Blushing

I go through phases with make up, like I'm sure every girl does. This summer I was loving the bright pink/coral lip, with minimal eye makeup. I've stocked up in so many bright shades, that I noticed this morning that pigments of coral and fuchsia are my only options lately. Obviously, I'll need to fix that and go shopping this weekend.
Not that I've ignored my cheeks - but while cleaning out my vanity, I realized I only had two lonely blushes. Two, that were basically the same shade of pink. You can't have 15 lipsticks and only 2 blushes. I needed to fix that problem, too.
The advantage of people knowing you love make up, is you get little samples and products of things that don't work for them or their skin tone. Then you realize you're in love with the product or color, and you go and buy something similar because you need it in your life immediately.
At least I do.
Enter the three blushes I've been using each day; whether I mix a little of both or use alone, I'm so glad that I've discovered them and you should too.

What I Love About Sunday

This weekend held some mixed emotions for me - and I'm sure you felt it, too.
Labor Day weekend - love the 3 day weekend. Love that it's still warm out. And we realize it's now September.
September is kind of like the best of both seasons. It's still kind of warm, but you know within weeks the leaves will start to fall and the temperature will drop.
It's like Bath & Body Works knew that there would be mixed feelings about summer leaving us, so they offered that sale we all know and love on their delicious candles. The signature fall scents - to make this weekend even better.
Don't get me wrong; I love love love summer. But it's something about pumpkins, cider, over sized sweaters, leggings and boots that takes me over and I could care less about summer being over. See ya, summer. We had a nice run.

What I Love About Sunday

this past week, I was in Cincinnati for work and pretty busy after. the summer is coming to an end and it feels like we're all trying to squeeze as much in as we can! Fall is starting to look pretty nice (I know, I said it).

Just as we thought summer was coming to a close (and it technically is), the weather surprised us and warmed back up to 80 degrees this weekend. Buffalo will do that to you.
