Beauty Favorites
lipstick / mascara / foundation / primer / whitening strips I wear make up daily, but am not even close to being a make up expert by any means. I appreciate and even envy the way many girls know how to do their make up, but I keep it pretty simple and natural. Through years of […] Read more…
