Cargo Plant Love

This is great lipstick for so many reasons. From the earth friendly corn resin lipstick tubes to paper packaging embedded with wildflower seeds you can plant to a great shade selection of sheer glossy colors, well I like this stuff.

Plant Love lipstick is not new but new colors are added periodically. The new issue of Shape magazine with Denise Richards on the cover highlighted the 2 shades she designed. Sam, a sheer red and Lola, a shimmery nude are named for her daughters.

I really like Cece and it embodies what I like best about these lipsticks on the whole. They are transparent but have lots of color payoff and are glossy without being sticky or messy. Plant Love lipsticks get it right when it comes to a modern lipstick finish that is easy to wear yet polished looking.

These lipsticks are moisturizing and wear really well. I feel like I am gushing a bit but I love when cosmetics companies hit it out of the park and like to help celebrate their success!

My fav shades are:

Cece: sheer berry plum (reminds my of Clinique's Black Honey with a stronger purple undertone)

Majella: sheer rose plum

Muir Woods: sheer shimmery natural mauve pink

Killarney: a warmer pink shimmer that lasts for hours

Please do check out these 20 lipsticks if for no other reason than the planet friendly packaging or that $2 is donated to St. Judes for every purchase. Oh and you are bound to look great in one as well!

Top 10 Highlighters - #4 Cargo Eyelighter

The Eyelighter conjures up magic wand thoughts for me. With both a shimmer and matte powder I am Glenda the Good Witch, sweeping stardust on my tired eyes.

I first saw this product around the holidays on HSN's Sephora shows that were live on 5th Avenue. It was love at first sight with this dual tipped pen. I was over the moon that I no longer had to use 2 different products to get the lift of the matte powder and the brightening from the shimmer.

The Eyelighter is $17 at Sephora and you have a choice of white or gold! I can not help you pick between the two....I love them both equally but for different reasons.

White is my everyday choice, but the gold is so great for the spring and summer. For those of us who do not tan and avoid the sun at all costs, gold has a way of bringing the illusion of warmth and sunlight to our face.

At $17 I say go for both, but no matter what you choose, you will be pleased and feel a little like Glenda!
