How is the weather by you? Some of the chill factor has snuck back in, but the warmth that appeared mid last week has made itself at home in my wardrobe and makeup. Flats and light jackets and blazers are my uniform items to brave the errands of each day. Spring is also notorious (or famous...) for it's showers. I happen to love the rain, so even if it does, I'm in a great mood. The mere shift in temperature makes me reach for neons and brights. Some of you may not be as crazy. I've accepted this fact ;). To adopt a brighter spring mentality, or even to transition into it smoothly, you might need a bit of sheer.

Many people notice a person's face first. The eyes and the lips. When others notice you, I hope you have a smile readily available. That smile should be decorated with 3 Custom Color. I broke out my Three Custom Color sheer lipstick in Frangipani thinking that it would be bright as the Vegas lights, but found a peppy sheer coat. So I thought of y'all!

Frangipani sounded familiar so I checked the wiki. It is aptly the common name for a range of flowers found in a tropical climate. Tropical climates have rain, and flowers bloom in spring. So really... you need yourself some sheer pink in your life. Check out the swatches after the jump!

So how long has everyone waited for me to say something about the Bloggin' Beauts event? To be the cohost and planner, you'd think I'd be right on top of it right? .... crickets

With sensitivity to the fact that many of my readers are not NY based, I have started a new blog for the NYC Bloggin' Beauts. I will probably mercilessly reference the upcoming events and such, but everything else will be on the blog. That kind of treaty work?

Now! Without further ado, I present to you the companies that worked with us. Want more details? Scurry your butt over to the NYC Bloggin' Beauts Blog!
