Emani Vegan Cosmetics - Foundation & Lipstick Review

-
I am always on the lookout for new makeup to add to my collection. Foundations especially as I find it hard to find ones that suit my skintone, plus offer decent coverage at the same time. This month I decided I would try out the vegan cosmetics brand Emani.
Emani mineral-based cosmetics are free of preservatives, talc, oil, waxes, fragrances, and other chemicals that can irritate skin and cause breakouts. The products are suitable for sensitive, acne prone and aging skin (I am all three!)

Emani Hydrawear 12hr Liquid Foundation* (40ml £34) I went for the shade 'fairly light' as I have very pale skin. This is the lightest shade that Emani offer but I think I could of gotten away with a slightly darker shade. The foundation is light to medium coverage which works well to even out my skin for a natural day look. For an evening makeup look I would still like something with a bit more coverage. The foundation gives a dewy finish and with the added benefit of Hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil the skin is left feeling soft and moisturised.

I'm not sure my pictures below truly show a difference but I can assure you I noticed a difference in person. I found the foundation covered my blemishes and freckles quite well.

after - light layer of foundation and lipstick duo


 Emani Prismatic Duo Tone Lip Colour* (8g £22) I went for an easy to wear shade 'Celestial' which is a nude and pink. I am not a huge fan of bright colours as I find they don't suit me, so I stayed in my comfort zone with these shades! This lipstick is fab as it can be worn in 4 ways! Each colour can be worn alone, combined to create a 3rd shade or apply darker shade to bottom lip and lighter to top lip.

The lipstick itself has a very nice moisturising effect and doesn't feel drying on the lips, which is very important for me. The colour lasts well and I didn't find it transferred when eating and drinking, again an important feature.
I used flash in this photo as the separate colours were not showing up well enough without it.

As you can see from above swatches the two colours are lovely separately and have a slight sheen to them. A very wearable lipstick for everyday use. Next time I will go for a darker shade - more out of my comfort zone!

      It is a lovely shade, perhaps too subtle...I will need to try something more plum colour next time x

PureChimp Matcha Green Tea Review

-
Image
I normally have 2 or 3 coffees a day but have been swapping my morning coffee for a PureChimp Matcha Green Tea *(50g £9.95) Purechimp offer 4 flavours. Regular, turmeric, mint or lemon matcha tea. I personally preferred the PureChimp Lemon Matcha Green Tea * (20g £4.95) over the regular Matcha. The taste is not unpleasant but does takes a bit of getting used too, especially if you are having it solely with water. You can enjoy Matcha in a variety of ways however...adding half a teaspoon into smoothies, juice or make a Matcha Latte. Recipe below. Matcha can also be added into home bakes just as cookies, brownies and pancakes. The possibilities are endless really. It's reccomemded you have 1-2 servings per day but up to 5 is fine. More than this will put you over the reccomended caffeine limit. Matcha Green Tea contains around 35mg of caffeine per serving. A serving is 1g (½ a level teaspoon). Benefits of Matcha Tea Over 50x the anti-oxidising

March Love Lula Beauty Box

The March Love Lula Beauty Box* contains 6 products from brands including Balm Balm, Ayumi, Madara and Soul Tree, with the contents having a total value of £52 which is fantastic value for this box. Love Lula are making some changes to their monthly subscription which will be coming to an end in May. I will miss the surprise treat every month but don't panic! Love Lula will be making the boxes available to purchase on the store individually as opposed to being subscription-based. This provides the opportunity for future Beauty Boxes to be curated with a more defined theme or purpose, which sounds exciting to me and I can't wait to see what the coming months will bring. Anyway....back to the box in hand.... Balm Balm Super Light Coconut Cleanser (£15, 100ml) This gentle cleanser is made from blended coconut oils which have been mechanically extracted from virgin coconut butter making it a super light oil. It can be used on sensitive skin including the eye area making it perfect

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

One thing I love about skincare products is a good face mask...who doesn't am I right?! I was very excited this month to be given a chance to test out the Aura Manuka Honey Mask from Antipodes. It is suitable for most skin types, but especially great for blemish prone skin, so perfect for my skin type...in theory. The Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask * is £26.99 and comes in a 75ml foil tube inside a cardboard box (which can both be recycled!) As a little goes a long way, I can see this mask lasting a good amount of time. Containing a blend of Manuka Honey, Avocado oil, Carrot oil, Grape Seed extract, Pohutukawa flower extract and vitamin E alongside essential oils of vanilla and mandarin, this face mask is sure to leave skin soothed and deeply hydrated. Pohutukawa (known as the New Zealand Christmas tree because it flowers gloriously in December) contains antioxidants which help neutralize free radicals, while Manuka Honey contains anti bacterial properties to hel
