One of my favorite downtown Lee’s Summit shops! I love the clothing and jewelry as well as their natural makeup and skin care products. Dara and her staff are always friendly and helpful, offering suggestions when I can’t make up mind which outfit or pair of earrings to buy!

I've been buying my makeup from Dara for 21 years now!! I absolutely love that she helps match the right color, teaches me how to apply it, and that the makeup is CLEAN. It is also very concentrated and lasts a long time. I've referred more people to her than I can count! The fact that you're not wasting money on makeup that doesn't end up matching your skin is reason to try it. And there are far more expensive options that have horrible ingredients. Give this a try - you won't regret it!
