I like the easy to apply lipsticks too, the one we had (Joshua Tree) was shimmery without being frosted which is spectacularly difficult to pull off, staying power seemed about average, it had to be reapplied after a couple of hours, but we didn't have any issues with dryness.
For me though, the stand out product has to the Natural Baked Illuminator. There are three of these in the range: Earth, Wind and Fire. Earth is a selection of bronzing shades, Wind has a hint of subtle pink blush with the bronze and Fire has a gorgeous bright pink blush in there. I have Wind (if you'll pardon the pun) and I've used it every single day since it arrived, it's perfectly pigmented, and makes your skin just glow, I adore it, and it's now a makeup staple of my very own. Just swirl your blusher brush over the marbled powder and either use it as you would your blusher, or use as you would a bronzer (for Earth and Wind) for a brightening effect.
I do have to say that I think the packaging is a bit of a misfire, I love the fact that it's all vegetable based and compostable, but these are actually serious cosmetic products, and whilst the pink packaging is pretty, it's a little too "girly" and makes the items look cheap. That said, I'll be investing in at least the other two illuminators, and a couple more of the lipsticks, pretty soon. I've discovered that blusher is a lot more important to my make up bag than I ever previously suspected! The range starts from £10 and is exclusively available from Puresha
I have used both the eyeshadow and the lipstick every day this week. The shadow is gorgeous and as with any good orange/coppery shades of shadow, makes my blue eyes 'pop' [sorry to have used a Tyraism but I will also say I was smiling with me eyes ALL week]
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick is well wearing, although is a little prone to dryness as the day goes on and tends to just leave the shimmer on the lips without the base colour. Still chuffed with them though and would recommend them.
