I have always liked the color pink.

For certain skin tones, it can be so fresh and youthful to wear pink.  I know it is associated with ‘pink for girls and blue for boys’ but both colors are beautiful and I think we have moved on from these gender associations-  thank goodness!

The first thing I love this month is a pink button down shirt in a linen blend from the grocery store.

I bought this shirt in XL – but I would buy it bigger in a 1x or 2x if I bought another one. It needs to be oversized in my opinion. That way you can wear it open over a tank top or tied at the waist like I have it below. I’m at the Coutts Center in Nanton in this picture.

The next thing is pink lipstick. Lipstick is a thing again – maybe?

I won’t be completely getting rid of my mask right away but since I am double vaxed now, I like to go mask free outdoors. Hmmm, that sounds vaguely  sexual somehow – haha.

Anyway…

I have a range of options here because, although I like bubble gum pink, not everyone does.

This lipstick is long lasting but slightly drying so I wear it with a balm overtop or underneath.

This lip balm goes overtop nicely, or it is lovely on its own as a subtle pink tint with a bit of sunscreen. The lips need to be protected from the sun! It is kind of expensive but it does feel amazing.

This liquid lipstick is a beautiful, a more muted pink that can be found lots of places and is fairly long lasting.

The last thing is this pink blush. Another makeup item- I know not everyone wears make-up and I totally get that!

I think you look great when you are true to yourself and your personal style.

But if you do wear makeup, a bit of pink blush can be so pretty. It really brightens up my face when i put it on. It looks highly pigmented  in the pan (and it is) but if you just put a little on and blend it, it is so gorgeous.

What about you? do you like pink? let me know below.
