Pure Minerals Cream Blush

-

Apr 14, 2014

Here is another news from Pür Minerals - Château Cheeks CREAM BLUSH which is a cream blush and is available in two very nice colors.

Pure Minerals launches 6 new blushes in the spring, of which 4 are honest powder blushes while 2 colors are cream blushes.

And just like the other news from Pür Minerals I wrote about, they also contain resveratrol - an antioxidant that is extracted from red wine and harvested exclusively for Pür in the Bordeaux wine region. Resveratrol erases wrinkles, lines, and increases cell life.

Also contains, among other things:
Tamanu oil - Cares for the skin and stimulates cell renewal.
Vitisin - Lightening effect on dark spots for a smoother skin tone.
Lupine protein - Increases the skin's radiance and shimmer.

Contains not Mineral oil, petroleum jelly or lanolin oil, and does not clog pores.

And I have to say that I definitely give a thumbs up for these! I like that the creams are the same packaging as the powder blushes, because it is possible to apply the cream blush with a blush brush just like I usually do. This is the technology I like the most!

The cream blush blends very well into the skin, the color becomes pigment-rich and can be obtained both colorful and discreet, gives a nice glow, is easy to apply even with its regular blush brush and both colors Coy and Flirt are super nice!

It feels a little different to apply a cream blush, even though you can use the brush as usual. At first, quite a lot of pigment ends up on the first part of the cheek you touch with the brush, but then it is easy to work with the blush that slides easily over the cheek. So start by applying the blush on the "apple cheek" because you want the most focus on the eyes. Then work behind the blush with light movements towards the top of the ear.

As usual, I have a very hard time getting the blushes to be seen in pictures when I have applied, it "disappears" as in the pictures. But I offer some product pictures, and then you simply get a little on me that they will be as nice on the cheek as I say;)

Flirt is my favorite shade, as I love bright pink blush both when I am pale and more tanned. It always works! If you apply thin, it will be a discreet light pink, and if you want more colorful, it is easy to apply a little more.

Coy is also really nice, and a more natural and soft shade.

I can not find the blushes on any webshop, but they are on Pür Minerals' website so I think they have already started to be sold! It will probably come to Eleven.se soon also for those of you who prefer internet shopping :) SEK 225 is the recommended price.

Two guidelines you can follow when applying the blush to facilitate, is not to apply closer to the nose is the outside of the iris of the eye - and no further down the cheek than as long as the nose is. Then you adapt the blush to your own face shape!

Thumbs up I say! The flirt blush will be used extensively during the spring and summer!

Here is a very "practical" make-up that fits basically everything!

It is both light and dark, casual and festive depending on the outfit, and fits all eye shapes, glasses, skin tones, clothing colors and so on.

Matched to, for example:
- Nice set and summery lips, it works for prom, wedding, student.
- Curly hair and colorful lips, it works for parties and such events.
- Braided, everyday-released, tassel and neutral lips, it works as everyday make-up. Especially under a pair of glasses when it will be visible a little less.

1 Light eye shadow in the corner of the eye, in the inner part of the eyelid and under the brow, Annika's Favorite Shadow.
2. Brown eye shadow smoked at the end of the eyelid and along the globe line, nudh mineral eye shadow (Cacao Brown)
3. The same brown eye shadow smoked along the lower lash line.
4. Black eye shadow sooty on the outside of the eyes, Emite Makeup Micro Eyeshadow (Ladies)
5. White eyeliner along the waterline, IsaDora Inliner Kajal (50 Satin White)
6. Black eyeliner along the upper and lower lash line, Yves Rocher Eyeliner (Black)
7. Black mascara on all lashes, Pür Minerals Big Look Waterproof Mascara (not yet available for purchase)

Lip-gloss, Rituals Lip Gloss Longlasting (Bright Coral)

Hope you have a wonderful end to the week!

Hugs from me ♥

How I style my hair

“Oh so nice. How do you get your hair so heavenly nice? Which products e.g. Can you not make a post about it :-) ”

I have received a lot of compliments since I dyed my hair more naturally blonde and put in extensions from Hair Talk. It really makes me super happy! :)

Many people say that it is so much work with long hair, but I experience it just the opposite! I do not have to do much at all anymore to get a really nice surge. Which partly depends on the length and thickness of the hair, but also because Hair Talks hair extensions and products is so good and gives such a natural result!

People who do not read my blog (because they already know) are shocked when I say that my hair is hair extensions, because it really is not visible even though I barely spend 5 minutes styling it!

This is how I do it:
1. Sleeps in braid. Sometimes one, sometimes two, depending on how wavy the result is.
2. Releases the braid and brushes through with Hair Talk Extension Brush which is developed for extensions.
3. Lubricate the tops and a little up the lengths with Hairtalk spitzen fluid (hair oil).
4. Spray the entire hair with Hairtalk Conditioner (moisturizing spay).
5. Ends with LCC Good To Go dry shampoo in the scalp.

Then I'm actually done, I do not feel I need to do much more! I shower my hair about every 4 days.

The bangs were a slanted bangs from the beginning, and when I put in the loose hair I decided on the middle legs - so then the bangs ended up on both sides. Hairdresser Lynn on Creative Zone cut it a little so that it would look good for the new length, and it turned out so well that when I style, I usually pull the bangs loops aside with a little hair oil in my hands, then it will be good right away!

So I use straighteners very rarely, I flattened it when I was at the Swedish Beauty & Cosmetics Awards and the next outcome will probably be extra curly with the help of forceps, but on a daily basis I prefer the natural curls you get from braid!

Are you curious about Hair Talks products? In such cases I can make more posts with more detailed information about them :)

You seemed to like the palette from Front Cover that I used for the make-up in this post.

Therefore, I now thought to show you the colors a little better, and also explain in more detail how their Shadow Glow works!

It was Grass Hopper and Cajun Heat that I used the most for my makeup. But I am also eager to try Dark Night for a dark sweep, exciting!

I had Candy Cane as a highlight in the corner of my eye.

The shade Pale Powder, I am really eager to try, what a nice spring color! The eyeliner that comes with it is also good, creamy and glides easily on the eyelid!

The kit also contains Shadow Glow - a liquid that makes the eye shadows more glossy and metallic, as well as a small plastic bowl.

Drizzle in a few drops in the bowl.

Moisten an eyeshadow brush, remove excess liquid on the hand if it becomes too much. I did not use any of the brushes that came with it, as my own ones appeal to me more.

Then just apply eye shadow with the damp brush, and apply on the eyelid!

My personal opinion is that this concept is fun and smart, but the palette is crazy too big for me to think it is practical. Besides, it's getting thumbs up! :)

Hug!
