Get Your Pretty On: National Lipstick Day

Yup, I’m totally one of those women who feels naked and just a bit wrong if I leave the house without lipstick.  Last week, by a series of unfortunate events I forgot all my make-up at home when I went to the gym.  After showering, I reached into my gym bag and there wasn’t even a lip balm to be found.  I was slightly horrified but then went about my day.  I survived but I kept touching my lips throughout the day missing the feel of a silky gloss, moisturizing balm or pigment-saturated pop of color.

It’s summer and I’ve been busy with the life and I think I might have figured out why I’ve been so tired. You know, aside from being a working mom of three.

I failed to realize that on top of everything else going on and you know, SUMMER! I’m doing about three house projects at once.  Fixing walls, decks, DIY-ing a whole set of bedroom furniture and painting rooms and things all over our house.  Yeah, that would make me tired.  I need to give myself a break.

Today National Lipstick Day.  I kind of dig it.

I’ve been wearing my new Mally Beauty High-Shine Liquid Lipstick Pens no matter what I’ve been doing this summer and I’m addicted to the colors ( over 30 amazing shades!) and the high gloss shine.  It’s a primer, gloss and lipstick in one pen!  It is creamy and not sticky and you can use a little or a lot.  It’s awesome!  I have a trio of colors but the Mauvelous one is my favorite.

 

Get your pretty on!
