Being a huge fan of Ilia Beauty, I have been waiting to try their brand new lipstick crayons long before they were available for purchase. Of the six shades available, my first two picks were Dress You Up and Call Me.

Be a Femme Fatale with Ilia Beauty

When I finally decided to embrace the bold lip trend, the first lipstick that came to my mind was (of course) Ilia Beauty in Femme Fatale. A gorgeous brick red, which seemed to require just a little less bravery than its brighter sibling, Ilia Beauty in Wild Child.

                                  

Makeup Highlights 2012 TAG

I was recently tagged to write my Makeup Highlights for 2012 by Audreiana @trubeaubynature. I was afraid I would not be able to write this post before February, but thankfully, here it is!

Review: Hippie Tested, Diva Approved: W3LL PEOPLE ColorBalm

The ColorBalm is the first product I tried from W3LL PEOPLE. "Advanced performance, premium 100% natural/organic ingredients, and sustainability" are the brand's three core principles (as listed on their website.) Everything they sent me, from the packaging to the notes and the samples, was absolutely adorable, (and eco-friendly), and made me fall in love with them even before I tried the product.

My New Bronzer: Ilia Beauty Illuminator in Sway

I promised I would not come back with another lippie review, so I picked the Ilia Beauty Illuminator in the shade Sway. During the holidays I began to play with it to see how I could use it. I only found one other review on the web by the lovely london makeup girl and I thought it would be nice to add my thoughts, and share a few more  photos and swatches, in case you had your eye on this product. This is a really interesting product that can be used in different ways, as long as the shade is right for your skin tone. Although it is called an illuminator, it can also fit in the bronzer/cream eyeshadow category.

Another Favorite: Ilia Beauty Nobody's Baby

Nobody's Baby is the second Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner that I have tried. If you read my previous review of the Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner, you already know how much I enjoy their formula and love the other shade I own (it is still my very favorite!).

Nobody's Baby is described as "the perfect, sheer nude suited for any occasion", and I completely agree with this description. Nobody's Baby deposits just the right amount of color, and is the perfect color to match most lips.

The Winning Formula: Ilia Beauty Lip Tinted Conditioners

Having suffered of a terrible breakout for the past few weeks, I tried to stay clear of face-makeup, and instead focused on trying some lip products (I already reviewed one of them here). I have fallen completely in love with one of them from Ilia Beauty. It is called a Lip Tinted Conditioner, but for me it is something in between a lip balm, a lipstick, and a lip gloss, all in one product. The Ilia Beauty lipsticks are made with organic oils and waxes (up to 85% certified organic ingredients) and the range of shades includes some of the most popular colors, from 60s' nudes to intense pinks, and even more classic reds. I picked the shade Blossom Lady, which is described by Ilia Beauty as a muted shade of pink. I quickly recognized that buying one shade was a big mistake: I should have purchased more!
