Promises, Promises

Oh hello, poor, sad, neglected, little blog.  It’s been months since I’ve posted anything.  I won’t make excuses, but I will try to get you updated. So first of all, not too long after I wrote my last post (mid April), I decided that I’d had enough of my job.  I was having panic attacks…

Makeup Shopping Haul

On the same Tysons trip where I visited the Intimacy store, I also spent a little time in MAC and Sephora.  I was specifically looking for a few products I had seen in vintage makeup tutorials from Cherry Dollface,Lisa Freemont Street, and Elegant Musings.  I’m no makeup expert, but I know enough to pull off a decent…
