Cosmetics à la Carte

Who doesn't love beautiful lips? Here at The Amazing Blog we love lipsticks that make our lips look naturally full and smooth, which is why we couldn't wait to try Cosmetics à la Carte’s Moisture Plus Collection.

Cosmetics à la Carte believes that make-up can be empowering and it can give women a chance to be the best version of themselves. The company strives to make its make-up comfortable, effortless and simple, and it does exactly that with its natural colours and ingredients.

We were thrilled to receive two Moisture Plus Lipsticks in the shades ‘Nearly Nude’ and ‘Ace of Hearts’, as well as the Waterproof Gel Lip Liner in ‘Invisible’. The Moisture Plus lipsticks are intensely pigmented and contain protective natural oils and wax, so you can have perfectly moisturised lips without sacrificing the longevity of colour.

Additionally, the gel lip liner has impressive long-lasting properties; you can wear it for up to 7 hours without re-application. How many lipsticks actually do that? The liner prevents your lipstick colour from bleeding, leaving you with a smooth, even lip, and it even creates a fuller looking lip. Containing Vitamins A, C and E, the Cosmetics à la Carte lipsticks are a treat for the lips, plus they are preservative free.  

The Moisture Plus lipsticks are available here for £23 each, and you can buy the Waterproof Gel Lip Liner here for £25.

Rouge Bunny Rouge - Raw Garden Palette in Chronos

Here at The Amazing Blog, we can’t get enough of Rouge Bunny Rouge. From eyeliners to face powders, everything we’ve tried has filled our beauty loving office with delight, so we were over the moon when they sent over their new limited edition Raw Garden Palette in Chronos. A selection of five beautiful metallic shades, it’s the perfect palette to have in your arsenal this autumn.

Although you can create a variety of looks with the shades, the selection was created with a smoky eye in mind. Envious of the smoky looks that graced the weekends’ LFW catwalks, we were keen to get creative with these divine hues. Of the five beautifully pigmented shades, we particularly enthralled with the lightest peachy shade, appropriately named ‘Champagne Pewter Highlighter’, as well as ‘Aged Bronze,’ a sumptuous olive colour, which blended together perfectly to create an autumnal sultry look. Adorned with a delicate hummingbird motif, all five colours are designed to complement any eye colour, and every one of them blended like a dream so that mastering our smoky gaze was a breeze for everyone in the office, from novice to expert. To put the icing on this deliciously metallic cake, the five pans are magnetic, so that if you aren’t happy with one of the colours, you can swap it out for your favourite Rouge Bunny Rouge shadow. Although, we can't see why anyone would want to part with any of these gorgeous shades.

If, like us, you can’t wait to start dusting these beautiful hues over your lids, then head over to the Rouge Bunny Rouge website, where you can purchase the Raw Garden Chronos Palette for £43.82.  You can also browse the rest of Rouge Bunny Rouge's make-up delights here.
