Fresh Face Make-up Inspiration

What can I say? I am totally in love with the clean look these days – especially with le bebe traipsing around the house in his adorable elmo diapers. It’s a little tricky to find the time to glamorize ourselves, and these 8 products are the sure way to feel the best you can feel, even if you have a day-old pony tail and lucy jazzercise pants on.

Agreed that they’re not drugstore prices, but my motto is that my face is the first thing I, my babes, my husband and everyone else sees throughout the day… so I might as well invest in keeping it happy, healthy and looking good.

Enjoy!

xoxo,
Lora

Make-up Inspiration Board: Poppy Lips

I am LOVING Poppy Lips right now! It’s all the rage for Spring 2012. It looks so fresh and bright!

You can pair poppy lips with clean black eye liner, a cool eye basics with full mascara and a warm blush… all for a FABULOUSLY clean and perfectly sweet.
