Friday, December 16, 2011 Sidrah!!!! 14 Comments

I have always liked products which promise organic ingredients, most products that promise all natural ingredients are expensive. For today’s post I am going to be reviewing some products from Nature's Brilliance by Sue. The brand offers very affordable mineral makeup as well as organic lotions, perfumes and soaps with prices starting from $4. Nature's Brilliance by Sue offers quality organic and natural cosmetics.

The products I will be reviewing today are:

Pomegranate Cream Lip Gloss in Orchids in Bloom

Mineral Eye Color in Robins Egg, Sunset Peach, Primrose, Green Apples, Orchid Brilliance-Matte

Mineral Blush in Peach Sunset

Pomegranate Cream Lip Gloss in Orchids in Bloom

Pomegranate Cream Lip Gloss

Pomegranate Cream Lip Gloss Swatch

The Pomegranate Cream Lip Gloss in Orchids in Bloom is a true violet shade which shows up as a light purple tint on my lips. The texture of the product is really smooth, almost like a lip balm. The scent is a bit fruity, I am guessing its pomegranate. The ingredients lists pomegranate butter as an ingredient along with shea butter which makes the product creamy to apply and not sticky. I do like applying this with a peachy color lipstick, it changes the color into a deep rose color.

INGREDIENTS: Pomegranate Butter (Pomegranate Fruit, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil), Castor Seed Oil, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Glycerin (Veg.), Lecithin (Veg.), Jojoba Protein HP, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Natural Vitamin E and Vitamin C, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Mica and Iron Oxide.

Likes:
- Not sticky
- Hydrates lips
- Pleasant fruity scent
- Doesn't bleed

Dislikes:
- More of a lip balm than a gloss
- Comes in a pot, applying can make the product unhygienic

Mineral Eye Color in Robins Egg

Mineral Eye Color in Robins Egg

Mineral Eye Color in Sunset Peach, Primrose, Green Apples, Orchid Brilliance-Matte

Mineral Eye Color Swatches

The swatches are done without any primer, I love the neon green!

Sunset Peach is a vibrant orange.
Primrose is a pink tone red.
Green Apples is a vibrant neon green.
Orchid Brilliance-Matte is a bit darker than lilac.
Robins Egg is a true sky blue color.

The quality of all the shadows is really quite exceptional. Each of the eyeshadows are really buttery and smooth, including the matte shadow. The pigmentation is just as amazing, usually I find that mineral eyeshadows give its true pigmentation by applying them wet but you really don’t need to do that, the smallest amount of the eyeshadow gives a great amount of color.

Mineral Blush in Peach Sunset

Mineral Blush in Peach Sunset

Mineral Blush in Peach Sunset Swatch

Peach Sunset is a true peachy biege blush with loads of shimmer. It has the same texture and pigmentation as the eyeshadows. It applies really smoothly, though if you want the peach shade to be more visible than the product must be layered at least twice. Blended out only the shimmer shows up which works as a great highlight with a deep matte peach shade.

Likes:

- Texture is really soft

- Applies well without a primer

- Blends easily

- Vibrant pigmentation

- Little goes a long way

- Suitable for sensitive skin

Dislikes:

- More shimmer shades available than matte

- Only available online

Price: On Sale now for $7.00

To Sum it Up:

The mineral eyeshadows and blush have the same texture and pigmentation. I really enjoy wearing the eyeshadows, usually with mineral shadows I have to use them wet to get a rich pigmentation but with these I didn't need to. They apply very well and blend really effortlessly. The shimmer in the blush is very pretty, they are very fine so they appear very natural on the skin giving a nice glow.
