Big Beauty Tuesday: How to Turn Lemons Into (Pink) Lemonade
Fun fact: I hate pink lipstick. Like, even during that phase in childhood when, for the sake of peer pressure and a blind love of all things Barbie, I tried to convince myself that pink could be my favorite color (spoiler alert: it’s not), I could never get onboard with a pink lip—and it was…
