When a packaging containing goodies from Annabelle’s Aqua Queen summer collection arrived at my door, I began dreaming of my upcoming Hawaiian vacation (2 months to go, but whose counting?). Everything about this collection screams tropical summer sojourns. Biggy Bronzing Powder Annabelle consistently produces great multicoloured bronzers. They give you the control to adjust the colour to [...]
