Easter Sunday Makeup!

How many of you are getting together with family or friends on Sunday? Heading to church to celebrate Easter? Have you put any thought into what makeup you’ll wear? Well I have! Easter Sunday is a bright and beautiful day, usually when women wear a pretty, colorful dress, and their daughters wear white gloves and bonnets. Okay, I’ll admit…this was my childhood, but what’s cuter than a little girl in white gloves and a bonnet??

Anyway, Easter is a time to celebrate. The day is often associated with bright and beautiful colors. Pastel pinks, purples, yellows and greens. Here are a few beauty products that would make your Easter complete!

A sweet palette of eight eye shadows in matte, shimmering, and sparkling formulas.

Give your Easter look a dreamy, sparkling touch with this palette of pastels that can easily be mixed and matched. The collection includes four matte powders that can be worn alone or as a base, and four sparkling top coats that add a dazzling, radiant finish!

Not into pinks? What about this gorgeous purple palette from Lancome!

Two John Masters Organics products I’m loving right now!

Embrace your inner green goddess and keep toxins out of your hair and off your skin with 100% organic beauty products from John Masters Organics. Not only are they held to an impressive self-imposed organic standard, these eight products are certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture, meaning that each product has met the strict USDA edible food standards to ensure that every ingredient is nothing short of incredibly organic.

I’ve tried the John Masters Organics Pomegranate Facial Nourishing Oil, and the Lip Calm. Oh dear God they are heavenly! The facial oil feels absolutely amazing on a freshly-washed face. I put on a couple drops, and smooth it over my face, and I feel like my skin takes a big huge sigh of relief. It just feels so amazing on!

Their Lip Calm is also an amazing product. There are SO MANY chapsticks out there that TASTE funky. You know the culprit’s. I am always nervous when I try a new chapstick – but this one was a huge relief! It’s slightly lemony, and smooth and cooling. It feels amazing, and I’m finding myself sticking it in my pocket to carry around with me all the time. I love it!
