I love roses, and I delight in rose-based beauty products. However, it hadn't dawned on me that I had amassed a rather large collection until the other day when I was rummaging around my skincare stash. It was then that I had the "Aha Moment" that I should round up what I had and do a post about my favorite rose infused beauty products. Here are my favorites:
The Organic Pharmacy Rose Balm ($69.00 reviewed here): Yes, it is true that I am madly in love with everything that I have from The Organic Pharmacy, and their Rose Balm is a divine multitasker.
