Huda Beauty Liquid Mattes Review, Swatches: Icon, Trendsetter, Trophy Wife

Huda Beauty Liquid Mattes Review, Swatches: Icon, Trendsetter, Trophy Wife

Swatches Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, November 22, 2016

Having used more than 40 DIFFERENT brands of long-wearing liquid lipsticks - epic post on these coming up - I can tell you the Huda Beauty Liquid Lip Mattes are the kindest, least drying, lightest, and runniest. They are as pigmented and opaque as can be. They smell tropical and fresh without being overpowering.
Huda Kattan is Dubai's most successful beauty blogger. Her products always sell out in Sephora Dubai outlets - I ought to know, having been embroiled in a race for them more than once and come off worst.
Huda's Liquid Matte lipsticks come in 16 shades, from pale neutrals to 1990s browns and brights, deeps and vampy shades. These come with matching "lip contour" pencils - I haven't bought these yet because I'm one of those disorganised people who misplaces lip pencils (and tweezers and hair brushes) all the time and would have to spend half my life searching.

Holiday 2016: Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar Contents - Ships Worldwide

Selfridges Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, November 15, 2016

Selfridges makes one of the best beauty advent calendars each year. No, not their regular luxury calendar, which has only L'Oreal-owned brands such as Lancome, YSL, Viktor & Rolf, Urban Decay, and Kiehl's. This is their less expensive "Beauty Workshop" Advent Calendar, with a mixture of brands and sizes. This year, they've dropped the word "workshop" and rebranded it as the Selfridges Beauty Advent Calendar - and the 2016 luxury calendar is known as "Eclectic Little Luxuries".
You get 24 products inside, with a total worth of £230, while the calendar costs £65. As usual, this beauty ships worldwide and makes for a gorgeous treat for all us deserving ladies. Read on for the contents. Hint: plenty of makeup; several full-sizes.

Antonia Burrell Forest Dew Skin Conditioner Review, How To Use

Antonia Burrell Forest Dew Skin Conditioner Review, How To Use

Toner Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, October 06, 2016

Antonia Burrell Forest Dew Skin Conditioner is versatile. It is a one-step product. It is a layer-able product. It is a moisturiser. It is a toner. It is a serum. It is an essence. It is a conditioner for the skin. What it really IS, is incredibly lush, nourishing, pampering, and gentle. Not to mention sustainably made, and cruelty-free.
Antonia Burrell, a UK-based faciallist with more than 20 years' experience, is Associate Lecturer at the London College of Fashion. Her Holistic Skincare collection is a range of multi-tasking products that are a natural blend of potent, predominantly organic, pure, bio-active plant extracts. The Forest Dew Skin Conditioner is my favourite in the range, and a part of my daily skincare routine.

Human+Kind Skincare: Body Lotion, Cleansing Cloths, Hand and Foot Cream

Human+Kind Skincare: Body Lotion, Cleansing Cloths, Hand and Foot Cream

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Last Summer, I discovered a skincare brand while travelling in Europe. Irish brand Human+Kind is natural and free of chemicals, petrochemicals, parabens, colourants and additives. Their tagline is "skincare with a conscience" and they claim to avoid the nasties in their products. A number of their products are multitaskers. For instance, their Family Remedy Cream addresses eight skin concerns.
The packaging is vibrant and attractive. They had quite a lot of skincare, but being paranoid about breakouts, I picked up just three mostly bath and body products - the body lotion, the Elbow+Foot+Hand Cream and Cleansing Cloths.
