Perfumania: Leslie Blodgett’s Bare Skin

Choosing the right perfume can be difficult.  I find that for me, wearing perfume is like sharing a personal part of myself with others.  So much of what type of perfume I choose to wear mirrors aspects of my personality, so I can be quite picky when it comes to finding something I like.  For [...]

True Red

With Fall increasingly approaching and marking its territory,  I’ve been switching out my wardrobe and packing away the Spring/Summer items until next year.   For my beauty palette, I’ve been switching out the lighter, summery colors for the darker colors.

I’m a part of the school of thought that believes the appearance and shape of the brows transform the rest of your face and raggedy brows just aren’t a good look.
