Red, White, & Bloom

Hi Yall!

Thanks for joining me as I attempt to do the whole 'blogger' side of fashion & beauty! I will admit, I'm not the best at putting my words together, so bear with me here! :) My blogs will be mainly step by step on how to achieve the looks I have created. The best part: I will show you how to create each look with drugstore products! How awesome huh? I will show pros and cons of products, high end and drugstore. In time I will start providing videos, right now my videos are crap, so once I figure out how to achieve that amazing lighting, for now blogging will have to do :)

My first look I will was for 4th of July, yes I know it's way past the 4th, but it's a look that can be used for any event! It is a natural look with a pop!

Enjoy!
