It was so much fun reading about everybody’s first beauty product purchases. I remember my Lip Smackers and Bonnebell pre-teen days. Haha. Those were the days.

Here is my answer to Week 2’s question: “What was the first beauty product you purchased?”

Before I had bought anything, I was using my mom’s gift with purchase products she got from department stores. Haha. My first beauty product I bought was Maybelline’s Great Lash. I believe I was 18 or had just turned 19. I know. I’m a late bloomer.  I remember I kept seeing the mascara win award after award. Plus it was always featured in YM and Seventeen. I mean it was everywhere so I had to give it a try!

Alright, onto the winner of the Marie Louise Restoration Gel…
