Pity if one has to waste so much water and then energy (to wash so many clothes) in the process, though. <br /><br />You know, if the lip balm and concealer are as good as the regular lipsticks (so I could snitch them myself!) I might surprise mine and pick a set at some point ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-84370066683214228762013-10-26T11:14:37.545+01:002013-10-26T11:14:37.545+01:00Oh yes i understand the bath thing now.

I accually would buy this kit for my husband but he would give me the concieler and lip balm. Now wether he would use all the items, no way.

So far, the big decision has been which deodorant he should buy--apparently Old Spice is IN, and AXE is Out among the 12-year-old set.
