100% Pure Cosmetics: Lip colours + Eye Creamsticks

vitamint-100-pureSantana Row is my go-to place when I need to do some window shopping and browsing all the wonderful stores. 100% Pure is always a brand that has caught my eye, I walked in there a couple of times only to swatch a few things on my hand here and there. But it was only when I was invited to a blogger party at the store itself, where I learned a little more about the brand.

100% Pure cosmetics is an all natural, cruelty free, vegan makeup store local to San Jose — but is sold all over. I only know this because I searched a few hashtags on Instagram and found out that Canadians are lovin’ it too. And rightfully so, considering their makeup is on par with a lot of brands I am familar with. As someone who doesn’t stray too far off my regular skincare regime, I’m excited to hear that 100% pure products aim to give your skin its maximum benefits, without irritating any skin type.

Plus. Free shipping. Always. No minimum. Uh, bonus. So, I’m show-casing a couple of my favourite products from them today, introducing you to them in case you too are new to the brand like I was.

100percent-pure-lip-colourThis is their new line of fruit pigmented lip colours. Yep, you read that right. Kind of unbelieveable to think about. But look how moisturizing they look like they’d feel on your lips! Those swatches though.

100pure-eye-creamstickHere’s their creamsticks. Yes it’s a cream product and it’ll glide onto your forearm easily. But it did require a bit of work (especially with naked glimmer) to build up some colour onto the lid. Easy fix for that is apply a primer over top to make them more vibrant on the lid.

100-pure-cream-eyeAfter wearing three of the 6 shades of eye creamsticks I am pleasantly surprised to tell you that they do not crease on the eyes! Stay tuned for Tuesday’s blog post where I do a complete makeup look using all the products shown below.

Dior Cosmopolite | Nail polish for Fall 2015

Dior-Darling-Blush-polish791 Daring Blue

Dior-Cosmopolite-polish785 Cosmopolite

Dior-Miroire-polish001 Mirror

Dior-Metropolish-polish701 Metropolis

These are the four new nail polishes Dior will be releasing on August 1, for their Dior Cosmopolite Fall 2015 collection. Got a favourite? That green one was the first one I took a photo of this morning, and it has been on my nails for 4 days without a hitch. Looks like it holds up pretty good while making a pretty bold statement. Who knew I’d be sporting the forest green colour I had painted on my walls back in Grade 8. My hubby seems to like this shade on me too.

After taking a few swatches of these this afternoon I now have on the maroon colour, called after the collection itself, Cosmopolite. Definitely a second favourite. The entire collection will be a hybrid of metallics, and fun colours to wear in the cooler months creeping up on us. Except, it definitely was not cool outside today. 38*C out there today, smokin’! I ended up driving to the mall to save me some air-con costs, only to have it announced over the entire PA-system at the mall that between the hours of 2 and 5pm they will be dimming lights and not putting the A/C cranked so high. Fail there on my part. So I drove back and cranked my own AC in the comfort of my own home and took some nail swatches for ya guys.

Dior Nail Vernis will retail for $31.00CDN.

Get Ready With Me

I’ve been on the down-low for the last week and a half. Not filming or photographing new things for the blog, or instagram… BECAUSE I am having a horrendous hive (I’ve never been allergic to anything in my life and I’m currently doing an elimination detox of everything I’m using on my skin or eating) breakout that is making me feel so gross and of course then makes all the feels be negative. Ya’know?  Also, yes, I’ve been to the Doctor.

So I filmed this a few weeks ago, a get ready with me video as I attended a beauty event at Santana Row. I will be back to regular blogging soon! I just don’t feel up to it quite yet :)
