Pastel Kiss

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.

    I smacked my forehead when I read your idea about using orange lipstick with a bit of concealer. GAME CHANGING.
    Keep smiling, Em. You’re a source of inspiration for all of us.

    Love.

    I commented last time you posted this bag, it should be disclosed as c/o and you haven’t been doing so. This seems dishonest.

      Hi there, I actually stated this bag was a gift the first time I showed it on my blog, in this post from February 3 (http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/five-things-61/). My policy for gifted items is to disclose that detail when an item appears for the first time, but don’t feel the need to restate that every time it’s featured.
