Fiberlash Fever!!
For any and all ladies out there who have struggled with finding the perfect mascara, let me start by saying I feel your pain! My lashes are blonde and therefore nonexistent without mascara.

It was time for a change. So, I set out to find THE BEST foundation for humid months and girls that sweat! Continue to read what I discovered… Read more
