The Balm - DownBoy Blush

I recently won one of The Balm's daily twitter contests and chose to try out the DownBoy Blush. I had never tried any of their products before and now since I've tested out the blush, I want to try them all. This blush is so full of pigment, but applies to my face every evenly and not overbearing. It is a blush that is easy to layer as well, meaning you can put a tiny bit on to get a pink glow or apply several layers to create more of a deep pink.

(Plā) Beauty

If you haven't heard of (Plā) Beauty, I guarantee you will in 2012.  Plā Beauty was featured this month in The Atlantan Magazine and is creating all kinds of buzz in the make-up world.  The creator, Stephanie Green-Bass has such an inspirational story behind it, that I believe only makes the brand stronger.

     "Inspired by the infinite power of makeup, (Plā) Beauty founder, Stephanie Green-Bass, combined her love of cosmetics and years of industry experience with her lifelong passion to make a difference in the life of a child. She turned personal heartache after losing her infant daughter into a fulfillment of her promise to give back to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta."  [quoted from website]

The make-up line was created to inspire beauty but also a percentage of the proceeds are donated to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  So not only will you feel and look beautiful, you are donating to a good cause, just by purchasing (Plā) Beauty products.  The brand is also an eco-conscious cosmetic line that uses refillable products and magnetic compacts to help cut down on wasteful packaging.

I was so excited to learn that Atlanta's make-up boutique, Woo Skincare and Cosmetics sells (Plā) Beauty products and that Atlanta is a hometown for the (Plā) Beauty brand.  The line started with lip glosses and has now expanded into a full line of products, for your face, eyes and lips.  The color palette is vivid and rich all the while very feminine and sexy.  I cannot wait to (Plā).
