I hope everyone had a great weekend! On Friday night we went to the Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z Legends of the Summer Tour where we had an absolute blast! Beforehand though, I finally got to go to the new Parkland location of Blow & Go (have you local girls been yet??) to get my hair blown out as Jared and I were taking maternity photos first thing Saturday morning. While the concert truly was amazing, being outside in August in South Florida for almost 5 hours is near torture and my hair certainly suffered!
Despite having a semi-hormonal breakdown over my hair in the morning (preggo problems for reals), I was excited to try out a new lipstick I purchased for the photos. I wanted something that would help pop in the photos, not wash me out, and wouldn’t fade. I went for MAC’s Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Lush Life, which is a deep cool plum. Usually with darker shades I stick to more of a matte color, but I actually loved the medium-shine finish and buildable coverage it provided. Not to mention to how moisturizing it was and during the two hour photoshoot (in which I ate and drank, fyi) I never even had to reapply! Not once!!
Sometimes finding a good blush to pair such a bold lipstick with can be tricky, so I was happy to see that MAC’s Desert Rose Powder Blush looked great with the lipstick! This blush was really flattering as a matte, soft reddish-burgundy hue. Fingers crossed I like the photos as much as I like these products!
Cheers to a great week!
