Shangpree Mega-Review

A few weeks ago, Korean beauty e-tailer Peach & Lily reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in trying some of their products. Um…yes please? For, you know, *cough cough* research purposes. Can I have them all? All kidding aside, I have shopped from P&L in the past and I love their product offerings. And […]
