It takes me a while to get over Pink Eye and I like to… Read More I haven’t done a Makeup Monday in a while. I got pink eye at the beginning of the Summer and I’ve been keeping the makeup minimal to prevent contamination with my germy eyes.  I’ve also gotten pretty sick of doing my nails too. When summer got here I just needed a break… Read More I recently bought a new mascara by Tarte.
