In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m linking up with Jo @ Jo My Gosh and Jessica @ MBB for their Lima. Oscar. Victor. Echo. military love link-up.

Gold star if you get the show reference. 1. BB cream – tinted moisturizer I wear under makeup. 2. Moisturizer with SPF – my non-makeup choice 3. Night cream – my post-evening face wash cream 4. Jergen’s body lotion –… View Post »
