Ok, so these products seem to be fairly new on the market and there has been a slight hype around them in the last year or so. I finally got my hands on them when we started to stock them where I work ( McCabes Pharmacy ). I had been dying to try them for ages so was only delighted.
These products are known for being a mineral based makeup and I know most of you are thinking 'what does that even mean?' . Well mineral makeup is made up of natural ingredients which are good for our skin. (People who suffer from break outs or are sensitive to a lot of makeup, this is a prefect substitute for you). It doesn't sink into the skin and pores like other types of makeup do, therefor it doesn't block up the pores which is the main reason why other products can be harsh to the skin . Apparently pure mineral makeup binds to oil instead of water which makes it some what water resistant. Which is always a bonus!
Ok, so if I was to go on it would get a little (alot) boring. All you need to know is that mineral makeup is good for you! yay.
The three products that I picked up was their:
- i-Divine: 'oh so special' palette
I am so in love with this palette. It is so cheap an retails at €9.99 in any McCabes pharmacy.
I always use this palette to create a pinky/purple smokey eye. Its quickly becoming one of my favorite palettes. Each of the 12 shades a so wearable with some matte colours and some shimmer colours to take you from night to day. They do have good pigment and are very long lasting however I always using my Urban decay: eye shadow primer potion just to give it that little extra staying power. Seriously go out and get this product! you will not regret it trust me.
What I love about this palette is that the colours double as eye shadow so you get even more for you money! It retails at around €12.99 and to be honest I am so in love with them as eye-shadows. The three colours together create the most prefect winter eye. The are such lovely warm tones. Two matte colours and one shimmery colour which just complement each other so well. They would suit any skin tone from really pale to really tan as it gives a beautiful warmth to the face. People have stopped me anytime I wear these as an eye shadow which lets me know I must share them with you guys! try it out for yourself if your looking for a orangey/cranberry eye look, which would be prefect this christmas.

The thing I just love about these little pocket size lip polishes is their smell. It just amazing its made with Shea butter and that smell is just heaven for me, and as we all know shea butter is such a good moisturizer in general. Any body moisturizer that I buy you can guarantee that it has shea butter in it! I'm addicted. The second thing I love about these are the colours! they come in a wide range of colours from plum to coral. I always carry a pocket size Vaseline in by bag with me anywhere I go because its just an essential especially with the cold winter months are lips are most likely to be chapped but these little polishes are much more glamour then your run of the mill Vaseline and are just brill for a simple pop of colour.
Price: €5.49
I will definitely be extending my sleek collection very soon. I hope you enjoyed this review, if you buy any of the products featured let me know what you think of them!
