Cheek couture

So at times I think I do you Health & Swellness readers a bit of a disservice.

It has to do with my obsession with beauty products. As part of my job, I receive a number of new launches to try out. And at times the packaging and product are just so pretty, they make my heart skip a beat and all I do (sometimes for weeks) is take it out of the packaging, and fondle it lovingly before placing it back in my drawer of products to try. I don’t want to actually (gulp) mess it up by actually trying it out. I know I’m not alone–my girlfriend S. compares new beauty products to crack (she practically hyperventilates when I present her with a goodie bag brimming with shiny, new cosmetics).

I bring this up as I’ve had this limited-edition Giorgio Armani Blushing Fabric Second Skin Blush in my possession for a few weeks now, weeks I’ve spent fondling and coveting the tube (yes, without having even tried a drop of it).

And so before it all sells out, you’d be better off reading BeautyEditor.ca’s Michelle Villett’s review of it cuz there’s no knowing when I’ll get around to “ruining” the brand new tube by actually using it.
