Bright Green Look + Gone Fishin’ 2

Posted on April 13, 2010 | 1 Comment
I went fishing for the second time ever on Saturday, and this is the makeup I wore. As you've seen in the pictures I've posted from my first time fishing, I like to wear colorful makeup to make this sport more feminine. ;) I also switched to eyeglasses towards the end of the fishing trip, so here's how the bright green looked with eyeglasses vs. without.
