daily ritual

i love make up.
ever since i was in high school and wore ENTIRELY too much.
(mom, dad...hello? olivia, don’t get any ideas)
i don’t have much time (or money) anymore...
but wandering through sephora...browsing at nordstrom...
trying to collect all the products in instyle’s makeup issue...much girly fun.
and maybe now is the time to mention... nars...dolce vita lipstick?
i heart you.

(sorry for the blurry photo...but i just hate the flash.
and didn’t have enough patience for a tripod.)
