I also bought a couple of facial wax strips! A dark-haired girl, the moustache and mono-brow is always there.
I got these products by Pretty Little thing, where I have free next day delivery for a year! So I Only ended up £14 including delivery. I have tried to student beans Discount on these products, But they don't do it for the beauty, for some reason.
