IPSY for March! Swatches, Opinions

  IPSY is coming at you very late I’m so sorry! But there’s so much to talk about, I have lots of thoughts. I always have so much thoughts. Many think. It’s springtime ^-^ I am getting some sunshine and writing this from a cafe. I’ve been recently listening to these immersive writing sessions from a YouTube channel called Abbie Emmons. They have a few stretches of writing time, called Sprints, and then breaks in between. They also tell a story, the music transitions as you write, I think. So there is one where you’re writing inside the Enchanted Forest and the longer you write the more the music turns a little more dark, or one on a northbound train during a blizzard, and stuff like that.  This one is called Cozy Seaside Cottage on a Summer’s Day, it’s piano music and the sounds of the seaside. Making me want to visit my hometown. Anyway! That’s what I’ve been writing to. I can never do anything if I’m not doing it to music. My mind just doesn’t work without it. Also - I’m movin

Spotlight On Black-Owned Beauty by Allure Reviews, Swatches, Thoughts

  Hi! Spring is here! I have more energy for writing and creating and talking. This month I added an additional box of products onto my Allure Beauty Box. Just for funsies. A little treat.  So I’m not an activist or like, someone who cares much to know the race of the person I’m buying from? If that makes sense? I don’t know, I was just raised that someone’s race isn’t important. Like, not like you can’t be proud of your heritage, just like, your race doesn’t have anything really to do with anything. Am I the only one raised like that? It really feels like it sometimes.  That being said, I think it’s cool to get a bunch of products together from one group of people and be like hey, our community did something cool, we’re proud of it, check it out. So I ordered the Spotlight on Black Owned Beauty Box for a couple reasons. The price, $49.99 was excellent for the number of products, I think there were nine. Some were deluxe but for the most part these were full sized products.
