Sushi Blumen » Bourbon http://www.sushiblumen.com A MAC junkie's bad attempts at good makeup and more!

It’s not terrible, except for the glitter bomb that explodes on my face when I apply it…

    After about an hour or so of wear the Mulch in my outer V really faded, but it’s still a nice look. Honey Lust is a really pretty color, just wish it didn’t get glitter everywhere.
