For this week's makeup look, I take inspiration from one of my favorite gemstones. :-)
Rainbow moonstone has always been a favorite of mine. I wear it on a daily basis and always have it with me (ask my husband). Aside for the comfort in brings me, it shimmers nearly every color when you catch it in the light.
So for this week's look, I was inspired by a necklace I wore for the first time this week :-)
In this photo you can't see the rainbow that the moonstone reflects,
but it is amazing and lovely in every way :-)
INSPIRED!

♥ UDPP
♥ Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk to lid
