Updated: The Burdens of Originality: A Beautibi Box Review
September 30, 2019 update: Unfortunately, Beautibi is no longer carrying this box and is in the process of closing down. However, 23.5N products can now be found at GlowieCo, and I've updated my links to reflect that. In the past couple of years, Asian Beauty e-boutiques have popped up across the US and Canada like adorable [...]
