Minimalist Glamour

Spring is here!! and it's feeling like SUMMER, which is even better. I got my first half-arm sun burn the other day while spending an afternoon on a patio with a few cold beverages. I wasn't even mad.

Now that "summer" is finally here, haha... I'm so pushing it right? I really start enjoying subtle makeup more and more. Eventually I just get to the point of a BB cream, a light fill in on the brows, waterproof mascara and a lip chap EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. but I haven't gone into complete beach bum mode yet. Right now for me it's perfecting the skin and giving it a beautiful glow that looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. I pair that with a bold lippy and something soft on the eyes and I'm like yes, this is the most beautiful look EVER. So it's safe to say when my girlfriend arrived from Vancouver, I wanted to attack her beautiful face with just that look! Here's a majority of what we used...

people that challenge you to rise higher,

people that make you better.

Don't waste your valuable time with people

that are not adding to your growth.

Your destiny is too important."
