My recent trip to the Julep Nail Parlour in Seattle was not a spontaneous decision. Two weeks ago I was contacted by a lovely lady at Julep asking if I would like to review their products and offer my lovely readers (you!) a promo code. When I found out that they were in Seattle I [...]
I love navy blue almost as much as I love black. The only difference is that I wouldn’t slap black eyeshadow all over my lid and call it a day, whereas I would do that with navy blue. I don’t think that smokey eyes need to be only for creatures of the night-they are perfectly [...]
