We are better at Twitter, but even then there have been gaps when JBD_for_beauty has not been as active as we would have liked. But we are determined to change. And we need your help. So we thought it would be nice to run a little competition giveaway for three lucky people who fan us on Facebook.]]> http://www.justbeautydirect.co.uk/voices/2010/10/30/just-beauty-direct-smashbox-giveaway/feed/ 1 http://www.justbeautydirect.co.uk/voices/2010/10/29/smashbox-wish-list-2010/ http://www.justbeautydirect.co.uk/voices/2010/10/29/smashbox-wish-list-2010/#comments Fri, 29 Oct 2010 10:05:58 +0000 Just Beauty Direct http://www.justbeautydirect.co.uk/voices/?p=239 Probably my favourite of the Smashbox Wish collections - mainly as it contains three of my favourite products; Photo Op (pat a tiny bit of this under your eye for the best eye brightener).
