Hello Gorgeous!
Get ready for a great week! This episode of the new Makeup University web series has a short review on two new products I just tried: the Burt's Bees sensitive skin with cotton extract night creme and eye creme as well as the C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tints. I enjoyed both!

You can find Burt's Bees at Walmarts, Targets, Sprouts and drugstores abound. C.O. Bigelow at Bath and Body Works stores in malls everywhere! I have a health tip in the video and my most favorite part is the last segment where I take a moment to encourage you. This episode I am revisiting the topic of bullying-specifically online bullying. So watch the video to learn how to 'stop block and tell'!
