Glowy & Bronzy Skin ( - not a very cute messy hair)

As I get ready to go to work on a very hot and humid day, I decided to add an extra GLOW.  I normally like to concentrate on my skin and leave my eyes simple since I work in a office.  If you like this look, I have listed all the products below.

July 4th Makeup

I was sick during the holiday week with Vertigo BPPV and was a complete mess.  I didn't go out or did anything on the holiday (Saturday) due to my condition, however, I was feeling a bit better on Sunday.  My husband invited me to a car show and after being locked up inside my home for almost one week.  I was thrilled to step out (even if it was around the corner).  

As usual a very simple look with bold red lips is always a good to go for me.  Please read below for a list of products and follow me on  Instagram: francesortiz80 - where I also list products that I like to use or discover.
