Sugar Vanity

I recently ordered a singed organza rose from Sugar Vanity on Etsy. When it arrived I was like a little girl, squealing with excitement.  Basically it’s multiple pieces of organza layered together with a few gorgeous beads in the center and then burned (singed) so they crinkle up.

With Liberty and Justice…

My look today was a tad more complicated then I thought it was going to be for looking so simple. On my face I used the Smashbox Tinted Moisturizer with the ELF Shade stick as a highlight.  I didn’t bother with blush, I usually don’t these days.  I did conceal a few weird spots I’ve […]
