Blackbird Broken Glass EDP Perfume Review

November 12, 2015

Blackbird Broken Glass

I’ve spent a few months trying it. And it’s an odd fragrance because what I’m perceiving is unlike many of the reviews I’ve since read. And this is why I love perfume.

The Lipstick League – week of 9.12.11

EauMG’s Answer: I typically love fall makeup collections the best because they pack more drama than any other. This fall I’ve fallen (pun intended) for many lines’ collections. I love the neutrals and Cat Woman glamour of Dior’s The Style Empress. MAC is launching a Cindy Sherman Collection this month. I have a feeling it will bring me back to
