Flashback to 2012, when we were a team of 50 oddballs coming together to create a portal that would wow beauty lovers. Who would know that four years would stream by like a Vimeo video and we would be celebrating our fourth birthday among you pretty folks? Without getting overtly teary on our Big-Bang arrival, we thought of creating a memoir that depicts the best of the past. Right from our very embryonic birth up until now, we have conjured up some our favourites from far and wide. And this time, its so much more than just unicorns. *winks*
