The vitamin-rich (B5) and nourishing (Agran Oil, Avocado Oil) formulation of Built to Lash offers a highly pigmented coat of rich black color which helps lashes look more voluminous and long (a major factor for me!).

My favorite piece from the holiday collection is the ultra-luxe Queen Bee PurePressed Blush, which offers a soft, radiant flush of delicate fuchsia pink along the cheeks. A perfect pop of color to sport all winter, they won't want to leave the house without a quick dusting of  this best-selling, antioxidant-rich blush.

LIP COLOR IN WILD HEART & FLING, $20.57 USD
During this year's Indie Beauty Expo (IBE), I had the pleasure of meeting with Jen Wojtaszek, the inspiring founder of Spoil Me Beautiful and discovered the power of her luxurious natural, vegan lip products. These beautifully formulated, hydrating lip colors are the ideal stocking suffers as the lightweight, smooth formula delivers a lovely wash of pearlescent color without the sticky, tackiness of a traditional gloss. All housed in a chic tube, you'll be eager to pull this lippie out of your makeup bag time and time again and can adjust the intensity of color with just a few swipes on the lips. Best of all, "Wild Heart," the luscious deep red hued lip color was recently nominated by IBE for best lip color in this year's show. Grab yourself this recognized lip color or opt for "Fling," the flattering bright pink shade with a dazzling gold iridescence blended throughout.

These unique lip products are gifts that give beyond beauty as a  portion of all Spoil Me Beautiful profits are generously donated to non-profit organizations and initiatives working towards rehabilitating animals that have been victims of cruelty.
