Product Review: Flying Fox Shower Gel by Lush Cosmetics

I’m a Lush fan. Every year after the holidays I find myself a Lush store (kind of hard to do, the closest one to me is about 400 miles away) and grab their biggest gift sets, and then get my second one free.

Holiday Gift Idea: Michael Kors Very Pretty

All this talk about Tom Ford has made me almost forget my main squeeze, Michael Kors. I do love me some Michael – he consistently makes fashion accessible to many, and his fragrances are among my favorites. One that I haven’t tried yet, although I’m dying to, is Michael Kors Very Pretty. Although the name sounds like something I’d find at my local Victoria’s Secret, the description sounds wonderful. Intense sparkling citrus drenched coconut meshed with sheer white florals add a touch of femininity. Sensual vetiver and lush sandalwood create a sophisticated balance, resulting in an indulgent floral interpretation of [...]
