Smell the Roses





My husband surprised me with roses about a week ago, and now they are starting to wilt. So I plucked a few petals off and threw them in the tub with me last night. Need less to say, I was inspired by the vivid reds and purples of the dying flower. So this is a look I did inspired by a red rose petal.
