It’s been a very “pretty” month! Between the Chanel Ribbon Blush and the TF Honeymoon quad, the GS UD lipsticks, just WOW!!!
And now that MAC Flamingo Park collex has hit the stores, too! ?
An unusually coral-heavy month, it seems!
It’s good to see there were some winners in the month 🙂
Don’t know how to comment here. I love some colors.others,not as much. That is personal preference, not quality. I like to know what is and isn’t good despite my color bias so I appreciate your reviews.
As always, love your honest reviews. Thank you Christine.
Thank you, Susan!
