It may seem cheesy to have a Valentine’s Day themed wedding, but with the holiday falling on a Saturday this year, there are bound to be countless weddings with just that.  The look and feel of a Valentine’s Day wedding can be sophisticated, alluring and all-out romantic if it is done well.  Here’s my take:

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:  Vera Wang Gown as shown on Blush; Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers from Wedding Wire; Christian Louboutin Gabine satin slingbacks from Net-a-Porter.com; Purple and Pink table setting; Love Potion Valentine’s Day Party Invitation from Wedding Paper Divas.

Throw me in the makeup aisle of a drugstore or department store, and you won’t see me re-emerge for at least an hour.  I have an innate fascination with the colors, textures and effects of all different kinds of makeup, whether it be lip gloss, eye shadow, blush….even eyeliner.  So, today’s link love is going to focus on all things makeup.  Whether you are planning your wedding day face or simply want something fresh for a New Year’s Eve on the town, this post is sure to help!

• The Makeup and Beauty Blog is the perfect place to find anything from makeup reviews to application tutorials.  Plus, a dose of humor makes it a pleasure to read.
