Dear Dahlia Dazzling Beauties

 Dear Dahlia has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing brands I’ve ever come across.

Presented in exquisite packaging and compacts featuring elegant white and grey marbling with rose gold detailing, it’s a brand that screams luxury.



Dear Dahlia is a luxury vegan beauty brand inspired by the Dahlia flower and its timeless beauty.

As a brand they believe in timeless beauty that is classic but never ordinary and strive to offer high-performance cosmetics that are effortless to apply.



Committed to redefining luxury vegan beauty, all of their high-performance products are infused with Dahlia Variabilis flower extract that offers proven skin-conditioning properties to offer long-lasting protection and benefits for your natural glow.

Their gorgeous makeup range is also enriched with certified skin-nourishing ingredients, including shea butter, cacao seed butter, sweet almond oil and argan oil, to name but a few.




I had the absolute pleasure of testing out a few of their stunning cosmetics items and I was not disappointed with the results.

Just look at their Mesmerizing Moment Collection Palette in Golden Goddess.

Mesmerizing could not be a more appropriate name for this breath-taking palette.

 


Lift the elegant mirrored lid of this chic palette to reveal a carefully curated selection of eight dazzling shades in a selection of velvety mattes, silky shimmers and high sparkle glitter finishes.

Buttery and smooth in texture, they offer a powerful colour payoff, excellent blend and buildability and a truly gorgeous finish.




Reminiscent of a goddess’ radiant aura, you’ll find the following stunning shades;

Aura: A shimmery ivory shine

Lavish: A glittery desert sand

Wisdom: A matte caramel cream

Majestic: A shimmery bronze brown



Beauty: A sparkly copper pink

EGO: A Matte brick orange

Crown: A sparkly sunset gold

Intense: A matte dark sienna

Infused with the brands Dahlia Variabilis Flower Extract, the shadows not only look incredible but their skin conditioning elements help to protect and look after your skin too.  




Sticking with dazzling eyes, I also got to grips with the Dear Dahlia Paradise Shine Eye Sequins.

These octagonal vessels of pure magic combine high shine pearls and glitter to create the most dazzling eyes.

 


Available in 12 shades and absolutely perfect for the forthcoming party season, these lightweight, water-based shadows feature an innovative whipped texture which glides across your lids before quickly locking down for maximum, multi-dimensional shimmer with minimum fallout and flaking.

They boast a super gentle formula with no heavy metal powders or nanoparticles and are infused with the patented Dahlia Flower Extract and certified organic Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil to nourish and protect the delicate eye area.

 


Vegan and cruelty free, the antioxidant rich Variabilis Flower Extract helps to protect the skin against harmful environmental aggressors such as blue light and pollution, which can damage and prematurely age your complexion.

I do love these makeup-skincare hybrids!

I tested out three of the 12 shades in;



Love Drunk: A strawberry with bronze glitter

Angel Tears: A pink beam glitter

Enchanted: A pink quartz glitter

To use, unscrew the rose gold lid to reveal an applicator wand with a soft tip.

Swipe the shadow directly onto your eyelids before using your fingers or brush to blend and its really as simple as that.

 


Silky and light in texture, the sequin shadow is neither greasy nor sticky and has a pleasant cooling effect on contact with your skin.

The glitter and shimmer particles are fairly evenly distributed to ensure even coverage and once dried I was really impressed by their durability.

I expected to find a lot of shimmer descending over my face throughout the day but to my surprise they stayed locked in place.

 



Designed to be worn alone or over the top of other shadows, they create a gorgeous sparkle and multi-dimensional effect that will certainly get you noticed wherever you go.

You can get your hands on Dear Dahlia’s Paradise Shine Eye Sequins from LookFantastic where they cost £28 each and the Mesmerizing Moment Golden Goddess palette is available from the Dear Dahlia website and costs $58.00.

Clinique Lid Smoothies



Let it be known, that I, Sarah, am completely and utterly in love with this product.

I love the product, I love the packaging, I love the squeezy tube, I love the application tip, and I really love their name. 

What are they? Clinique Lid Smoothies.

Top-Bottom: Currant Affair, Cashew Later, Born Freesia, Seventh Heather & Cute Cumber
  
These pretty little tubes of pure gorgeousness contain creamy, crease-resistant eye colour which lasts for 8 hours. 

Available in 12 stunning shades, the eye colour instantly cools thanks to its unique applicator. 

Top-Bottom: Currant Affair, Cashew Later, Born Freesia, Seventh Heather & Cute Cumber

The nourishing ingredients blanket the lid in smoothing goodness while the antioxidants help to protect the delicate skin around the eye-area.



My favourite shade is Born Freesia, a pretty violet shade which can built up to create whatever look you wish.

  A small amount of product goes a long way and creates a pretty, subtle, muted tone, yet built up it becomes a stunning shade of violet.


 Tip: While it is the unique application tip that creates the ‘cooling’ sensation on your eyes (which feels divine by the way) I found it easier to squeeze a little bit of product onto a brush (or fingers) and apply to the eyelid and blend that way. 

Clinique Lid Smoothies are available at various department stores and from Clinique online for £17 each.
