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.
before - no makeup
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!

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

Image
It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. T...

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole...

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

-
Image
My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big diffe...
