My bag is packed and I’m ready for a road trip! The husband and I are heading up to NYC for the 4th to visit his family for the weekend. I always have a lot of fun on our weekend visits to NYC. That city is full of so much, you never feel like there is enough time.

When I think about the 4th I think of red, white and blue, fireworks, popsicles and BBQs. That of course made me think I have to do a fabulouness that would go well with any of your 4th of July festivities. That’s why I chose Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain for my fabulousness.

Summertime makeup can be a bit tricky. You want things that last, won’t disappear if you start to sweat and that you don’t have to think about when you’re outside having fun. I love lip stains but so many of them can be drying. What I love about Just Bitten is that they add a tube of balm at the end so that you don’t have to worry about it drying out your lips and it adds a great bit of shine. I picked the color Crave, a dark berry/purple shade that’s very juicy on the lips but for the 4th I’d suggest Flame – a red! I found this at my local Walgreens and I’m sure you can find it at any major drugstore chain in your neck of the woods.

Yes, I’m one of those cheesy people who has no problem wearing red, white and blue on the 4th. I show a little spirit! So I’ve tossed Just Bitten into my makeup bag, the car is gassed up and I’m ready to go.

I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th. I’ll be taking Monday off so I’ll see you back here on Tuesday!
