The color is super pigmented and creamy so you only need a small amount. OCC is 100% vegan and retails for $18.00 a tube. Not bad … Read More

Beauty Report: Swa-Rai Put’s KA’oir Lipstick Sex to the Test
I love trying all shades and brands of lipstick! I don’t know what happened but when I turned 30, I all of a sudden became obsessed with “non-traditional” lip colors.
