        <summary>Can you believe it's that time again? It seems like I just posted a review on Ipsy's April bag. The sneak peeks of this month's Ipsy bag have been causing quite a stir amongst the beauty community. I have been doing my best to avoid any spoilers that way I could fully enjoy the awesomeness of this month's Spring Fling by Ipsy. Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick (Daydream): Mirabella Beauty mineral-based brand that claims to compliment all skin tones. I have received Mirabella products in the past, but this is the first time I've had the opportunity to try one of...</summary>

        <summary>After two weeks of trying to find Wet n Wild's new Spring Forward Limited Edition palettes at my local drugstores, I finally did a little research and managed to find both palettes online for a somewhat reasonable price. I received both palettes today and I'm happy to be adding both to my palette collection. Wet n Wild (Nude Awakening): This palette has been getting rave reviews across the beauty blogger/vlogger community and is being hailed as a dupe for the Urban Decay's Naked palette. Check out Nouveau Cheap's in depth comparison between Nude Awakening and Naked here. Left Side Right...</summary>

        <summary>GlossyBox is probably the most anticipated box out of my three current monthly subscriptions. I received this box last week and have been dragging my feet getting this post up...because frankly...I've been lazy. lol. Anyways, I figured it was time I give GlossyBox a proper review on my blog. Their monthly boxes are beautifully packaged, well curated, and they definitely entice me to try new brands and different products. April's theme was "Work that Beauty"... Glow Blush by TIGI (Lovely): I've seen TIGI's salon products and had no idea they had a cosmetic line as well. I was pleased to...</summary>
