Prayers are Answered: RMS Beauty Swift Shadows

For years, I’ve been begging Clean cosmetics brands to come out with pressed powder eye shadows.  No matter how gorgeous the colors are, I simply won’t mess with loose powder shadow formulas.  They are messy, hard to travel with, and it’s difficult for those of us who are not makeup artists to get just the right amount…

Clean, Luxe Hostess Gifts

Hostess gifts can be tough.  I always look for something special, something that someone wouldn’t necessarily purchase for themselves.  The packaging must be beautiful, and I honestly prefer to pick up brands and products that are a little more obscure.  And, obviously, I prefer to give nontoxic goodies that I’ve tried myself and have loved.
