Brand Spotlight: Breakups To Makeup

posted on: 1.27.2015

Unless you've been hiding under a rock recently, then you've probably noticed those witty makeup bags and compacts that have been appearing on the blogosphere. With sassy sayings such as "Please, I Can't Even Commit To A Lipstick" to "Love Raised Me, Lipstick Saved Me," Breakups To Makeups has taken the beauty industry by storm.

Breakups to Makeup is the brain child of Angelique Velez, a New York City based makeup artist and entrepreneur. I had seen fellow bloggers and makeup artists raving about their Breakups to Makeup stickers and makeup bags that they had gotten at The Makeup Show Orlando in 2013, but I had somehow missed their booth. I made sure I made up for that mistake this past November, and I made a beeline for their booth. And ya'll... I WANTED EVERYTHING.

Not only that, but Angelique and her mother were the most delightful people to talk to. Fortunately, I went to their booth when it wasn't completely swamped with people, and I was able to speak to Angelique and learn more about her brand. Inspired by a traumatic breakup, she says that makeup saved her from spiraling downwards. And from there, the concept of Breakups to Makeup was born.

Naturally, I had to buy their tank tops so I could wear these sassy slogans loud and proud when I'm out and about. And honestly, I wish I had gotten more stuff! Whenever I wear my Breakups To Makeup tank tops out, I receive SO many compliments and people wanting to know where they can score these tops. I love how empowering these messages are for women. I mean, really, who can't get behind the saying "I would cry but my mascara is designer"?!

If you're wondering where to start, I recommend getting THIS makeup bag, THIS turban, or even THIS tee. Definitely explore their website and be prepared to make a major dent in your wallet. What's your favorite Breakups To Makeup saying?
