PHB Ethical Beauty – Pressed Minerals 6 Piece Palette

The brand that gives back is back on The Amazing Blog! Regular readers will know that we’re fans of PHB Ethical Beauty, an award-winning, family-run company that gives 20 per cent of its net profits to charity. Check out our brand directory here to see all of their products we have reviewed. The next product to add to that list is the Pressed Minerals 6 Piece Palette in Night.

Keeping with the brand’s all-natural, cruelty-free, and handmade products, this pallet’s formula is made of pressed minerals including mica, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. Mica naturally reflects light, perfect for enhancing your eyes, while minimising the appearance of pores. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide create natural SPF30 protection, especially crucial when using the blushers during the daytime. The formula is gentle for use on all skin types (even sensitive and acne-prone skin) as it is 100 per cent natural, vegan, halal certified, gluten-free and paraben free.  

This pallet has four highly pigmented colours: Almond (a light cream), Onyx (a black with light flecks), Celestite (a periwinkle blue), and Grape (a purple with bronze undertones). Each colour offers a satin-like finish that looks gorgeous on any skin tone and will last all day or night. The pallet includes two blushers to finish your look: Camellia (a bright pink that matches the blooming flowers outside) and Peony (a subdued dark rosy colour ideal for a date-night look). Both diffuse nicely into cheeks with a makeup brush for a healthy glow. While this pallet advertises a night out look, the bright finish and versatility of the colours can create a perfect springtime look.

The four eye shadows and two blushers come in a sturdy, flat palette that includes magnetic sealing and a large mirror. You can try the Pressed Minerals 6 Piece Palette for yourself here for £49.95. While the price is quite high, we feel the organic ingredients are worth it plus the highly pigmented eye shadows have great staying power.

Mineral Make-Up - Munio Miscui

Keep up with the latest make-up trends is something we take very seriously here at The Amazing Blog. Everything is always modernizing including make-up and it’s important to keep you, our readers, updated about new products. A brand known for leaving your skin looking dewy and glowing this season, is Munio Miscui, with its Mineral Make Up collection. The natural look is always something we all desire as we want our skin looking healthy, fresh and bright all day long.

We were lucky enough to be sent a few items from this range to try, this range is suitable for all skin types and has a variety of different shades in the Mineral Foundation range. We recommend applying a primer before using any of these foundations to keep your face moisturised which will also help to keep the foundation's long-lasting effect on your skin. The mineral foundation glides easily onto your skin and is easily blended with a makeup brush or beauty blender. It is perfect as it does not leave the skin oily or shiny but has a natural effect. Following these advices avoids any creases in your make-up, gives you a matte finish look and will blur any wrinkles or fine lines as well. Another product from the collection is the Skin Perfecting Veil, which is a translucent mineral powder to complete makeup look with a natural smooth finish. This product comes in two shades: Nude, very light and Tinted for darker skin tones. We recommend using it after your foundation and concealer; many people use translucent powders under the eyes and any other areas you may want to highlight and brighten up. This product is perfect for diminishing the appearance of pores, blemishes and fine lines. We also received the Bronze Natural Colour Veil, a soft and light textured powder to give your skin a natural sun-kissed look. We suggest using this product with a large powder brush, also before applying the product to your face lightly tap any excess from the brush. You can blend the product over the face and onto your neck using a circular blending motion to create a smooth complexion. The last product we received was a Mineral Blush which you can find in nine different shades.  This is a powder form that sculpts, contours and accentuates your cheekbones to give a healthy glow to your skin tone. This product is easy to blend for a delicate touch of colour on your cheeks, plus brightens up your whole appearance.

If you want a flawless look these are the products for you, the Mineral Foundation is £23.00 and you can purchase this product here.  For a subtle bronze look purchase the Bronze Natural Colour Veil for £22.00 here or smoothen out any imperfections get the Skin Perfecting Veil here for £20.00 and the Mineral Blush  here for £20.00.

Trystal Minerals Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals - Vita Liberata

It is not a secret anymore that at The Amazing Blog, we are passionate about beauty especially about tanning products. So obviously we can’t resist trying the Trystal Minerals Self-Tanning Bronzing Minerals from Vita Liberata.

Available in two shades, Sunkissed (01) and Bronze (02), the powder offers an instant pure mineral bronzing along with lasting gradual tan results. Apply the powder over your liquid foundation or your moisturiser onto your face, neck and décolleté, and then the formula will develop into a tan that will last up to 5 days. Based on the Crystal Technology, the powder is composed of Micronized crystals that give you a smooth and healthy skin finish by reflecting light. It utilises Ecocert Dihydroxyacetone to tan the skin and give you a radiant glow. We fell in love with the lovely packaging and the handy kabuki brush included that makes application a breeze.
