When the Wife came to the UK she brought her papya soap and still uses it everyday
But like you when in her first year we were invited to my sisters wedding she was most worried about doing her own makeup, which she practiced with a friend before hand and made notes!! now less than 5 years later she is an accounts major for a very well known make up company and from what her friends says is an expert in all things make up
One thing we did find out at great costis some Phill beauty products dont seem to have the same affect maybe its the weather, diet or tap water (hard or soft water?)? The wife often found for the UK Brit products worked far better and phill ones back home..
