Pastel Kiss

March 27th, 2012

Ralph Lauren Sunglasses, Brooks Brothers Blouse, Coach Trench, Vintage Pleated  Skirt, Elizabeth and James Heels, Mulberry Bag

For several months, I’ve been searching for the perfect pastel-meets-coral lipstick after seeing it on nearly every J.Crew model. The shade somehow strikes that balance between being punchy but sweet, and the result is a whisper soft color that just embodies spring. This past weekend I decided to make my own – with a blend of Revlon’s ‘Orange Flip’ lipstick and a bit of concealer that added  just the right amount of creaminess to an otherwise fluorescent orange.

    We all love a good tortoiseshell frame, but let’s forget that for a second and talk about that NEON PINK BAG!

    I can’t tell you the years that I have fawned over the perfect lip shades that the J.Crew girls sport. I have found close competitors for the pink pastel NARS Roman Holiday, and for the poppy coral color they use YSL Rouge Pour Couture.

    try revlon lipstick in blase apricot – it’s in the old school green tube. It’s a more subdued/pinky version of orange flip that layers well.
