Hi, girls, and Happy Valentine!
I admit that I'm not much of a Valentine's Day lover, I mean it's nice to get flowers and chocolate from my boyfriend and maybe even a cheesy oversized pillow heart, but it's not something we put too much thought into it. Maybe because it's a "borrowed" holiday, my Romanian readers know that in Romania we actually celebrate love on 24th February and it's called Dragobete. But it's not as fancy as Valentine's Day now, isn't it?
Anyhow I debated with myself if I should do my first FOTD specially for 14th February as I'm actually thinking to step up from my comfort zone and actually show you now and than some of my attempts in the makeup section. Bu then again I thought I'm not the kind of girl that goes all pinky just because it's the day of love, I mean I like pinks and wear them a lot in my makeup look but I just don't really get why we should all go pink and purple and mauve for Valentine's Day. And god knows I've seen tons of tutorials these days on that theme. So I WILL be doing a look, my own version, but it will be for 24th, I just feel the need to give that day a little more importance.
To cut my rambling short, for today I thought to make a short list for makeup products (drugstore wise) that I know many of you would want to wear for a romantic date, being it even for Valentine's Day.
