Parasailing in Cabo San Lucas

Happy Monday Beauties!

November 13th, 2009 by Crystal

Almay v Lancome Makeup Removers

If I got caught without a bottle of makeup remover in the house, I’d undoubtedly start to hyperventilate and speak gibberish.

Just kidding…but I would become paranoid wondering if keeping my mascara on was going to make all my eyelashes fall off.

When you’re as meticulous as I am about removing every last bit of makeup, you’ll only want the tried and true… and, the best. Both Lancôme and Almay have won countless numbers of awards for their amazing makeup removers.
