Spring Break GRWM and Essence Cosmetics

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Ok you spring breakers- how much fun are you having?  How awesome is your adventure? Do tell because my son's school does NOT have a spring break and we are home...while our family friends are out enjoying beach time, camping, Legoland and beyond. Oy!

So today I have a fun GRWM video demo for you to get some spring break makeup or better yet, get your Coachella music festival look on that won't break the budget!

So the video features a look of the day using all of the products in this photo for an easy Coachella look! Enjoy!




Now this lil stick is the belle of the ball! Meet the Essence Cosmetics Prismatic Hololighter!

It's creamy, blends well, and I have used it under makeup, under shadows, over makeup and over shadows, then on my lips and on the bow of the mouth and anywhere that I felt like needed a little pop of shine!  Love this - and it's a must for spring break and music festivals! $5.99 at Ulta Beauty or on the essencemakeup.com website.

 I love a creme shadow and a great way to extend your long day of spring break celebrations of being out at a music festival all day, is to start with a creme and then layer a powder shadow over it as the day wears on.  From left to right the colors are: Stars and Stories, 1 second to mars, and solar explosion.  These metal inspired creme shadows are soft, long wearing, have good shimmer and wear well!  Find them on Ulta Beauty or essencemakeup.com  for $4.99

Now all long adventures need long wearing lipstick so you look good and don't have to worry about reapplying. These essence makeup lipsticks are smooth and butter on the mouth and wear for a full day through eating and talking. I did need to reapply a bit mid day to keep my lips moist, though the color was still there! These are $4.99 on the website and at Ulta Beauty.
These colors from left to right in the photo:  SO UN GREY-FUL, EVERLASTING LOVE and my fave, ETERNAL BEAUTY.

TGIF with Highlight Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick - what your spring break needs!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Friday! TGIF! Oh Friyay!

Woo hoo!  Ok, so now that you know I am ready for the weekend - here is what's on my lips for the weekend work and adventure!

I recently received some samples from Highlight Cosmetics of their new liquid lipsticks.

There are 2 neutral shades and one with a hint of highlight.  I've worn these several times through talking, working as an emcee, eating, sipping wine and again, talking.  The wear is phenomenal - so be careful in how you paint this on your mouth because where you put it - it's going to stay!

From left to right on my lips: Sandstone Cashmere, Terracotta Dream ( fave) and Desert Mirage.

The application goes on smooth and the color dries down to a matte look and then after a short bit it becomes dry on the lip and I have needed to reapply a slickery gloss over it.  Note to you - the original application of Highlight cosmetics liquid lip, stayed on, and in place when I applied my sheer gloss over the top to give my lips some moisture.


I like the lip glosses enough to say that if you like liquid lipsticks, you may like these too!

Here are some details from the Highlight Cosmetics website about the lipsticks:

The NATURAL infusion of TURMERIC, GREEN TEA, WHITE TEA, SEA KELP, and a BENEFIT PEPTIDE will give your lips a soft, moist, and smooth finish.

A high performance liquid lipstick that lies above all others. Made in USA, cruelty free, gluten free & paraben free!

These are available exclusively on the Highlight Cosmetics website and are currently on sale for $14.99 each!v
