Spring Makeup Tips

It’s just in time for the spring with bright greens, blues, reds, and oranges. The lippies are available in new dual retractable pencils that make it easy to define your lips and build color. The colour sticks are super vibrant and offered in a wide variety of appealing colors. You can also enhance your look with the Meow, Kitsch, and Retro hues of blush.

ColourPop Beauty Reviews

I found a few reviews on YouTube by Makeupbytreenz and Makeup.Just.For.Fun that spoke highly of ColourPop’s packaging, which kinda reminds you of corner store candies and bubble gum. They also raved about the minimalist-inspired nudes. I personally like the blush colors and the mirrored palette. The full set is available online for $110.

With names like Juice pop, Seltzer pop, Fizzy pop, Lolli pop, and Sizzle pop, this launch is sure to spark inspiration in the beauty community.

If you are into artistically inspired makeup you might also like The Crayon Case Cosmetics by female entrepreneur Reynell Steward. The African American female founder, also known as Supa Cent, launched this brand in 2017. The Big Box that literally looks like a box of Crayola crayons contains 64 vibrant shades of eyeshadow. The line is school-themed with a host of coveted products like Loose Leaf makeup wipes and The Matte Book. Use the hashtag #crayoncutie and #futurecrayoncutie on Instagram to find instant makeup inspiration.

Ralph Lauren Romance

Although there are many wonderful fragrances in the world of perfume, the classic Ralph Lauren Romance is still one of my favorites. If I were my own Valentine, I would definitely buy this for myself. It’s available as a 3.4 Fl Ounce on Amazon and is said to be the perfect fragrance for evening wear. Your Valentine can set off the perfect date night doused in the smell of romance.  It’s the perfect blend of ginger, rose, marigold, violet, musk, and oakmoss.
