That imbue the skin with that je ne sais quoi glow/sheen, and never with a glittery finish.<br /><br />Which would you recommend -- the RBR or the Guerlain?<br /><br />BooBooNinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009091822197951584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-30782459826903109352012-02-15T17:11:19.245-05:002012-02-15T17:11:19.245-05:00Charlestongirl, thank you for taking the time to r...Charlestongirl, thank you for taking the time to respond.
