I just took a look at the TLB website and my oh my they have some amazing products that I would love to try! I The fact that they are cruelty free is a major plus also! Being a woman who is in between shades its hard for me to find the right one. TLB not only offers a quiz for foundation shade matching, but they match you with your perfect concealers, powders, blushes, lippies, etc... First time I've seen this from a beauty website! Such awesomeness all the way around! ✨✨✨
