Reflection Organics Make-up Review

makeup review 2/15/2017

What are my thoughts after trying out the organic make-up which I had received from Reflections? Let us first take a look at the products.

♥︎ Mineral Eye Shadow in Pink Garnet
There are a total of 16 natural, blendable shades available.

These mineral eye shadow are very wearable and long-lasting color. A tiny bit is all you need and you can blend them lightly over your eye lids. Adding more mineral powder would create a stronger look. By the way, these shades can be customised by blending with foundation or mixing with lip colors.

Instructions for Use:
Load up the bristles with shadow powder, tap off the excess, and gently press shadow onto your eyelids. This helps to prevent powder fallout from the brush tip.

I don't usually like mineral make-up, and true enough I didn't like the shadow powder when I used it for the first time as I find the look I had created was too strong and heavy (suits a night look more than a day look). I did not expect the shadow powder to be so pigmented.

Hence, I tried to reduce the amount of the powder to half of what I've used the second time I put them on, and was amazed that it worked for me for the day look.

The trick is to apply only a little of the powder, dust off the excess and blend on your lids, adding more of them if you need the pigment to be stronger. Don't be greedy and pick up too much of these as you will find your eyes over done. You only need a tiny little bit of it as these powders are really pigmented, they lasted a full day for me and i love its beautiful shade. You can also use this as a base colour and add on more colours if you like.

Ingredients:
Mica, Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Zinc Oxide, Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Retinyl Palmitate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol. May Contain: Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Ultramarines (CI 77007)
Next up is the...

♥︎ Camouflage Cream in Au Naturel
88% Organic | Gluten-Free | Vegan | Cruelty-Free

This Makeup is beneficial for your skin as it is rich in Vitamin E, contains organic coconut, cocoa seed butter, castor seed, and jojoba seed oil, this hydrating concealer heals and nourishes skin while keeping it flawlessly dewy. It is available in five natural shades.

Instructions for Use:
Apply on targeted areas, let product sit on skin for a few seconds, then gently blend it into skin with fingertips. The warmth from your fingers will work with the natural oils to melt the product into the skin for a flawless finish.

I tried to use a brush to pick up the product and find myself struggling to dig it out. The cream is quite dry and impossible to pick up. I have to dig my brush through it. I find it difficult to blend on my skin too and it did not provide enough coverage other than around the under eye and tiny spots. For major spots, and reddish skin areas, it did not really work for me. Therefore, it is recommended that you pick it up with your fingers and work it in your skin slowly.

Ingredients:
*Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, *Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, *Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, *Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, *Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, May contain [+/-]: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Tocopherol , *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.(*Certified Organic)
Last but not least...

♥︎Lip Glaze - Roasted Cherry
90% Organic | Gluten-Free | Vegan | Cruelty-Free

Drench your lips with this delectable collection that is infused with certified organic, antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, essential oils and pigments. This rich blend of shea butter and coconut oil delivers lasting hydration and superior shine without the stickiness.

Available in 14 luscious shades.

Instructions for Use:
Use on its own or over Lip Butter.
I liked this lip glaze on its own as its smells delicious and feels moisturizing enough. It has a deep purple shade which is a trendy shade and fits into my normal look. A little goes a long way, you do not have to use too much of the product unless you want a strong purple lip look. I tried it for the first time and find myself too gothic.

The second time I used a thin layer and liked how it looked but it did not last as most of it were "eaten" away by me as I went on a food trail. I guess I have to find the right balance, but overall I quite liked the lip glaze in terms of its moisturizing factor and colour pay off .

Ingredients:
*Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil,*Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, *Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, *Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Kaolin, *Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, *Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa Butter), *Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Powder, *Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E), *Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Extract, *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, *Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Vanilla Planifolia. May Contain: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77499) (CI 77491), (CI 77492). (*Certified Organic)

Reflections - Organic beauty with a difference (Event Invitation)

makeup 1/23/2017

I was very excited to be at the launch of Reflections Organics Make-up last week held at Picnic (Wisma Atria). The event space was beautifully decorated with the Chinese New Year mood and it has a Eco garden feel. I don't even feel like I am indoors.

About Reflection Organic Make-up:
They use 100% vegan and cruelty-free formulations, sans synthetics and parabens. With a diverse array of professional shades to choose from, Reflections hopes to challenge the stereotypes surrounding organic makeup by providing high-performing, pigmented quality that remains nourishing to skin. Believing that beauty begins within, Reflections wants to empower women by creating makeup that actually benefits and improves their skin.

You may notice that the logo for Reflections looked like a butterfly. This symbolises the beauty of a women being transformed.

There were plenty of their products on display and I managed to lay my hands on some to try out the the texture and smell the product.

There is a piece of good news to share with all of you as you have been my fellow supporters for quite awhile now.

From now till 31 Mar 2017, quote "ROPearly17" to be entitled to 10% off all products on https://www.reflectionsorganics.com/.

The pressed eye shadow comes in various shades and they are highly pigmented, contrary to what others believe about organic make-up that they are light and non pigmented.

These are their range of lip butter which smells like cupcakes. They are vegan and gluten free, made with Jojoba, avocado and coconut oils. They almost seem edible.

Pressed Mineral Blush in Peach Tulip, Cherry Blossom and Water Lily.

Pressed Mineral Foundation of various shades.

Organic Liquid Foundation.

Lip Glaze that smelled amazing too. There were plenty of shades to choose froom, ranging from the transparent, glittery, shades of pink, nude and reds.

Nerissa, founder of Reflections Organics shared with us the story behind Reflections as well as the myths of Organic make-up and the efforts of her charity work in contributing back to the society.

Let me share with you the 4 main reasons for choosing Organic make-up:

Organic make-up not only beautifies you, it heals and improves your skin as you apply them, as the ingredients which they are made from nourishes your skin.
The mineral make-up gives you sun protection as they contain titanium oxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide. These helps in lowering the risk from you getting skin cancer.
Using Organic make-up protects our future generations as they do not contain harsh chemicals.
Nourish the environment as ingredients are obtained from organic farms which are better for the plants, living creatures and human beings.It was followed by a beauty demonstration using Reflection Organic's cosmetic with a day and night look done on Emilie Tan the vegan ultra-marathoner who is currently pregnant to show that organic make-up is safe for use on pregnant woman too.

Thanks to June's creative idea, we had the opportunity to make our own dried flower mandala or dream catcher as some call this. It was very fun to put together these dried flowers and they look so artistic. We were also given a goodie bag before we left.

Thank you Boxgreen for the healthy fruit and nut snacks, Puvay for the chia lite collagen drink and Reflections Organics for the lovely goodie bag of make-up with the lovely peach box.

Let me share with you my thoughts after trying out the organic make-up which I had received from Reflections. I have been playing with them for awhile now and I am looking forward to sharing with you a little more about them on a separate post.
