Spring into seasonal beauty with Bite Beauty, Catrice Cosmetics and Quo Beauty!

Bite Beauty Upswing Extreme Longwear Liquid Eyeliner in Solid Black - $33 - a clean, ultra-pigmented liquid eyeliner that glides on smoothly for precise, stress-free application and extreme long wear that doesn't fade. The formula contains passionflower extract - nourishes and doesn’t allow the liner to flake or dry out; and fruit-derived pectin - to provide an even application and smooth glide. 

 

I like the nice clean look that comes from a liquid liner but generally find it messy and hard to apply - after trying this one I realize that my previous issues came from a lack of glide - the easier they glide on, the more precise your line will be - with very little effort!

Available at Sephora stores across Canada and online at sephora.ca and bitebeauty.com.

Catrice Cosmetics Blush Box in Nude Peach - $7.99 - a silky matte powder blush with light-diffusing pigments for a healthy, natural looking flush on the cheeks that is waterproof and sweatproof for even the most active lifestyle!

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada and online at beauty.shoppersdrugmart.ca.

Quo Beauty Avocado Lip Balm in Coral Crush - $10 - a lightly tinted lip balm formulated with avocado oil to help provide both moisture and a touch of colour to the lips.

The coral shade is universally flattering and the sweet scent is going to have you wanting to eat your own lips off!
