Blush Challenge – Aromaleigh Nectar; Aromaleigh DewDrop Foundation

Blush Challenge – Aromaleigh Nectar; Aromaleigh DewDrop Foundation

Today I went for a more simple look, mainly because I was running late. Another winner from Aromaleigh (why haven’t I been using these blushes all along?!). This is the perfect everyday blush.

Beautiful is a sweet, cool pink with […]
