Indie Expo Canada is fast approaching and if you are anything like me, you need a game plan to get through the day. I will be listing pricing, swatches and more as they become available. Some of these will be links to the brand’s fan page or IEC event group so you may have to request membership to see them.
Alter Ego Body Care Products 
Based out of Wisconsin, Alter Ego doesn’t offer free shipping to Canada so it is a great time to shop. Alter Ego has a great purple found in the VIP bags and a bright and cheerful pink with flash of blue as an exclusive. Plus, you can see me at her table so stop by and say hello! Cynthia will have her new Fan Faves collection as well an early release of her Jurassic Park inspired polishes!
