Ok Ladies, now that you have the products, PLEASE don’t add sparkle to every area of your face and body –we don’t want to look like a giant Christmas ornament!  Instead, pick a couple of areas to add a little pop! Perhaps just one spot on your face like eyes and on the body. You can use this list to pick and choose what works best for you!

Enjoy the holidays!

Peace, Love and Sexiness!
