I’m going to try to post my FOTDs for an entire week…  So here’s Monday!  I work by myself on Monday, so I don’t need anything too perfect or overdone – however, that doesn’t mean I’m just leaving with mascara on!

I think I sort of “rediscovered” pink blush today.  I’m always worried that using pink on my cheeks will enhance the natural redness in my skin, so I usually opt for peachy colors when it comes to blush.  However, I decided it was time to finally pull out my Crushed Bougainvillea CCB and give it a try.  I am SO happy with the results!  The color seemed much more glowy and “from within” than some of the normal choices I opt for.  This may be the start of something new for me.

• Crushed Bougainvillea CCB  - I tapped this in with my finger and loved the effect – very subtle and not too-perfect

I think wearing as much makeup as I do on a daily basis has given me a bit of a complex. I must have asked my boyfriend three times before I left the house this morning if he was sure I looked OK! I was going for a natural look… I don’t think I’ve worn tinted moisturizer to the office in years. After looking at the pictures, I’m actually pretty pleased with the result, and it really is quite comfortable, so it may be something I’ll consider doing more often for the warmer months. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics!
