Spring is coming and this season it’s all about bright, bold, and beautiful pops of color that will make people stop and stare! (In a good way, of course). Cruelty free brand, Youngblood, has come up with a fun Spring collection that not only highlights and subtly enhances your own natural beauty, but also gives you that perfect dose of gorgeous color that will make you stand out in a crowd.

Go bold and try the Youngblood lipstick in Tangelo, a sheer, creamy coral-orange (pictured top). You know how I love me some orange shades!

And, I LOVE the Youngblood Luminous Crème Blush – available soon in four shades (top to bottom):

• Rose Quartz (a silvery petal-pink)
• Taffeta (a lustrous bubblegum pink)
• Tropical Glow (a peachy-pink tone with golden shimmer)
• Champagne Life (a bubbly taupe with a shimmery sheen)

I’m not usually a cream blush kinda girl, but I actually love these. They go on sheer (I put A LOT of product on my arm in the swatch pic so you can really see the colors) and they don’t make my face feel greasy. I have combination skin and I can wear these natural-looking, fun colors with no problems.

They also have an Eye-lluminating Duo – a dual-ended pencil with two neutral tones (Matte, a pink-nude; and Shimmer, an iridescent champagne-beige) that you can use to highlight under the brow, on upper or lower water lines or even the tops of your cheeks!

These products will be available for purchase on March 1st.

Lisa’s Red Hot Tip:
This formula is the greatest! I searched high and low and found one that really STAYS PUT. I love having gloss on my lips at all times and got frustrated when they always wore off. But finally… a gloss that stays on for hours. I think you will enjoy the shade selections and your new kissable lips! MUAH! XX

Pacifica is hosting a sweepstakes that honors their sexy, new scent – Island Vanilla (try it and/or buy it at Sephora and Sephora.com) – and kicks off Pacifica’s new charitable partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society (a portion of all Island Vanilla proceeds will now benefit this amazing organization). One grand prize winner will receive $200 towards a romantic Island getaway. Twenty runners-up will get a taste of the tropics delivered straight to their door with a full-size Island Vanilla Spray Perfume and Body Butter (a $40 value). To enter, visit the Pacifica Facebook page. The sweepstakes ends February 13th.

I tried the Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-On, Island Vanilla Body Butter and the Color Quench Natural Moisture Lip Tint. All available in the Island Vanilla Take Me There Set for only $18! The scent is Tahitian vanilla mixed with honey jasmine, tea and fruit. It’s very subtle and not overwhelming at all. I think even those who aren’t usually vanilla fans might like it. I like the subtlety of the body butter, but I wish the roll-on perfume was just a tad bit stronger. Definitely something you can wear every day.
