Pink Beauty Products that I *Heart*

Happy Valentine's Day to all! I hope everyone has a day filled with candy hearts, ping & red & LOVE :) Oh, and fun beauty products!Outrageously Delicious Hard Candy Flavored Body Powder
The best part about these shimmers is that they are flavored...they actually taste good! They leave a soft shimmer on your body with just a few sweeps. All shimmers seem to be the same, even though they are tinted different colors in the containers. Honey, Cocoa, Pink Sugar & Marshmallow - all produce a light shimmer, perfect for your neck, chest and shoulders.
You can find these at Walmart for $6.27 a pop!


AVON Glazewear Lip Gloss
This is a great gloss. Goes on smooth and stays on for a long time. I love it in Iced Pink (second one from the left in picture). It's super girly pink, with a hint of frost. You can buy these from your local AVON representative or order online at avon.com. They are on sale for $2.99 right now (normally $6.)!!
All your beauty products need a place to belong, and that place should be stylish. Check out these personalized cosmetic bags by Simply-Bags.com. Perfect for organizing your cosmetics/jewelry at home, and perfect for traveling. The best part, you can personalize them, with your name or initials. These make wonderful gifts, specifically I'm thinking for bridesmaid gifts!I know this product is purple, but it's so good I have to include it. Dark Kiss by Bath and Body Work is my new favorite scent. It's vanilla-berry scented, and stronger than most of their (not in a bad way). The Shea Cashmere Hand Cream is amazing. A little on their pricier side, so wait for it to go on sale before splurging.
