Purminerals has been hitting it out of the park with their
gorgeous eye shadows and the Soul Mattes Palette is one I've been using daily
for contouring and defining my everyday looks. Not only are the textures luxurious, the quality is
fantastic with no creasing or fading even in the summer heat!
This crush worthy palette has 8 ultra chic shades that are ideal
for everyday looks; in fact I wear these warm hues most frequently
as they compliment my outfits and most shades of lipstick. What I love most
is that the finishes are expertly crafted for use. When palettes have too much
shimmer and not enough matte for balance you can end up with more glam than
you bargained for. This palette also includes shimmer-free brown and black for
deepening the crease and a pretty cream color that makes a wonderful brow
highlight.
The shimmer shades include hues that are consistently trendy
including rose gold, and three other gold-bronze hues that compliment all
complexions. I do think a bit more color variation would have been a nice touch
but I am definitely pleased with the velvety texture and ease of application. The palette is also great for travel and since it is suitable for both day and night I don't have to pack any other shadows.
The rich smoothness and high impact pigmentation makes it easy to enhance the colors and the coverage is excellent! You can go from a sheer wash of luminous shimmer to
golden goddess with the swipe of a brush and although primer is not required to intensify the beautiful, satiny-metallic finish it does increase the vibrancy. The compact also comes with a
rather large eye shadow brush which is a tad bulky for the eyes but still does a
decent job at patting on color and blending. It retails for $35.00.
I haven’t had much luck when it comes to marker-like lip
products because the finish is usually very drying and sets into the texture of
lips. Although the Pout Pen Lip Stain and Hydrating Balm Duo does have a pointed
marker tip the effect isn't as flat and the other side has a translucent balm for a boost
of moisture.
I like the fruity apricot, peach scent and Fuzzy Navel is a pretty coral which is totally trendy for the season. The felt applicator is
easy to use and the shape helps contour and outline the lips. When worn without
the balm the stain has good staying power and a very subtle flush loaded with
nutritive vitamin C. When you slather the balm on top the texture of the stain transforms
into more of a cream and becomes susceptible to transferring and
smudging.
The stain applies very lightweight and the sheer, color is
tinted beautifully for a pouty, juicy finish that is natural and comfortable. It retails for $21.00 and is available in an array of delectable hues.
