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.

Anastasia Beverly Hills has come out with a new eyeliner that is fantastic! Covet ...
