Packaged in Three Custom Color’s signature sleek tubes with a wand, Light Brights High Shine Lip Glosses are outrageously bright colors with moisturizing, sheer coverage with a hearty dose of sexy gloss - perfect for hot summer days and nights! I say, it's not just for summer but anytime you want a sheer pop of colour on the lips.
Light Brights High Shine Gloss in Area and Palladium ($18.50 USD): Area is a juicy tangerine. The glosses are much sheerer than the lipstick and definitely wearable for anytime of the day. This shade would look great with a smoky or heavily lined eyes in black. The colour is soft but adds some warmth to the lips. Palladium is a hot pink and my favourite! This colour is so gorgeous on and you can actually see it. It's much sheerer than the lipstick but the colour payoff is excellent. It's the kind of pink that makes your teeth look white. The glosses are ultra moisturizing and the shine is super sexy! I'm obsessed with these glosses and swipe it on every chance I get!
Havana Dry Oil Body Glow ($38 CAD): If you want gorgeous bronzed looking skin, this bottle of sparkling bronze oil will not only enhance but highlight that summer glow. This beautiful body oil is easy to apply and melts right into the skin with no greasy residue. It is formulated with a light sunscreen and enriched with emollients and Vitamin E, leaving your skin lusciously smooth. Great for all over the body especially on your legs! A summer must-have!
Colours inspired by the beautiful land and seascapes of Tuscany, Lise Watier La Toscana Summer collection brings us hues and textures to touch all senses! La Toscana includes two eye colour palettes, Mer and Terre, Glitter Pencils, Pink Marble Blush, and Toscana Gloss Sticks.
Vert and Violet Glitter Pencils: When it comes to glitter pencils, I'm usually "take it or leave it" but mostly "leave it". I know lots of women love glitter pencils and why not? They add an element of fun to otherwise boring makeup. In my experience, the glitter particles irritate my eyes, fall off onto my face, and feel pretty rough gliding on. I was skeptical when I received Vert and Violet but I was pleasantly surprised! The glitter didn't fall off and the pencil applied smoothly with no tugging. Vert is a lovely olive green and Violet is a deep purple. If you're scared of wearing colour all over your lids, this is the perfect alternative. The glitter particles are also micro, definitely not over-the-top. Don't be afraid to glitz it up at night with these glitter pencils!
Pink Marble Blush: If you like shimmery, glowy cheeks Pink Marble Blush gives you subtle definition with a radiant finish! It is the perfect combination of pink and copper: pearly pink, deep pink, and golden pink in a marbelized spiral. These lovely shades of pink are the perfect compliment to colourful eyes.
Gloss Stick in Orange: I am a sucker for glossy lipsticks! Toscana Gloss Stick is formulated with an olive oil base so you can imagine how ultra moisturizing and creamy it is on your lips. The colour is sheer but definitely stronger than your average gloss. The shine doesn't last too long but the colour does. I love Orange, a shimmery orange-coral. It is the ultimate summer shade!
I've never been to South Beach, but I live vicariously through my precious Nars Multiple in South Beach (it's almost the same right??)! This is one product that I always have to have in my makeup bag. For a long time it sat at the bottom of my bag untouched. The Multiple is iridescent and beautiful on flawless skin, but shimmery textures can enhance problem areas. A spotlight on a red, irritated pimple? Not so pretty! Thankfully, my skin has made peace with me and I've been able to resurrect this little tube of radiance again.
