The Spring Edit

Spring has sprung all over LWSS and I’m sooo ready! I don’t ever want to hear the words “polar vortex” in my life!

Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder In Medium

I finally caved and picked up the coveted KA sculpting powder to add to the cheek stash! It took me a while to get the hang of it because it’s heavily pigmented. Things can go really wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s in new and improved packaging which If I’m going to be honest, I prefer the…
