Review: Lime Crime’s D’Lilac Lipstick


Lime Crime D'Lilac Lipstick

Brand controversy aside, I wanted to share my honest opinion of Lime Crime’s “D’Lilac” lipstick. First off, what girl doesn’t love unicorns?

So I had to look elsewhere for the “perfect nude shade.” Continue reading “Review: American Apparel’s “Mannequin” Nail Polish”
