Drugstore Lovin' | Maybelline Eyes Edition
::: press sample / affiliate links :::Sure, high-end, luxury makeup is fun. Everyone knows that, but when it comes to day-to-day staples there are more and more great options available in the drugstore everyday.

Avon Anew Clinical Line Eraser with Retinol | Treatment & Targeted Treatment
::: press sample :::
"When is the right time to start using anti-aging skincare?" A question posed by a friend of mine in the not that distant past. Right now was my answer. She didn't appreciate that, but really, why not do it now? As sad as it might sound, you're aging every day. We all are. That's kind of how time works. When it comes to anti-aging skincare, preventative action can help keep the skin you have now longer and delay the signs you don't want to see. I've recently added a new member to my crew with the Avon Anew Clinical Line Eraser with Retinol in the forms of a Treatment and Targeted Treatment.
