I love testing out new skincare, but I have to admit, the green beauty industry needs more makeup.  So, I’m always excited for the latest releases and hope that the colors will work for me.  See what I’m loving this Summer...  

ILIA BEAUTY

JUMP by Ilia Beauty is a tinted lip conditioner.  I definitely prefer these over the lipsticks, which can be a bit too matte for me.  I like my lips to look hydrated and fresh.  JUMP is a true magenta that can be built upon.  I think that it can be worn to give just a tint by gently pressing a bit of it on the lips.  I’ve been wearing about two light coats of it and don’t find it too dark.  However, if you want it dark, I say layer it on, sister.  I’m definitely loving this. $26

KURE BAZAAR

Fuji by Kure Bazaar is a super fun lavender for summer.  Light and pretty, I find that it wears really well.  I always bring my own polish, remover and creams when I go in for a manicure and pedicure.  Want to keep your polishes longer?  Every night add a cuticle salve or heel balm all over your nails and toes.  $16

VAPOUR ORGANIC BEAUTY

Crush Multi-Use Blush has been a favorite of mine for several years now.  I love the dewy finish it leaves on my skin and how soft it is.  Easy to apply, you can get a really pretty pale pink cheek if you want or more of  bold if you continue to layer.  These can also be used on the lips and eyes, but I find this color is best on my cheeks.  $36

W3LL PEOPLE

Finally, I got my hands on W3ll People’s new Expressionist Bio Extreme Mascara!  What do I love about it?  Well, it dries very quickly, I love the brush as it’s super easy to work; I can get a soft, pretty eye if I only put on one coat and I can get more volume if I add another and play around with it.  I’ve only been applying it on the top lashes as that’s where I like my volume.  I’ve got a softer mascara for my lower lashes (yeah, high maintenance over here). 100% cruelty-free, petroleum-free, paraben free, gluten-free, coal tar-free, aluminum-free, fiber-free, and clump-free!  $23.50
