I Really Love My...

Thrive Causemetics

You may have seen this brand featured all over Instagram, and that's how I found out about this charity-driven brand. I was attracted to the products, but I'm always a little hesitant to try new makeup due to the price point. However, after learning more about brand and chatting with one of my favorite bloggers, Missy, from Loving Life Moore, we both decided to go for it!

Thrive Causemetics is beauty with a purpose. For every product purchased, the company donates to help a woman thrive. All products are vegan, 100% cruelty-free, and contain proven ingredients without parabens or sulfates. Thrive offers a full menu of products including CC creams, bronzer, setting powder, blush, highlighter, mascara, waterproof eyeliner, eye shadow palettes, lipsticks, lip glosses, and brushes and tools.

Thrive works with 50 partner organizations that empower women who are fighting cancer, surviving domestic abuse, or emerging from homelessness. Thrive Causemetics recently celebrated it's 4th anniversary by donating $25 million in products to over 50 partner organizations that empower women.

I purchased 3 products from Thrive Causmetics - the Triple Threat Color Stick, and the Contouring Duo which includes the Sun Chaser Blur + Sculpt Bronzing and Brilliant Eye Brightener. My purchase also came with a free makeup bag and I used a code for a free mini Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara.

I find that the bronzer is highly pigmented which is great! A little bit goes a long way and the product will last a long time! I'm am pale and fair skinned so I chose Rhea. Every bronzer boasts Youth B5 Complex which is a combination of sodium hyaluronate plus B5 to plumps, hydrates, and replenishes moisture to the skin.

 I love the Brilliant Eye Brightener because I can use it to highlight multiple areas of my face. The color Stella is a champagne shimmer that catches the light in just the right way without giving too much sparkle.

I also purchased the Triple Threat Color Stick in the color Maggie. The 3-in-1 stick offers waterproof color for lips, cheeks, and body. The color Maggie is described as a rose simmer. It's a really, really bright pink. I put it on my cheeks before powder and stipple it on my lips and eyelids to tone down the color. Over all, I really love this product because it's quality and I love that it's 3-in-1 which is perfect for getting ready quickly in the morning and taking it along when I travel. Bonus: it's got a built in brush that you can use for blending!

The last product I received was the free mini mascara and I was so glad I got this product! This is hands down the best mascara I've ever used. My lashes looked fuller and longer with just one coat. I love mascara so I always do multiple coats and I can do that without having to dip the brush back in to the product. There is no flaking, no smudging, and no raccoon eyes. It's powered by Orchid Stem Cell Complex  and a Flake-Free Liquid Fiber Technology.

I will be purchasing these products again and then some! I'm looking forward to trying the Buildable Blur CC Cream and Filtered Effects Soft Focus HD Setting Powder when I finish my current foundation and powder.
