Someone at Jane Iredale is a chocoholic after my own heart. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the new chocoholiks gift set. Beyond giftable, this adorable little box includes four lip glosses made with 100% natural ingredients, including antioxidant sunflower seed oil and hydrating jojoba seed oil. And perhaps even more important than the wholesome ingredients is the inherent yumminess...

I do love an auld beauty buy (which you discover while using it) that’s actually bloody good at doing something else altogether. I tested my Garnier Pure Active zit-zappy yoke as an ingrown hair solution and it performed admirably. Lynnie’s let us in on her secret weapon too - using bronzer or loose powder as [...]
