Life With Lipstick On

Tropical Print A-line

I always gravitate towards classic sillouettes because I find them to be so functional in my life.  I have worn this great A-line dress both to work at a wedding with flats to a lunch out with friends with heels. I added a leather belt for some added texture and structure.

Nautical White Dress

No doubt I love all things nautical and when I spied this sweet white dress it had to be mine!  

Polka Dots and Ruffles

I love the versatility of this sweet blouse and short combo.  It can be worn so many ways.  I chose to keep it casual for brunch by tucking in the blouse adding woven flats and a panama hat.  Easy breezy!

I love the summer ease of the 4th of July. Cutoff shorts, tanned skin and summer dresses are donned as the smell of BBQ fills the air.  The day is so patriotic and so fun!  We adore summer BBQ's and I've put together some of my favorite 4th of July entertaining decor picks. You will no doubt have a great time but the guests will be wowed by your effortless hostess skills.

How To: Freshen Your Beauty Routine

How to freshen up your beauty routine
How to freshen up your beauty routine

  Summer is a great time to freshen up your beauty routine and keep makeup light.  Colors are vibrant and the heat is up!  It's time to cut out some of the heavy skin coverage and opt for glowing skin and pops of color.  I have a major girl crush on Jenna Dewan- Tatum, and feel like her makeup and hair is always on pointe!  She is young and vibrant without being to trendy.  I love this peachy makeup look of hers and have recently replicated the look myself in a quick 5 minute way.  A great tip is to find a great lip color you love and add it to your cheeks as well.  It will act as a cream blush and make your skin look dewy and gorgeous.  It will compliment your lips and make your whole makeup look really seam cohesive.

Here are some easy breezy makeup tips to get this look in 5 minutes...

1.  Smooth ">tinted moisturizer to whole face with fingers.  Make sure to blend down neck and onto ears.

2.  Apply highlighting concealer to inner corners of eyes and blend under eye with fingers.

3.  Line eyes with dark brown liner and smudge to create smokey look.  This doesn't have to be perfect.  Repeat on outer corners of lower lashes.

4.  Apply 2 coats of waterproof mascara.

5.  Apply orangey/coral lip color to cheeks and blend with fingers.

6.  Finish look with that same lip color on lips.

Top Short Hair Product Favorites

Best hair products for short hair
Best hair products for short hair

With short hair I feel like products are your saving grace.  I have a drawer full of great products and literally two inches of hair.  It's really ridiculous.  There are a handful of things that I just can't live without though.  These faves make my top list because they keep this lazy girl from having to wash her hair everyday.   Here's my routine and go to products..

Peter Lamas Chinese Herbs Energizing Shampoo and Conditioner

What I love about this little duo is that they really get my hair and clean and product free.  It's natural plant based formula promotes healthy hair and scalp as well as creates thicker and fuller hair.  It also smells like pure heaven.

It's a 10 leave in Conditioner

Easy Peasy….you spray in and comb out for super silky, tangle free hair.  I use this one on the kids too.  I don't know how they seem to get as many tangles as they do after shampooing but this get's them out super easily.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-n-1 Styling Treatment

If it's good enough for Jen Aniston it's good enough for me!   I love this product because it keeps hair looking shiny and healthy but adds a layer of heat protectant so when I hit the hair with a blow drying it's protected.  I use about a dime size before blow drying.

Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo

I find that some dry shampoos leave a dusty look on the hair and this one doesn't.  I've used this product on really dark haired clients of mine and it doesn't show up there either.  I give my hair a big blast right after blow drying.  It gives hair a bit of grit and keeps first day hair from feeling to clean.

One Love Organics Healthy Locks Dry Shampoo

This magic dust is the number one product in my routine!  It's a powder made from all natural and clean ingredients.  Whether I'm on fresh and clean hair or on day 4 hair this dust helps boost my roots for volume and keeps hair in place.  Dust powder onto roots  and massage into scalp.  Use as needed.

Redkin Wax Blast wax spray

Make sure to use this product sparingly.  A little goes a long way.  I lightly mist hair concentrating on the ends for texture.

Kenra Volumizing Hairspray

I finish off whatever style I'm going for with a light mist of hairspray.  This one from Kenra has been my favorite for years.

Everyday dress

FashionLorely MezaComment

Every girl needs the perfect "everyday dress".  You know the one. The dress that you slip on when you need to look put together but really you are bloated.  The casual but cute date night dress that you can throw heels on with.  The easy shift dress that you can run around town in while doing errands.  This sweet little belted shift dress is that for me.  Cute belted but also can be let loose when you need a little more wiggle room. Perfect! Kacee from Life with Lipstick On  Kacee from Life with Lipstick On Kacee from Life with Lipstick On Kacee from Life with Lipstick OnKacee from Life with Lipstick On

New life

Fashion, UncategorizedLorely MezaComment

I have had what feels like 20 friends have babies this past couple weeks, not to mention the debut of our newest nephew.  There is something so incredible about the new life of a baby.  The way they recognize their mommy's voice right away. The way they adapt to the world within seconds of their arrival is just amazing. I marvel at how the woman's body was designed to create such perfect little angels.  How the features of the baby grow and develop into little people.  Such a miracle.

Bucket List

FashionLorely MezaComment

We rounding out the school year for our little ones and I am eagerly planning our summer "bucket list" .  We have our typical beach days, blueberry picking, slip n slide days all planned but are working on something that we have never done before.  Beach camping?  Over seas trip?  I am so excited to have the girls getting to the age where we can really start adventuring.

Happy Place

8_-ZVrB_G36MQi2-0gG2epJtxkBmUzIqUAOfCchuokc As I get older I am paying close attention to what makes my heart the happiest and what my true passions are.  What the things that I would choose to do if I had a free day .  What are the things that I do to decompress.  It's interesting to me that I have very little clue what those things are.  I know the things I enjoy but are they really the stress free choices I'm after.  With almost one year into my 30's I am on a mission to try new things in search of that go to list of happy, completely stress free things.
