Black highlighter and paper blush: 8 products for those who have everything
Text: Roxana Kiseleva
Although economically the times have come difficult, we still experience the test of consumerism: we buy more, but we experience less joy. This year's spring collections of luxury brands have clearly shown that the “cosmetics like a toy” format is still interesting for the audience, and the enduring popularity of Korean products, the main source of inspiration for the western beauty industry, confirms this once again. Especially for those who are already discouraged by matte lipstick and contouring, we have found eight unusual beauty products.
Milk Makeup Lip Marker
$20
In addition to anything in the sticks, who glorified the brand, in its assortment there are also pencils, shadows, concealers and lipsticks. In an unusual format of markers similar to textual ones, Milk released a liner, not the most successful because of the thickness of the applicator, and a pleasant lip product in the texture of a classic tint - bright and durable. Milk still has no international delivery, so when traveling around America, grab a pair of markers for girlfriends who are fond of glitters and lipsticks. Even if you do not guess the color, at least pleasantly surprise.
Hex-Bomb Black As Your Soul Bath Bomb
£3,99
We love Lush for inexhaustible fantasy in terms of bathing relaxation, but some things have not yet been thought of. For example, a black bath bomb could be a best-selling Halloween collection, but no. In the meantime, major brands are in no hurry to make contact with a darker audience than fans of unicorns, explore indie brands: Hex-Bomb will have black and even blood-red bath bombs. And, if you believe reviews from instagram, pigment for them do not regret.
Blush Antonym Cosmetics
$36
Antonym Cosmetics is an ideal story from the world of organic fans: the products of the brand are certified by Ecocert and Vegan Action, are not tested on animals and do not contain GMOs (whatever that may mean). But the brand is interesting to us for a completely different reason - the shadows and powders of Antonym are packed in cases from real bamboo, and this is impossibly graceful.
Glitter for Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss
$24
Butter London, we love primarily for nail polishes, but almost nothing is heard about cosmetic products of this brand. Meanwhile, their eye shadow jelly received a lot of positive feedback and managed to light up on the three millionth channel of Laura Lee. The glitters of Glazen Eyegloss are not just beautiful, but also curious with their unusual texture, reminiscent of the latest insanity of YouTube users - slimes, and if in Russian, they are just lizuny. The collection is presented in seven shades, our choice is silver metallic Mermaid and burgundy duochrome Oil Slick
Original & Mineral travel set
$33
If Muji has aestheticized our cosmetic bags for traveling to perfection, then the set of miniatures Original & Mineral you want to store in the bathroom and use it only on big holidays, so beautiful it is. The set contains everything you need for daily hair care (namely, two shampoos, balsam and two masks) and is ideal for exploring the brand. In the end, for this, many travel kits and buy, and take on rest already proven funds.
Rituel de Fille Eclipse Cream Pigment
$29
First, somewhere we have already seen it. Secondly, the anti-lighter (as the brand positioned it initially) should rather be called a matte product, not black, but brilliant. Otherwise, this is an excellent tool for those who have already played enough with traditional makeup schemes and are ready for an adult party. Jeffree Star Onyx Ice’s highlighter is distinguished by a creamy texture and a smaller volume, which is rather a plus than a minus: with active use on the lips, cheekbones and eyelids, four grams of anti-lighter will leave in less than a year and free up space for new cans.
Napkins with Mai Couture cosmetic products
from $ 15
Blush in the format of napkins - sounds like an idea of the cosmetic world of the future from the films of the eighties. And here they are already here, available for purchase, and with them a bronzer and even a highlighter. Pleasure, frankly, expensive, and the word "couture" in the name of the brand is not without reason, but for almost a unique idea and the ability to facilitate the bag is a temptation to overpay.
Frank Body Body Scrub
$19,95
Jess Hetzis and Bree Johnson can be called queen scrubs without a doubt: in just four years, the girls turned Frank Body from a tiny startup into a popular brand that brings $ 20 million each year. How honest the brand’s pricing policy is for $ 17 for a pack of coffee grounds with added oils in Frank Body is not for us to judge, but it seems impossible to go past the last launch. One of the first to get a brilliant body scrub in a holographic package, more than 50 thousand people signed up on a waiting list.
