Amazing Lipsticks from Color Me Chad – They’re Handmade and Vegan Too!
I am ecstatic over Color Me Chad, a wonderful line of lipsticks and glosses that are handmade in Brooklyn and 100% vegan. I haven’t met Chad in person, but I tried his luscious matte red lipstick, called “Having It,” at a recent Shwick Market event, and I love the way it goes on and stays on. I’ve also tried his gloss, which is amazing too. His collection includes classic reds, pinks, and oranges, as well as the more forward lavender Neptune, gold Auriel, and black Coal. Color Me Chad will be at the Brooklyn Makers Market on June 18th & 19th – mark your calendar! (OFFER: Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% Off at the markets!)
Have a wonderful weekend, and thank a service person on Memorial Day!

57th Street Greenmarket: A farmers market doesn’t have to be huge to be important.
