PS Haven't tried any of
them. Note: "As these
cosmetcis do not contain
preservatives, they will
often need to be refrigerated
just as U would any other
perishable natural substance."
 
PPS Just in case U don't know
it, Connie is now the new wife
of Richard Taylor, Round-Section
King of America.
 
Bonne chance.
