Origins | A Perfect World

I used to use a particular face wash some years ago and then strayed off the path in search for something different.  I was raiding my beauty closet and luckily this face wash was still in date!! * happy days..wink * I decided to use Origins A Perfect World face wash and old memories just came flooding back.   Origins A Perfect World This is a no brainer!!

Benefit: Hydra Smooth Lip Color Benefit: Hydra Smooth Lip Color The Benefit Hydra Smooth Lip Color, comes in an array of about ten different shades to suit all.  You can find corals to pinks to vampy shades.  The Hydra Lip Color USP is that it glides on swiftly onto the lips with the help of a slanted bullet - which gives a precise application. One doesn't need to use a lip brush for the deep, dark, bold colors as well.   Fling thing is a berry shade that goes well with most outfits and doesn't seem to bold either.  If y
