Hey there, my name is Ashley! I'm a photographer as well as a girl addicted to beauty and fashion. I love reading blogs and so I decided it might be time to make my own :) I especially like beauty blogs dedicated to reviews and swatches, and I'm always on an endless search for swatches of things I want to buy over the internet. I also love experimenting with new ways of wearing makeup, but I'm especially fond of purple, thus my blog's name! I love purple eyeshadow and lipsticks, and really anything else that's pretty and purple. I also love painting my nails and finding new frilly dresses to wear. I'm definitely a girly girl, but make no mistake, I'm not a ditzy one! I just love the way that makeup and fashion let me express myself, and I certainly do it more for myself than anyone else!
