Its summer time and that means simply sunny Makeup !
Summer time calls for fun sun dresses and flip- flops . Its the time of the year that the effortless look is in total trend. The same goes for the makeup look where we make it look effortless with a bright coral lip or cheek.
During summer I tend to wear not much makeup at all other then a nice coral lip and cheek to warm up my face. But when the occasion calls I like to create that sun effortless look . One collection that has been my go -too Summer look has been with Brija Cosmetics Glamour to Go collection .
The collection feature five items that include 2-eyeshadows , 1 -blush, 1-lipgloss, 1-cream eyeshadow . The whole collection cost $30.50 for all five pieces. Each item can also be bought individual too. Brija cosmetics are vegan & natural are also made with simple ingredients . In this post I will feature the the blush , 2- eyeshadow & her New lip jelly (shown in Photo above ) .
Now lets take a look at each individual product 🙂 and some swatches .
Yvonne Jelly Balm
This jelly lip balm give a sheer semi-light purple color to the lips. Leaves a light shine on the lips just like a lip balm. In goes on smooth just like a lip balm . It also has good last power . The color is build-able to a sheer to a dark shade shaded lip color. This lip balm is great to wear under or over a lipstick that tends to be more dry. Also works great over a lip liner too. The color may scare you in the tube but fear not as it gives a nice sheer color.
Swatches of Jelly balm color
As you can see in the swatch photo-below the color is very wearable for a everyday lip color, without looking weird or to bright. I have pale skin with yellow tones but my lips are very pink -red color . So this actually makes my natural lip color just look better. The color is a purple with some pink under tones that give the purple color a good balance. (below your find a closer look of swatches )
Love the product for how easy it is to apply right off the tube. You don’t need a mirror to put this on. So it makes it a great go-to product for those go-to-go days as one is out in the beach or touring around in a city.
Bright Eyed + Bushy Tailed eyeshadow
This product is not only a eyeshadow but also a eyeliner . Which is great as you have two products in one & it means one product less to add to your vacation makeup bag. The color is a deep dark brown with purple tones to it . It makes a great color to make a smokey eye look. And a great staple to have to make many looks too.
Swatches of Bright eyed + Bushy tailed eyeshadow
In the swatch you can see that its a dark brown with some blue sparkly . The sparkly are very little and actually add some edge to the color. This color is very pretty over pinks and it look great on its own when blend out . In terms of a eyeliner I love as it is not so over powering like black is and this one is more wearable for a day & night look.
Allure eyeshadow
Allure eyeshadow is what I call a basic eye color must have because its a cream color that works for any look . It’s a great warm pink cream color that works well for the inner corner’s of the eye & makes a great eyeshadow blending color . To create a every day smoky eye I would just put Bright eye +bushy tailed blend it well all over the eye and blend it out with allure to soften the dark color.
Swatch of Allure eyeshadow
The color is a pretty cream with pink undertones . As you can see in the photo below the color kind off blend it with my pale skin( sorry for that :(, tried to make the color stand out ) .
Perk Blush
Perk blush is a very pretty coral pink blush. This color is also lip save , which means that you can mix it with a lip balm and make it as a lip color too :). This color is beautifully to wear as it give the face a warm tone with out looking like a clown . It just brighten the whole look.
