My Life Has Changed Forever

It’s about time for an update as I haven’t published a blog post since October of last year. My life has changed drastically and I am still right in the thick of it.

But I’m not gonna bore you will all the details and just get to it. The collection I purchased on launch day was crap. It did not blend well, was patchy, and inconsistent. Thank God, I was able to exchange it for a new set and lucked out on getting a better made collection! When I first laid eyes on the four palettes that make up The Vault Collection, I knew I would be […]
