Guerlain Meteorites and at only R45 I will be stocking up…

Unboxing a Rubybox

Last month I was unable to attend a Rubybox Blogger breakfast but the lovely ladies still sent me a box to try out.
