Cheap-O Fridays: Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion
More Here...
I am a lotion junkie, and my day is simply not complete if I haven't slathered myself from head to toe in lotion! Just like having a cup of coffee first thing in the morning is an absolute necessity, so is applying a healthy dose of lotion right after getting out of the shower. I somehow just don't function quite up to speed without either of these two little routines

Sigma Brushes Are My Eye Makeup Essentials
