L’Oreal – ALL YOU NEED IS BLUSH

Monthly Moodboard: July 2014

It’s too hot for most activities these days, so minimal makeup, a pair of sunglasses and a dress are the only things I’m reaching for.

Lipstick + Lipgloss

My first real makeup purchase was a NARS lipgloss in Risky Business. It’s been downhill from there. Six years and 4 tubes of Risky Business later, I have declared myself the lip product queen….

Everyday Makeup Routine

My makeup routine is constantly changing. Recently, I’ve found products that have been working well together, so I figured the blogosphere needed to know. Face: Primer: I always thought primer was pointless. It wasn’t until I bought THIS set that I realized its value. The Bare Minerals primer is perfection. My makeup actually lasts longer. Foundation: Unless […]
