my new favorite lipstick


This past weekend I traveled to Marietta, Georgia, to visit my mom and (of course) we went shopping.  Last month, my husband's and my home was broken into and they burglars stole quite a bit of stuff - including ALL of my makeup.  Uh huh.  You heard that right.  THEY STOLE MY MAKEUP.

So, in replenishing my stash of makeup I needed some lipstick.  This led me to meeting my favorite lipstick in the world.  It's true love, people.




The lipstick is Trish McEvoy in "Precious Pink."  It's the perfect hue and it goes on so smooth.  Growing up I was always a chapstick kind of girl, mostly because the lipsticks and lip glosses I tried always seemed too gooey or too dry.  This stuff is perfect.  It glides on soft and smooth and isn't too thick.  At $28 a pop it isn't cheap, but it's definitely worth the extra bucks.  I'm dying to try the other colors!



Have y'all tried Trish McEvoy's lipstick yet?  Or any of her other products?

Pretty in Pink


The thought of having pink in the home used to instantly remind me of that awful baby pink in little girls' rooms or the rose pink that was trending during the mid-1990s.  Well, not anymore people.  We're now seeing these beautiful tones of pink in homes in a way that doesn't make our husbands grumble (as loudly).

I absolutely love the look of the punch of pink in these chairs' upholstery and the book on the vignette in the first photo!  They are both matched with these lovely "manlier" tones that seem to balance out the girlish pink.



I've also seen quite a bit of pink sofas lately - a look which I am loving.  As much as I would love one in our home, I don't think I could convince the husband.  But I'll keep it on the back burner for a rainy day...




If you don't want to take the plunge and do a piece of furniture, you can always incorporate pink into pillows or small pieces of furniture.  It's a wonderful way to add color in small doses!




Since we've started moving in to our new rental house (have I mentioned that?) I have decorating on the brain.  Adding pink elements into our home is definitely happening - sorry honey :)

Would y'all add pink into your home?  Do you already have it?  I'd love to see how you guys have decorated with pink!
