Make-up is a Billion Dollar industry. Just look at Kylie Jenner Cosmetics – she is the youngest billionaire in the cosmetics world, in fact she’s one of the youngest in any world.
We all take the brands we know and love for granted, but have you have ever thought about their humble beginnings? Meet Maria Matthews, an English Girl in New York who has just started out with this new concept. This is The Sunshine Brit.

Maria was born in Reading (UK) and moved to New Jersey in 2008 after getting married.
Having worked for Clinique, Clarins and Chanelafter landing stateside, she moved into the travel business, buying her own travel agency. But Maria shares another love, alongside travel. Day by day she plans summer and winter trips, whilst by night, she plays with cosmetics.
The offspring of combining Maria’s two loves is this beautiful new cruelty free Winter colour palette, plus a Winter candle, which smells like pine trees.
The ‘Winter’ idea came about whilst in a New Jersey Sephora. Maria created her own colours after lots of testing, blending ingredients and registering with PETA, ensuring that everything was cruelty free. In fact it’s VEGAN, which is very on point for 2019.
Emphasis is on ice pinks. ‘Ice Queen’ is Maria’s favourite, as it’s a massive pop on the eyelid, providing a wow effect as well as making the lid look bigger. Hence the Winter Palette.
Next for the New Jersey Sunshine Brit are soy candles, which again, are cruelty free. Much to her horror, Maria discovered US giant Bath & Bodyworks use ingredients tested on animals, and her products simply don’t go there.
Winter Palette retails at $37 USD shipping in the USA is free however

(which is about £10).
