Retropical samples were provided for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. I am a huge fan of retro and vintage stuff. Retro design, old style makeup & cosmetics, vintage clothing, it’s all good! I mean, my first set of grown up furniture was a complete set of Mid Century Modern Teak furniture. I also love vivid colors. I always tell people I’m not afraid of color, and it’s sooo ...
May 2013 Ipsy Bag Overview
May 2013 Ipsy Bag was paid for by me. I get nothing from them, I'm just a fan! The May 2013 Ipsy bag was another good one. The theme was Spring Bloom, yet had a chevron bag. I thought that was strange, but I am kind of in love with the bag, so we’ll let it slide. I know what you’re saying, too: “May’s Ipsy bag? But, ummm…isn’t it JUNE?” Yes. Yes it is. I had a bit of a ...

It’s a new entry into the subscription box market, but it’s really different than the others out there. I am a huge fan of subscription boxes.

Covet Waterproof Eyeliner Will Make You Happy
A good eyeliner is hard to find. Sometimes I feel like Goldilocks and the Three Bears when looking for one. “This one’s too hard and tugs. This one’s too soft and gets mushy. This one doesn’t have a nice line, or wears off after practically no time.” Well, I think I found a new liner that’s just right! Anastasia Beverly Hills has come out with a new eyeliner that is fantastic! Covet ...
