Sometimes I get a little worried when the world (or sub-world) seems to be moving in lockstep. I haven't yet had a chance to sniff this one, so I have zero opinion of my own.

I read for REVIEWS - and that means the good and the not so good (and even a baddie now and then).<br /> I am lucky that Amaranthine works on my skin. When I wear it, there is a very interesting interplay between the greens and the creamy aspects.
