favor-”ette”: julia’s lip tint
February 27th, 2013
Yes, it’s ANOTHER must-have lip product for you to try… I was thinking about this – why so many lip posts?? Well, because other than mascara (which I will do a separate piece on soon!) it’s the only make-up I wear regularly. It’s also the most frustrating to shop for. Between finding the right color, [...]

So remember when I told you that I used to be a make-up artist? I’m working on a post about my favorite make-up tips and tricks, but this latest find was too good to keep till then.
