Alessandro Crystal Punk swatches

First time I saw Alessandro Crystal Punk promo photos I knew at least one would be mine. Blue set was my least favorite and turquoise my darling. Other two – I had no clue what would they look in real life. First I received the Alessandro Toxic Turquoise set for review and put in on … Read more
