Peaches & Cream

Every time this picture pops up on my Pinterest page I find myself staring at it for ages, I just love the pure, neutral simplicity of this makeup look so I just had to find some products to recreate it naturally.

Firstly, we start with the base which would be none other than my beloved rms beauty "Un"-cover up. To use as a base, I take a small chunk and rub it into the back of my hand to warm it up a bit, then I take a sponge applicator and apply it as I normally would foundation, from the center out. I find this to be the best foundation I have ever come across, it blends perfectly, gives amazing coverage and doesn't become cakey or oily, it just looks great. It truly is a perfect product.

Next comes the eyes. I have chosen the Nvey Eco Organic Creative Eye Color System in 5 because the colors are gorgeous and suit the neutral look well. I think any of the colors would suit the look well but I would personally go with 162 or 168 which are the second and fourth colors as these are the most neutral and just apply all over the lid. 

Next would I would apply a light lashing of Couleur Caramel Mascara for Long Lashes in Brown as it keeps with the minimal look and also because it is the best natural mascara I have come across so far. One coat would be fine. 

I would also add a tiny bit of the white end of Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup Eye Highlighter Pencil to the lower waterline to brighten up the eyes and a little of the pink end just underneath the lower lashline. This makes the eyes look amazing. 

For blush I've chosen the Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi-Use Blush Classic in Tender as it will give just a hint of peachy flush to the cheeks while still looking natural. I love this type of blush personally as I don't like too much color on my cheeks.

Last but not least, apply a one or two coats of Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner in Dizzy for that beautiful kiss me color. This is the best match to the color in the picture that I have found and it will give lips that beautiful, luscious, dewy look.

I think this look would be complete with some eyebrow grooming as well, and maybe some subtle highlighting on the brow bone with rms beauty living luminizer or Ilia Beauty Polka Dots & Moonbeams as they are both great, nourishing products. 

I hope you all like these type of post's because I plan on doing more of them in the future and would be happy to find products for anyone looking to recreate a certain look :)

Real Purity and Nvey Eco Lipstick Swatches

Today my order from Natural Solutions arrived, which I was really excited about as i've been really getting into lipstick's lately. I ordered a bunch of samples of lipsticks from Honeybee Gardens, Real Purity and Nvey Eco, and also a sample of 100% Pure's Foundation. Two of the samples I ordered were out of stock so they refunded me for those within days which was really good, as most places seem to take a while from experience. Any who, I just wanted to show samples of a few for now, the Real Purity and Nvey Eco one's. These colours are so nice, granted, not all of them are practical for me as I have zero social life, so no where to where them, but I love them all the same.

{L-R: RP Hibiscus, RP Coral Berry, RP Tangerine, RP Grape Sherbet, NE #363}

Real Purity Hibiscus nice frosted pink colour, in the pot it looks barbie pink but on the lips it's sheer  and not so bright. It also seems to have a purplish tint to it from the shimmer, but you can't really tell that much when wearing it.

Real Purity Coral Berry is a full on barbie pink, both in the container and on the lips. It reminds me a lot of the MAC lipsticks and is right on trend for lipcolours that everyone seems to wear these days. I actually like this colour a lot although i'm not sure i'd wear it out. It's highly pigmented, glossy, glides on oh so smoothly and has pretty good staying power, although it did rub off a bit after eating.

Real Purity Tangerine is similar to Hibiscus in that it is sheer and somewhat frosted. I Love the colour of this, a peachy orange melon shade.

 Real Purity Grape Sherbet, again a sheer and frosted colour. In the pot it is a gorgeous Mauve-ish colour, but on the lips it appears a bit lighter, more like a frosted grape colour. This also reminds me of a colour MAC would bring out.

Nvey Eco #363, somewhat similar to RP Tnagerine just more pigmented. This colour in the pot is the most beautiful brick red/orange frosted colour, so nice, whereas on the lips it is slightly more orange. This has fairly good staying power but after eating I was just left with an orange line around the edge of my lips which didn't look so good, but i'm sure would be remedied with a layer of lip liner underneath.

I'm very happy with all these lipsticks. Although some of them aren't practical for everyday, they are beautiful colours and both brands have created amazing formula's as far as how smmothly they apply and how hydrated your lips stay after applying.
