Red lips and easy basics


Hi Lovelies,

 As I'm doing such a lot of running around today, I kept things simple and comfortable. Go to basics are fantastic when paired with a bright lip, it gives a laid back and very 'lived in' vibe.






  • I have used the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette, with Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner on my eyes.
  • I have used Chanel Fantasia Blush and the Sleek Contour Kit on my cheeks.
  • On my lips is Illamasqua's Drench.

I hope you've had a good day,  I know it's Monday so that's generally hard, but here's hoping!

Lea

      I have really dry hair, so it kind of comes with the territory. It's the only up side! x
