Matte lips in summer: a do or a don’t?
For me, they’re an ALL-CAPS DO! — but if you’d asked me a couple years ago, I probably would have said “don’t,” because I’m also a sucker for the classics, which for summer normally indicates glossy lips, dewy skin, and — gah! all of THE BRIGHTS!

My heart swells with makeup happiness when I think about it…
But now with so lots of matte lipsticks on the lip scene, I can’t help myself. I love the way they look in person and in pics, especially when a brand gives the matte treatment to classic summer colors like coral.
As far as I’m concerned, summer time matte lips are trending up, but I’m a lot more likely to wear a matte lip in a standard summer time color, like a bright red or a poppy, or coral, hot pink or fuchsia than a darker, deeper berry, plum or wine. I’ll save those darker shades for fall.
What do you think about wearing matte lips in summer? Are they a do or a don’t for you?

P.S. Goooood morning! The sun is out, the birds are singing, and I’ve got kitten videos on repeat ideal now.
I found a treasure trove of kitty videos on the foster_kittens instagram page, and I may or may not have just spent the past 10 minutes enjoying little tabby kitties yawn, stretch and play.
The gal who runs the page fosters kittens and soon-to-be mommy cats, and then articles pics and videos of the kitties as they grow up and go out for adoption.

IT IS SO CUTE! I can’t even take it…
The current mama cat in residence is Maggie, a half-Siamese appeal who just gave birth to four charming kittens, also known as “The Maglets.”
Start with this video of two of The Maglets being afraid by a finger (see how the one on the left shakes?). Don’t be shocked if you right away melt into a warm pile of lovey-dovey goo.
