BITB TEAM’S TOP PICKS FOR #NATIONALLIPSTICKDAY
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Lip Color’Ink – Love this long lasting natural looking color that lasts without drying out my lips. My perfect shade is L111 Flawless, a neutral beigy nude.

Most days, I wake up to the New York Times alerts on my phone telling me that something else in the world has gone horribly wrong.
