Look of the Day ~ Five August Faces

Posted by Tamara in FotD, looks | 2 comments

Despite the inactivity here, I have actually been experimenting with new looks this month. It’s just a matter of getting the photos uploaded and organized with the list of items used. I have moments of laziness, what can I say. But, here are five different looks that I figured I may as well just showcase in one post.

Enjoy.

Chili Experiment

Yesterday I stepped very much outside of my comfort zone and used Chili lipstick (brick red) for the very first time.
