balm: fresh sugar honey tinted lip treatment spf 15, $22.50

bag: mac surf baby! bag, $28 (in mac stores only)

june’s balm is sun-kissed sun protection from the beauties at fresh. their tinted sugar lip treatments have been a hit on this here blog before, but it’s their new honey shade that’s got me swooning. this formula is more creamy and opaque than its sheer sisters – rose and plum. it’s moisturizing and the warmest yummiest nude shade i’ve seen. it’s my go-to summer lippie thanks to the addition of spf 15 and i’d be lost without it!

such a bronzey balm needed a fun summery bag to call home and i’m absolutely loving the one from mac’s surf baby! collection. the waxed canvas showcases coral red, yellow, and gray stripes that look hand painted. it comes in two sizes (this is the smaller) and is available only in mac stores.

kind of makes you want to hang ten?

bag: anya hindmarch lips and eyes cosmetic case, $90

balm: lipstock cream lip conditioner, $15

i just adore anya hindmarch. her pouches are so cheeky and adorable, how could you not want to stash your treasures inside?

and if you’re looking for a new treasure to stash, perhaps a chapstick upgrade, look no further!

lipstock is a little luxury that i can’t get enough of. the short list of all natural ingredients creates a super moisturizing formula. i’ve been putting it on nightly before bed and my lips are loving it.

got a bag or balm you’re crazy for this month? lemme know!

bag: rennes five inch small wallet pouch in liac, $40

balm: topshop balm in sheen, $8

you don’t need me to tell you that pouches are all the rage, so why not toss your pretties into this little lovely? it’s made of the softest distressed lambskin, complete with a gorgeous brass zipper and adorable lining. it also comes in bunches of other beautiful colors. the topshop balm is the perfect thing to tuck inside – it’s glossy, moisturizing, and sheen is the best your-lips-but-better blush hue. it goes on smooth for a soft, shiny finish and, as a bonus, it kind of tastes like watermelon jolly ranchers. i’ve been wearing this daily and i think it’s safe to say that i will definitely finish the pot i’ve got and repurchase.

what do you think of this combo? looks like it belongs in my kind of easter basket!

bag: mountain peaks cosmetic bag in grey, $38

balm: phoenix botanicals organic lip balm (in eco tube), $6

my day job (that would be the one that pays the bills) is keeping me busier than i’d like this week and it is exhausting all of my energies, leaving little for my favorite past time – posting pretty for you. in other news, i’m thinking about a new monthly post that includes two of my most favorite things – a cosmetic bag and  a lip balm, different every time. let me know how you feel about this first pairing and if you like the concept. then perhaps i’ll do it again in april then may then june, you get the idea : )

hope you lovelies are having one fantastic tuesday!
