Verecund

0 comments
Verecund, Verecunda, what does that mean? It’s a fancy way of saying shy, modest, or modest. I often feel Verecunda, especially after preparing to face the day in about 10 seconds while a toddler is demanding biscuits for breakfast, lunch and was not packed, and time is running out. . That’s why I love this product – even if the morning rush and lack of makeup lets you feel a little Verecunda, a coat you liven up fast: It’s just the right blend of subtle and soft, this may be why they call it “shy.” Find out what it is and where to get after the jump …

This is personal fave makeup artist Paula Dorf Lip Slides Lip Gloss Shy in and you can take a bit in beauty shops or on Amazon here. If only it could make a Pb & j too.
