Natio Lip Butter & Daniel Sandler Invisible Blotting Powder


This week I’ve been loving two products in particular.


With the weather seemingly unable to make its mind up, my skin has been battered with cold and rain then baked and burnt by the warm sun and humidity.

It’s hard to know which products to use when you’re never sure what your going to face when you step out the front door, but these two products have served me well!


Natio Mineral Lip Butter in LOVING

This gorgeous little pot offers just the right amount of pigment and moisturising benefits without being either too cakey or too oily.

Infused with pure mineral pigments, the two in one butter has a revitalising hint of peppermint to gently invigorate your lips while the extracts of Sweet Almond, Jojoba and Vitamin E ensure your lips are soft and nourished.

I love this as in summer, lippie tends to dry my lips out and some lip balms can end up melting off my lips and dribbling down my chin.

Attractive

This little gem ensures that I’m left with a pretty, sheer, natural colour and  silky, soft, smooth lips. 

AND it's only £7!

Daniel Sandler Invisible Blotting Powder
 I have combination/oily skin so tend find myself with an oil slick on my face just a few hours after freshly applying my make up.

Never is this worse than in summer when the hot, humid weather seems to call out to my pores, enticing them to produce more oil which leaves me looking a greasy mess.

 In the past I’ve simply applied more powder to hide the shine, but this ends up adding more colour to my very naturally pale skin and i end up looking orange by the end of the day.

No more

Say hello to Daniel Sandler's  Invisible Blotting Powder.  This does what it says on the tin.

The product  is an invisible (translucent)  powder which banishes shine without altering the shade of your foundation.

The shine- free, technologically advanced formula doesn’t  cake or dry out your skin, it simply leaves you with a gorgeous, matte complexion.
If you look closely, you can just see the light, transparent powder on the skin (NOTE: I've swatched this and added more than usual so you can see the powder)

 If you have oily skin, this product will change your life. Trust me! 

So, have any of you used either of these products? What do you think of them?

The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals Collection

The Body Shop is the latest company to cotton on to the benefits of mineral make up and this September sees the launch of their Extra Virgin Minerals collection.



The range consists of a Cream Compact Foundation with SPF15 (£16), a Liquid Foundation with SPF30 (£14) and a Loose Powder Foundation with SPF25 (£15).

 The range is the first mineral make-up collection from The Body Shop to feature a combination of 100% community Fair Trade pure cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and ultra fine mineral pigments.
I tested out their liquid foundation and loose powder foundation.



As i have greasy skin, my preferred foundation is usually powder- that said, the liquid foundation was very pleasant. It was lovely and light and provided good coverage without being too thick in consistency.

As suspected, it was the powder foundation that was a real winner for me.

Deliciously light and silky but capable of providing good enough coverage in areas which required it by layering it on with your brush.



In all, their combination of SPF, minerals, fragrance and paraben free ingredients  make the foundations a great all round buy, and the fact that they are suitable for sensitive skin makes them an even bigger winner.

You can buy the foundations from The Body Shop website here.
