I was browsing through Essence stands couple of weeks ago and spotted 2 new image plates. I could not find other two anywhere … I’m assuming there are 4 of them as they usually bring them out. I spotted the third one few timed on beauty blogs, but never really saw 4th one. Does anybody have it? How does it ...

I don’t celebrate many “holidays”, but International Woman’s Day is one that I always remember and reflect upon. I guess it is just something that comes from all the literature I read about subject and being aware of all the suffering and lives lost so we could have basic rights.

Quality of all 4 Essence image plates is ...

Two of my friends got married yesterday so it was “party/festive” kind of a day. My color combination for the day was electric blue and silver, so I made matching manicure. I don’t know what is the story with blue-silver combo and my obsessive compulsion to pair the two, but I did it again … I even bought the shoes ...
