It's been a long, hot minute since I've done makeup posts and since I've acquired some new makeup, I'm going to spend this week talking about my new makeup! Are you ready? Let's goooooo!
Just as a warning, I might be posting the same photos since I'm wearing two new makeup purchases on my face, namely my blush and foundation. The focus of these photos are my lips. Muah!
