“Spring Fling—Try Something New!”

As soon as the weather gets warmer and the sun starts to smile on us all again, I instantaneously have the desire to roll up my jeans, break out the flip-flops, and add bursts of bright color to my look. And what better way to do that than with some fun makeup!

I’ve recently tried out a vegan and cruelty-free line of cosmetics called Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and, pardon the pun, I’m officially “obsessed.” In particular, I love their Lip Tars—they come in a wide variety of exciting colors but, what’s better, they are COMPLETELY innovative! How, you ask? Well, they go on like a lip gloss, but are matte and have the opacity/staying power of a lipstick (without drying out your pout!). Normally, I’m a smoky-eye-and-neutral-lip kinda girl, but my spring fling with Lip Tars is turning that upside down. Now I’m thinking, the brighter the lip color, the better—and my eyeshadows are getting some well-deserved vacay time. ;)

So, what’s the best part of spring flings? You can have more than one. ;) My other makeup flirtation happened during a recent trip to Sephora. I was browsing around and stumbled up these AMAZING portable mineral skin powders and bronzers from Peter Thomas Roth...

They are super easy to throw in your purse, they control the oiliness that naturally happens to most of us once the weather gets warmer, AND, they have SPF in them (hooray for healthy skin!). I’ve been using them now for a few weeks and they have not disappointed once—may just have to turn this into a long-term relationship after all. ;) Would love to know what makeup products you’re addicted to during the warmer months, so please feel free to share in the Comments section below.

Enjoy the weekend, catch some rays, and perhaps even have a spring fling of your own.

xo always,
