Review: Bellapierre Cosmetics Shimmer Collection 9 Stack | Iris

 

Hi loves, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Today I'm happy to share a review on Bellapierre Cosmetics. They make 100% mineral makeup, which I really like. I picked up their Shimmer Collection 9 Stack and I have it in shade Iris (15.75g, €70.00). Like the name says the stack contains 9 mineral eye shadows. All together there is 7 different 9 Stacks available and I all have different names. I also own the Glamorous 9 Stack, which contains only glitters. You can read my review on it here.

I love the 9 Stacks, because all the shadows are on top of each other and they are perfect to have in my makeup kit. It takes up so few space and I have all the shadows I need for fun colorful look. And there is so many ways I can used these pigments. I can make them a lip color, an eyeliner, a blush or use it as nail polish.

I'm all about that pigment life, even though sometimes I don't show so much love to my pigments as I should. The stack Iris contains fun and bright colors. I like to use these mostly as an eyeshadow. These shades are so pigmented and are easy to work with. These work well together and also with other powder shadows. 

Like the name says these are all shimmery/metallic shades. I feel the swatches don't do justice how metallic some of the shades are. You can all see these are so pigmented (swatches are down below) and I love I can easily use these as eyeliners with a damp brush.

Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron oxides (May contain: Carmine.)

Let's talk about the staying on power. I have used these pigments with and without eyeshadow primer. These stay on no matter what all day with out creasing or fading. I couldn't be more happy about these pigments.

I'm so happy to shave this fun color story in my collection and to be honest I would like to add all 7 into my collection. I already have 2, so I 5 to go :D You can check all the stacks out for yourself here.

What's your favorite Bellapierre product?

Review: Bellapiérre Shimmer Roll

Hi loves! Today's review is on Bellapiérre Shimmer Roll in shade Champagne (2g). This can be used on face, eyes and on body.

The product comes in a tube packaging and has a roller to apply the product. I don't really like to use it that way. I tap some of it off on my hand and pick it up with a brush. That way I have more control how much product I use it and it also lets me use it on the eyes. I use it as highlighter and inner corner highlighter. It looks so bright and I can see it would fit a lot of different skin tones. It is also formulated with natural ingredients and contains pure pigment.

Ingredients: Mica, Dimethicone, +/- C177891, C177491, C177007, C177499.

I like to use it in the evenings when I go out, because its more in your face kinda highlighter, which you can see swatched on the left. The times when I use it, I really like the result and the glow it gives me. And I'm glowing like a star all evening :) It makes me wanna try their pressed highlighters as well. 

I think for £7.00 its amazing product to have in your makeup bag for date nights or special occasion. If you like to wear it day to day it will also be a great item to have, plus the packaging is so compact that its perfect for travel.

Have you tried this product before?

Review: Bellapierre Contour & Highlight Cream Palette

Hi loves! Today I have for you Bellapierre Contour & Highlight Cream Palette (24g). The palette comes in cardboard packaging and closes magnetically. Inside there is a mirror and 6 cream shade for highlighting and contouring. It also comes step by step instruction how to highlight & contour your face. Its great they added it, so beginners can use this palette too. You can also remove the pans from the palette and add to empty magnetic palette for travel.

The formula of the cream highlighters and contouring shades feel cream and they are pigmented. I like to use my fingers to apply these and blend out with a puffing brush. These blend easily into the skin and look seamless. Its so easy to use and I find cream contour is easier to use then powders. Its more forgiving and great for beginners. Its also faster and thats why I like to use it.

On the left you can see all of the shades swatched. My highlighting shade is Marzipan. I know its more yellow, but it somehow works very well with my skin tone and brightens very thing up. My cotnouring shade is the darkest Ganache. Its perfect to carve out my cheek bones and add that natural looking shadow. These are the main shades I use, but I can use the other darker shades to bronze up my complexion. I like I can find a way to use almost all the shades.

Ingredients: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Magnesium Carbonate, Kaolin, Candelilla Cera (Candelilla Wax), Copernicia Cerifera Cera(Carnauba Wax), Simmondsia Chinensis(Jojoba) Seed oil, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin A), [+/- Mica (CI 77091), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI77499)].

I'm very happy with this palette. I got it from a beauty subscription box and I'm so happy I did. Its wonderful product and I love how easy it is to work with these. If you are interested and based in the Netherlands, you can find it here. Rest of the world can check it out down below ;)

Review: Bellápierre Shimmer 9 Stack | Glamorous

Hi loves! Sorry for missing last week's post, but my life is crazy at the moment. I have hard time keeping up with my other blog and I just feel stressed. But this week I took time off and here I am with a new review. Today we are talking about Bellápierre Shimmer 9 Stack in Glamorous ($90.00) and I have reviewed one before, which where their Shimmer Powders (review). 

The Glamour 9 Stack contains only glitters. There is 9 glitters, which come in a clear packaging and they are stacked up on each other. Its a great way to store it and to travel with it, because it doesn't make a mess. I haven't had any issues using it. If you are afraid of a mess when working with loose glitters or eyeshadows, put a towel under the shadows when you open them, so when something does come out it will go on the towel.

I love the shades they have included in this set. There is something for every occasion. There is light shades and also more bold shades. With these there is a change you get fall out, so use them before you do your face makeup. I use NYX Glitter primer to apply these and a tamp flat eyeshadow brush. The glitter primer has tacky base and the glitter stays on and doesn't move around. I also used it on swatches which you can see down below.

I usually go more to the lighter shades, because the bolder ones are too strong for day time :D Yes, I wear glitter in my everyday life. If I wait for special occasion I can't wear it as much as I want. I love the selection of this set and if you are looking a good glitter set I would recommend it. I know its pricy, but I trust Bellápierre as a company and I haven't had any issues with any of their products, including these glitters. If you are interested you can check it out here.

Review: Bellápierre Mineral Lipstick | Burlesque, Couture

Hi loves! Today I share with you Bellápierre Mineral Lipsticks in shade Burlesque and Couture (3.5g, $20.00).

The lipstick comes in a black tube. I like the shape of their tubes, because I can put them upside down and they stay. The reason I do it is that I would be able to see the shade, which is marked bottom of the lipstick tube.

Their lipsticks are formulated with natural waxes, pigments, iron oxides and antioxidants like vitamin C and E. These are 100% natural lipsticks, which are pigmented and the formula is cream.

These glide on easily and feel comfortable on lips. As you can see on the picture (left), the darker shade likes to grab on to everything. Its not easy shade to wear in winter, because my lips are not as smooth and this color just grabs on to every thing. I definetly need to scrub my lips before applying it and do lip mask. I have to pull all my beauty tricks out to makes this shade look beautiful on my lips.

• Couture - is a deep berry red with lilac sheen to it. Its unique shade and thats why I want to make it work.
• Burlesque - is dark pinky red shade. Perfect to brighten up any makeup look.

These do last better on my lips then other creamy lipsticks. Its not going to be as long lasting as liquid lipstick or matte lipstick. Its also not as drying. Its comfortable formula and it doesn't makeup my lips chapped.

Overall I'm happy with these new lipsticks in my collection. I love how they look and feel on lips, and I don't mind I have to work bit harder with one of the shades. If you wanna check these out for yourself I'll link them here. There is all together 14 shades to pick from.

Which is your favorite lipstick formula?

Review: Béllapierre Shimmer 9 Stack: Fabulous

Hi loves! This week I'll share with you guys something awesome from Béllapierre. I have finally ready to review their Shimmer 9 Stack in Fabulous ($90.00). This contains their 9 shimmer powders, which are loose shadows. All the shadows are stacked up on top of each other, so I can only open one at the time, but I like I can see them all at once and its compact, perfect for traveling ;)

I'll be showing a close up of all 9 shadows in this tower, because it didn't photograph very well when its all stacked up. Anyway you'll find the swaches down below.

These are all super pigmented pigments and perfect to glam up any eye look. I like to use these with glitter primer from NYX. Its also what I used on the swatches to make it stick better. Its just so much easier to use the pigments that way.

I have been wearing them on and off for sometime now and I really do love these as a lid color. The colors here are fun and bright. These also work well together and blend into each other easily and these also work well with other powder shadows in my collection.

The staying power of these shadows is amazing. I apply it in the morning and in the evening it looks as good as in morning. 

This set is pricy number (I bought it in Estonia and it was way less, I think it was around 50 euros), but it will last me very long time and it just makes me wanna use more color and get out of my comfort zone. If you have read my other blog Pink Frenzy (link) sometime then you know how much I'm stuck in my nudes. I need some color in my life! I think everyone needs for special occasion. Anyway down below you can see swatches of the four shadows above.

• Desire - is shiny pitch pink. I like its not too light.
• Hurly Burly - is gorgeous shimmery purple. 
• Ocean - is a bight icy baby blue. Here is a look I did with it.
• Provence - is a shimmery light purple.

Lets take a closer look of the other shadows in this stack. I'm sorry guys this post is so super long. But I love how pretty the shadows look in their little homes.

• Reluctance -  is golden olive green. Its so stunning shade and here is a look I did with it.
• Discoteque - is a brilliant light golden green. Its a perfect shade for fall.
• Tropic - is bright green. I really wanna do cut crease eye look with it.
• Celebration - is a gorgeous golden copper and here is a look I did with it.
• Cinnabar - is shimmery red.

I'm so happy with these shadows. I have another 9 stack from them, which contains only glitters. I need to work with it bit more and then it will be up here. Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know your favorite mineral makeup brand.

If you are interested in this set, you can find it here.

Best Natural Beauty in 2017

Hi loves! Last year went by me so fast and in the beginning of every year I like to do ultimate favorites post. I haven't done any of natural beauty faves, so its time to share all the fantastic products I tried in 2017.

Makeup:

I have been loving Ontic Minerals and I tried so much from the last year. One of my favorites are their Mineral Bronzers and I have shade Sunblessed and Chocolicious (3g, 18.95€, review). These blend like a dream on skin and give the look of natural tan, at the same time both of these give a natural glow to the skin. Both shades are absolutely gorgeous and worth checking out, if you wanna try natural cosmetics or are on a market for new bronzer. 

Continuing with Ontic Minerals, I have also added new Mineral Eyeshadows from them in my collection (review). Their eyeshadows are beautiful, specially the loose eyeshadows. They are intense, blendable and the packaging is awesome (there is no mess when using these). Hopefully I can add more colors into my collection this year. They do have some fun colors as well, which I have my eye on. I try to add more color into my looks and not just wear nudes ;)

Next is also Estonian brand and its Le'Maagi. Last year I tried their Eyeshadow in shade 24K Gold (review). The formula of this shadow is one of the best I have tried. It feels so creamy to the touch and the pigmentation of it is out of this world. What you see in the pan is what you get on the lid. I don't own any other eyeshadow, which preforms so well and looks so intense. It makes me wanna get every single shadow they make and see if all their shadows are so brilliant.

Next fave is from Bellapierre Cosmetics and its their Mineral Lipstick in shade Catwalk (review). The shade Catwalk is perfect everyday pinky nude. It goes well with any eye look, feels comfortable on lips and its long lasting for creamy lipstick. I already have picked up few more shades into my collection, which I'll share with you guys this year for sure, keep an eye out for that ;)

Skincare:

Lets continue with skincare faves and this year I didn't find many products to obsess over. One this, which is unique and worth mentioning is  Domina Elegans Golden Beauty Mask (review). This is a gel mask, which bubbles up when applied and get out all the dirt from the skin. I could feel it and my skin looked and felt amazing after using it (its also Estonian beauty brand). I have one of their other masks to try, but this is in my list of skincare items I wanna repurchase.

               

Next 2 items are from Aïcha and both have been new finds. I love their Cream Milk Cleanser and Salt Face Scrub (review). Both products are gentle to the skin. The cleanser is such a nice step in the morning to cleanse the skin and I love it doesn't dry out my skin and this applies to both products. If I want more hydration I remove the cleanser with toner. The scrub is brilliant as well. It gently remove off all the dirt and leaves my skin soft, smooth and hydrated. With both of these products I haven't felt any uncomfortable tightness on skin, which happens with so many other cleanser.  

Hair & Body:

               

Best hair care find this year is Blessix Hair Silk + Vitamins (review). This is also Estonian beauty brand, which I discovered when I was in Ilu Mess (its Estonian beauty event).  This is used on wet hair, before blowdrying. This gem provides hydration to the hair and also protects against the heat. Every time I use it my hair looks so shiny, healthy and its so much easier to tame it. My hair can be hard to work with, because its naturally dry and wavy. 

I have also used it on dry hair and that way it also works for me. It instantly hydrates, gives it shine and makes in manageable. I feel like I don't need to use as much hair oil when I have this hair spray in my routine.

The last awesome natural beauty product I discovered this year is Hoia Lavender, Rosemary & Grapefruit Bodywhip (review). If you are on a lookout for good hydrating body products, this is it. This feels light weight when scooped up and turns into oil when applied on skin. It keeps my skin hydrated all day and the next day and the next day. Its best thing ever!

This is all the awesome products I discovered this year. I'm so in love with every single one and highly recommend any of these items. 

What beauty products did you discover last year?

Review: Bellapierre Cheek & Lip Stain | Pink

Hi loves! I love cream blushes, because how fuss free its to use and I find cream blushes last longer on me. I have been using lately Bellapierre Cheek & Lip Stain in shade Pink ($20.00, 5g). Its also available in shade Coral.

This comes in a little plastic jar and the formula of it is oil free. It blends out super easily. I like to apply a bit of it on the my cheeks and blend out with more tense blending brush. It blends out evenly and I can build it up, if I want stronger looking blush. It might seem bit too pink, but on  pale skin tone it looks very flattering. Down below you can see a swatch of it and also the blended out version (on the right).

Once I set it with translucent powder, all the other powders apply on it as usually and there is no blotchiness, everything looks as it should. I'm really impresses with it and I feel I can use it with any eye look. Its so flattering tone of pink. 

I haven't used it on lips, so I can't comment on the staying power on there, but on cheeks it lasted on me all day with out fading or turning it blotchy mess. Also it hasn't broken me out or caused any irritation. Down below you can see all the ingredient list.

There is no scent to it and their products are not tested on animals. They also winner of Natural & Organic Awards Europe 2017. 

Ingredients: Octyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Cetyl Dimethicone Petrolatum, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Nylon-12, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Candelilla Cera (Candelilla Wax), Propylene Glycol Laurate, Copernicia Cerifera Cera (Carnauba Wax), Silica, Phenoxyethanol. May contain: +/- [Mica (CI 77091), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI77499) FD&C (CI 42090:2,CI 19140, CI1580:1, CI15850:2)].

All the info on the ingredients is from EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database (low hazard,medium hazard, high hazard). If I haven't colored an ingredient it means I didn't find it in the database. 

So far I have been really happy with everything I have tried from the brand. This is such a nice item to add into my mineral makeup collection. If you are interested in this, you can check it out here.
