Review - Bare Mineral set

  I was introduce to Bare Mineral trough my best friend years ago. But the only thing I actually owned was little powder brush. But for a few week I'm looking for to try more mineral make up, and Baremineral is the first brand that came in my mind.
So I went on my favourite Beauty online shop, and look trough their product.....lot and lot of product.
So I wasn't sure what to get, what colour etc...I decided to try a set.

And let me tell you....what a set!!
This one features face, eye and lips products, great to make up your mind about the brand.... and how cute looks this packaging!

  Let's start with the lips, it's actually what I like least in the set, not because the products are bad quality but because I'm not a lip person. The mini lip stick as the cutest packaging, is really creamy stay forever on the lips, and the colouration is really good, I don't like the smell of it.
 I think Moxie lip gloss from Baremineral are pretty popular, and I understand why, they are not sticky, the colour is pretty and they are super easy to apply. If you like mint scent, this gloss is for you, but know that this will make you lips feel a little piquant.

  
 Now my favourite part, the eyes. The set includes a mascara, a black eyeliner, an a two eye shadow palette.

  The mascara, is pretty difficult to use, as the brush is so....special! But it's truly black and once you're used to it, it makes the longest and blackest eye lashes ever. Surely one of my favourite mascara!

  They eye-liner, once again is super duper black, really creamy it slides super easily on your lid without smudging everywhere. I like to keep it in my make up back to touch up my wing liner during the day.

  And now....the biggest surprise I had in this kit. I didn't thought I will love this mini palette that much. The colour are amazing. Deep and warm brown with some blue sparkle in it, beautiful and very special. This other colour is a super cute champagne colour.
 I like the sleek and chic packaging even if it's not gonna stay clean very long!

  And last but definitely not least  the blush! It directly enters in my top 3! This is the most beautiful blush I ever tested!

 

 I was really sceptical about this loose powder blush. I thought it would be a disaster, a mess, and hard to apply, I also thought that they was no chance is gonna last....I was wrong, sure it's not the easiest to apply but the pigmentation is so  incredible and it stay forever on you cheeks!

This set is an amazing discover and make me defenitely want to try much more bare mineral products. This is a great opportunity if you are not familiar with the brand to make an idea of what works for you what not.

Please let me know what are your favourite product from baremineral ;)

Have a great week-end!

REVIEW - Eco Tools brushes

 

 The first time I ever hear about Eco Tools was in an interview. Jessica Alba revealed some of her beauty secrets, and she told fantastic things about Eco Tools.
Still on my organic/eco friendly research I was really intrigued about this brand.
Of course, you can't find it in Europa! But a few week later I flew to Los Angeles, and went on the hunt. And guess what? I flew back to Switzerland with the wrong product! (but still very good brushes anyway).
  I finally bought my first set on ebay and.....felt in love.
I use this set for a few month (or a year!) and decided to try face brushes.
Here are the two sets I received a few days ago.

 Flawless Face set

  Mineral Set

- What I like:

They are super handy, easy to use. They have the softer bristles I ever came across. Their small size and sleek handle make them travel friendly, or space saver (I live in a single room flat with my boyfriend, where space is an issue). They are multi task, you can use them like you want (I use the eye blend brushes for my under eyes). The quality incredible, I wash my brushes a lot and they didn't move, as soft and beautiful as new. And last but not least, they are eco friendly and 100% cruelty free. And all of that for a few dollars only!

 What I don't like:

You can't buy them in Europa. I found some of the face brushes a little to short, it can make them a little tricky to use.

To sum up: Eco tools is a super brand, everybody can find something suit for them. Their are super great for beginner and small budget, and I don't think I could ever found a better deal for the quality and moral they have.
I LOVE ECO TOOLS!

BRAND FOCUS - The Body Shop (Review)

I don't know why but The Body Shop was one of those brand I was very sceptical about. .
But I remember trying the almond hand cream and finding myself smell my hands every 10 seconds!
So I decide to go over my apprehensions and give the body shop a chance!
And well, you can see the result!
I felt in love with some of their products.

P.s: The body Shop is cruelty free and have a lot of vegan product, but the parent company is l'Oreal (not CF)

 Skin Primer  Matte it:

This is my favourite primer of all primer I ever tested. It smooth everything, mattifies my skin, my foundation does not flip on it. And I feel like any foundation will look way better with this primer underneath.
+ It's vegan, it does not smell anything, texture
- Don't find any minus point
= Try it!

 Oil Free Foundation :
This is actually the first product I ever bought by the body shop. 
+ oil free, great coverage, SPF 15
- hard to apply, oxidized 1 shade darker (on me)
= I would say it's good if you have oily skin and a good practice

Tee Tree BB Cream
I put a lot of hope in this product, I saw and read a lot of great review on it, but I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed. It's not a bad product at all, I just feel like it's not the best product for my skin.
It's probably more suited for summer, and will be great for very oily skin. If you have dry patches...it's gonna be a mess!
+ It's vegan, it has tee tree oil in it (the smell does not last), cute packaging
-  Hard to apply, light coverage, not for the winter
=  Good for oily skin but I found it not good at covering my scars. I'll try it again in the summer, when I want something super light coverage

Edit - I tried it with a beauty blender, and think it's the best way to apply it!
 

Vitamin E eye cream
Nothing to say about this product. I probably didn't use this long enough to have an opinion on it. I like that their is Vitamin E in it, but doesn't not see any progress on my under eyes since I use it.

Aloe lip treatment:
I heard about this on the Essie Button's channel. My lips are probably one of my biggest trouble, If I forgot to take my lip stick with me, I will have to buy a new one. That's how dry are my lips. The texture is simillar to lip glosses, but it's not sticky, and it actually prevents me to lick my lips.
+ the texture / the hydration
- the smell

Body lotion and body butter:
 Those are my favourite body products. The body butter is perfect for the winter or for the dryer part of your body. The body lotion is perfect for any time, it dries really fast.
+ The smell, hydration, packaging, dry fast
- The smell 


RECAP:
To finish, the body shop has a great selection of product, I fell like everyone can find something that suit him. I bought a lot of stuff that I share with my boyfriend and even with my dad.
They have more and more vegan products. But we (well I ) regret that their parent company is not CF They also have very good hand cream (try the hemp hand protector!).
Now I really want to try the Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder and some products of the Tee tree oil line.
Please let me know your favourite of the body shop, what is worth to try!?
