Editors’ Pick: Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Fenty Beauty has returned for the Spring/Summer with their limited edition Body Lava. First released last year in ‘Brown Sugar’, the body luminizer returns in three shades. Pictured above, Trophy Wife ($59.00, FentyBeauty.com) has been deemed as her favorite. Via press release, our Bajan Badgal said, “Trophy Wife is one of my all-time favorites, so I wanted to make a formula to wear all over your body, and now we have a 3rd member to the Body Lava family!”  They also have Brown Sugar (a deep bronze) and Who Needs Clothes?! which is a beautiful rose gold color. This is a must-have on your Memorial Day Weekend vacation or Summer travels. Personally, I love to use this as a highlighter on my face and I always get compliments. This body luminizer works in so many fun ways.

Makeup Geek Power Pigments in ‘Indestructible’ and ‘Tenacious’

Don’t have the blues…wear them! This hue has been seen all over the red carpet and was a favorite beauty option at Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. You can use a blue eyeshadow on your lid or even get an angular blush and apply on your lower lash line. If you are looking for a classic blue, then go with Indestructible ($9.00, MakeupGeek.com) and if you are looking for more of an ocean or sky-blue cerulean, go for Tenacious ($9.00, MakeupGeek.com). Costing under $10.00 a pop, you can treat yo’self and get both!
