Favorite Lipsticks for Summer

Can you believe that there was a time when I HATED to wear lipstick? Oh my goodness, what was wrong with me?! I am so glad my opinions have changed! I firmly believe that lipstick completes any outfit. My mother has been telling me this for years, and I definitely believe it. I put together my list of favorite lipsticks from pinks, nudes, and reds. I threw in some miscellaneous shades as well. *Just a side note, I think these shades are just as acceptable to wear in the fall and winter as well.*

The Nudes
I am not a nude lipstick fan but it is good to have at least some nude or my lips but better colors in your arsenal. Here are my favorites!

*L'Oreal Fairest Nude is probably about as nude as I will go. I pair this with a smokey eye, and some gloss over top.

*Rimmel 104 is a my lips but better shade that I am loving! It has a satin finish, and looks great with whatever I wear.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey is another MLBB shade that I wear when I want my lipstick to stay put. I'm a huge fan of these!

The Pinks/Berries
I love a pink lip. My face looks brighter when I wear a pink lip. If you are an adventurous lipstick person and haven't tried a pink lip, do it!

*Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick is a great pink lip that stays put! It fades beautifully.

*Revlon Color Burst lipstick in Fuchsia is a blue toned pink that just screams summer! With a tan, this color looks amazing!

*Wet N Wild Cherry Picking is a gorgeous berry shade. It's matte so it has incredible staying power. You can see a full review here!

The Reds
Red lipstick is so classy. It can make your teeth look whiter, and just make an outfit go from drab to fab!

*Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic is a tomato red that is great for those who are new to the red lip trend. It also fades beautifully, and lasts.


*Revlon Color Burst in Crimson is a cross between a crimson red and a brick red. Application is a breeze.

Mirenesse Glossy Kiss lipstick in Flirty Kiss is just a great true red color. You can check out my full review here!



Other colors
Everyone needs to experiment every once in a while! Here are some other colors I love!

If you want to wear the coral lip, Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm stain in Rendezvous is a great one! It has just enough pink in it to make it coral and not orange.

Model Co lip gloss in Berry Pink is a great light pink gloss. I'm a huge fan of the formula. It is not sticky at all and feels great on the lips.

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
