{ First off – I am so late on posting this. I got hit really hard with a migraine on Friday morning and literally could not function until this morning. Thankfully, there’s not even a dull throb behind my eyes anymore and I’m so grateful for that, as well as my wonderful boyfriend who took me to urgent care at 9 am on Saturday morning. Anyway, I’m back in action and super excited about my summer beauty series, which launches with this post! }
If you’ve seen any of my style posts, you’ve certainly seen me in my favorite bright pink matte lipstick from Laqa & Co. While I’m not ditching it any time soon, I think it’s time for a short break for the summer.
To me, summer beauty is easy and minimal; in other words, “I woke up like this.” And unless you’re on a reality show or forgot to take off your makeup from the night before… I don’t think you’re waking up in pink lipstick. I wanted something that could keep my lips nourished during a day by the pool, but multitask by adding a fresh pop of color for a laid back night out. The pigments in this particular balm are long-wearing, and bright enough that you don’t want to apply haphazardly, but sheer enough that you really don’t need a mirror.
