Spedizione praticamente immediata, verso l'Italia con raccomandata assicurata.
Ho ordinato alcuni samples di fondotinta e di finishing powder, due blushes, un correttore (mi riservo di recensirli in seguito), e infine il prodotto che recensirò oggi: il rossetto biologico minerale (nuova formulazione rispetto a quella del passato) colore "Hollywood Pink".
Per il momento è il prodotto che più mi ha impressionata.
E' morbido, scrivente ma non troppo (si può indossare anche senza matita e a mano libera, non sbava), ed è IPER pigmentato! bellissimo. E' cremoso, corposo e un po' lucido (non come un gloss, ma non è di certo matt, intendo). Inutile dire che è anche resistentissimo, a fine giornata certamente non è intatto come un rossetto no-transfer, ma lascia una tinta ben visibile e definita sulle labbra fedele al colore iniziale, lasciando le labbra morbidissime e nutrite.
Sarà sicuramente un fedele compagno invernale. :)
Molto bello usato sia da solo che in accoppiata ad un gloss.
La profumazione è esclusivamente naturale, e l'ho trovata gradevole anche se avrei preferito qualcosa di fruttato o cioccolatoso.
I colori sul sito non sono fedelissimi, almeno per quanto riguarda Hollywood Pink: nella realtà si tratta di un rosa acceso tendente ai toni freddi, quasi fluo, un colore non facile da descrivere. L'unico simile che finora ho visto è in un lip tar della OCC uscito di recente, colore NYLON (eccolo QUI , anzi guardando questi swatches comparativi direi che è Hollywood Pink è un incrocio tra Nylon e Anime). Ma bando alla ciance e lasciamo parlare le immagini (non è stato facile fotografare questo colore, è davvero molto particolare):
I've recently received my first order from the site of british mineral make up "Elemental Beauty".
Immediate shipping, signed-for to Italy.
I ordered some samples of their foundations and of their matt finishing powder, two blushes, a concealer (I'll review them in the near future), and the item that I'm going to talk about today: their Organic Mineral Lipstick (new formula), in shade "Hollywood Pink".
Since now, is the product that impressed me the most.
It's soft but not too much (you can wear it alone, without lipliner and lip brush is not necessary, it doesn't smudge you just have to be careful because of its pigmentation), and it's SUPER pigmented, saturated! fantastic. Its texture is creamy and a bit glossy (not like a real lipgloss, I just mean it's not matt). It is also long lasting, at the end of the day it isn't perfect as a no-transfer lipstick, of course, but it leaves a beautiful and well defined tint to the lips as bold as its originary colour, and it also leaves the lips really soft and nourished.
It will be a great winter-companion, for sure. :)
It's great also with a gloss on top.
The smell is due only to essential oils, and I found it pleasant, even if I'd prefere a fruity of chocolaty/gourmand one.
I have to say that colours on the site aren't soooo accurate, at least the picture of Hollywood Pink: in person it's a hot pink on the cool side, almost fluo, a shade not easy to describe. The only similar shade I've seen is a lip tar by OCC, a new entry, its name is NYLON (HERE IT IS, by the way, looking at these comparison swatches I'd say that Hollywood Pink is something between Nylon and Anime).
But... stop talking and let the pictures speak themselves (it's been a hard job to photograph the exact shade):
