Red Lipstick

August 19, 2014

I think almost every girl has one good tube of red lipstick.. For me, red lipstick is all about confidence and having fun. It's pretty much a secret weapon to instantly take you from a blah kind of day to feeling amazing kind of day. I've been wearing red lipstick for years and wanted to share my current favorites with you...just a little girl talk.

1. Sephora Rouge // i love this one because it's a darker red which is nice compared to all my other bright reds. this is actually the color I wore on my wedding day so it has a special place in my heart. every time i put it on, it reminds me of all the good memories from that day.

2. MAC Ruby Woo // this is my favorite red. like ever. and to me it smells like cake batter...yum, so yeah I just checked all the other lip colors and this one smells the best lol. anyhow this one is more of a matte lipstick and is really long lasting on me...love it.

3. Urban Decay F-Bomb // i was completely surprised when chris bought me this lipstick as a gift. He's not crazy about red, but he knows i love it, so I was really happy when he gave it to me. this lipstick goes on like butter and is super moisturizing...i think chris did a good job on getting this one.

4. Maybelline Red Revival // this one is a long time favorite...i wore this one all the time in between the time i lost my ruby woo and bought a new one. when i run out, i always go back for more...this is actually my third tube.

Are you wearing your favorite red today? Do share what your favorites are.

A Month of Florals // Rose Straw Topper + Printable

August 18, 2014

With summer in full swing, the last few days have been feeling outrageously hot. So cooling up on water has been an all day everyday kind of thing. Lemon and strawberry infused water has been a recent favorite to keep hydrated. I drew out these rose straw toppers to make my water just a bit more fun because that's how I do things around here.

Life Lately

August 15, 2014

Had this yummy thing right here in celebration of National Ice Cream Sandwich Day! And because everything is better with sprinkles, you know I added some.

2. On a girls shopping trip.

3. Pretty things I've been wearing...that perfume is my favorite.

4. I asked Chris for this Naked 2 pallette for Christmas...trying to use it more often.

5. My usual at Starbucks is a unsweetened green tea. I hadn't had a frap in what feels like 2 years and decided to give the green tea one a try...not bad.
