Meraki Cosmetics – Zeus Loose Highlighter Powder Review

New cosmetics brand in the Netherlands created by make-up artist Kim ter Stege. The cosmetics line currently consists of 10 Loose Highlighter Powders. With shades ranging from the fairest to darkest skin tones. The loose highlighter powders are suitable for face, eyes, lips and body.

The first thing that attracted me to the brand is the name! I really wanted to get to know what Meraki meant and the meaning is very meaningful. I believe that Kim has chosen the perfect name for her brand.

“Meraki is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be.”

Meraki’s Loose Highlighter Powders Include

  • Colour Shifting – 4 Powders (The colour effect changes depending on the angle of viewing)
  • Fair/Medium Skin Tones – 3 Powders
  • Medium/Dark Skin Tones – 3 Powders

Zeus is the one that I purchased, it is described as a highly glowing bronze loose highlighter powder. The packaging is perfect and compact, it holds 4g. of product and can last a long time because a little can go a long way. Starting off it is best to use a light hand seeing that the highlighter is very finely milled.

Meraki Cosmetics is also vegan and cruelty free. It is stated on their website that no animal was harmed in the making of the products.

After using the product the only con that I can find is the packaging because of the holes in the container the product can be easily shaken and become messy. However, I have this same impression of the Sasha Buttercup Setting Powder which has a similar container.

Overall I would highly recommend purchasing the loose powder highlighter from Meraki Cosmetics because the products are highly pigmented and can be used in multiple ways. Adding the loose powder to the tear duct for a pop, lips for a shiny look or even to the collar bone area for a added highlight in your Christmas dress.

I purchased my Meraki Cosmetics Loose Highlighter for € 17,99. Currently there is a special code [XMASGLOW] that you can use for 15% off your order.

What are your thoughts on the shades & is there a particular one that you want to get your hands on?

LUSH|Mask of Magnaminty Review

<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/14018043/?claim=yhhunfpc7de”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

I got myself one of the LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics masks. All of LUSH’s items are HANDMADE, 100% VEGAN and they do not TEST ON ANIMALS (How great is that?). This brand has so many amazing items to choose from and they all smell so pleasant! You should definitely check out their store. For the past few weeks I have been OBSESSING about my skin because honestly speaking I deal with hyper-pigmentation and breakouts now and then. So I have been researching and looking for new things to help control and clear these problems.

The name of the item I got is Mask of Magnaminty, the amount of product is 125g and I purchased it for €8.60. This mask is a deep cleansing face and back mask. Two of the main ingredients are china clay which is great for acne prone skin and fresh peppermint that gives your face a tingly feeling. I love peppermint or tea tea oil in any item I use on my body or hair. It gives a very fresh clean feeling.
