I’m Lara, and I’m the person behind swatchgirl.com. I’m an escapee from the cosmetics industry, having done everything from cosmetics retail to trend predictions to consulting on product development. I’ve also been a photographer, a radio jock, a freelance writer and a copy editor. Jack of all trades, master of some!

Honesty is the best policy.
I sometimes receive products as gifts, or request items to trial. My crippling honesty and over-active guilt complex means that you get nothing but honest reviews from this little black duck, and I’ll always let you know if I’m talking about a product or service that I didn’t personally pay for. We cool? We cool.
