All Made up...part 1

I really can't get enough make - up, I love how wearing a little bit of mascara can open up your eyes, or if your feeling pale a little bronzer and warm you right up!  Bored with your outfit, throw on some red lipstick for some drama.  It's a really inexpensive way to liven up your style.

Here are some of the top Spring'12 Make up Trends...
