Let's start with The Organic Skin Co The Luminous Liquid Foundation. This foundation comes in an easy to use pump bottle and the actual foundation is light and is easy to apply and blend into the skin. It gives the skin a medium coverage, easily covering minor pigmentation, blemishes and redness, while a concealer is required for my larger areas of pigmentation and dark circles under my eyes (both no doubt not made any better by being almost 38 weeks pregnant!) And while the foundation gives the skin a medium coverage, it still manages to make my skin look very natural and give it a nice radiant glow, without looking to shimmery. It lasts quite well on my combination skin throughout the day without settling into fine lines or changing colour, and only requires a quick touch-up for by the afternoon, but that is pretty standard for my skin type. It has a slightly odd scent, which however quickly fades, but I put it down to not containing any artificial fragrances, but rather being chock full of organic antioxidants, oils and minerals that care for the skin as you wear it. Made with 72.95% organic ingredients.
Next up is The Organic Skin Co Botanical Loose Mineral Foundation, which has been infused with botanicals including calendula and pomegranate to help regenerate and nourish the skin, as well as it includes kaolin clay that helps draw out impurities and absorb surface oils. The foundation is best applied with a large brush such as a kabuki brush. It only gives the skin a very light coverage, although you can build it up slightly where needed, while still looking very natural and soft look, and far from cakey or powdery like many other powder foundations. And it really does stay put all day, without settling into my fine lines and without the dreaded mid-afternoon, so no doubt the added kaolin clay does prove beneficial. In saying that, I would have loved it to have a slightly better coverage to cover my increasing pigmentation, and old acne scarring, so consequently I have instead been enjoying using it on top of the Luminous Foundation, which works wonders, and when applied first thing in the morning, it makes the foundation stay shine free all day too. Made from pure minerals and botanicals. Available in three shades plus a translucent.
The Organic Skin Co Cream Blush, is a soft cream blush is so quick and easy to use. You
simply dab your finger tip into the jar and blend it into the apples of your
cheeks for a natural flushed look, but while being cautious not to apply too
much as it is quite pigmented. The cream blush has been made with pure
minerals, organic cold pressed oils and extracts from calendula and pomegranate
to not only nourish and care for your cheeks, but give them a natural radiant
finish at the same time. I tried the shade Lotus, which is a rich berry shade,
that in the pot looks quite large, but once blended onto the cheeks, it gives a
natural pink look. The cream blush wears quite well during the day, without
sliding or fading too much. I also found that the cream blush worked quite well
as a lip stain, so you can simply wipe off any excess from your fingers onto
your lips. And it feels quite comfortable to wear on the lips too, although the
wear is naturally shorter. Made with 73% organic ingredients.
Next up is The Organic Skin Co Pressed Eye Shadow Palette. I tried this eye shadow palette in the shade Espresso love, which is as the name suggests a palette with brownish shades. It contains four matte shades, including off white, a pale dusty pink, a mauve as well as a dark chocolate brown shade. And all the shades complement each other perfectly, and can be used either individually on their own for a simply daytime look, or in any combination for the perfect smoky eye. The eye shadows have a soft and smooth consistency, and are easy to apply with an eyeshadow brush, with minimal fallout, and while they are quite pigmented so that you can build up the colours to be quite intense, you can also apply them lightly for just a sheer wash of colour. They also stay put, and don’t settle into fine lines during the day. Made with pure minerals and extracts. Available in four different colour combinations.
Finally, The Organic Skin Co Lipstick, are made with carnauba wax, which helps protect the lips, even when exposed to changes
in temperatures, and are consequently they also very creamy and feel very
nourishing and moisturising on the lips, and hence also extremely
comfortable. I tried the shades Summer
Sands and Sahara. Summer Sands is a soft pale pink, with a touch of shimmery
sheen, and it is the perfect shade for those who prefer a barely there nude
shade, and perfect for casual everyday wear or if you want to downplay your
lips!
The Sahara shade on the other hand is a warm red shade, again with a touch of subtle shimmer, and it is my favourite of the two shades – but only because I prefer to wear just a little more colour than the Summer Sands shade provide. I simply find that the Sahara shade works perfectly for me, whether is casual daytime wear, or a night out, giving my lips colour, but without being too bold!

Common for
both shades is that they last a few hours on the lips, although the darker
Sahara shade has a longer wear because of the darker pigments. I would have
loved them to have a longer wear, on the other hand, I wouldn’t want to
compromise on how lovely moisturising they feel on the lips, or that they are
100% natural and made with 70% organic ingredients, it really doesn’t get much
better than that.
All the
Organic Skin Co makeup products come in stunning packaging featuring dark brown
plastic bottles and jars that are so heavy duty that you could mistake them for
being made of glass. But what’s even more unique is that they are all featuring
bamboo lids, which make then look absolutely stunning – and very appropriate
for the natural and organic products.
Overall, I
am really enjoying using all the products that I’ve tried as they are all
lovely, but if I had to select a few favourites, it would have to be the
Botanical Loose Mineral Foundation, the Cream blush, the Eyeshadow Palette and
the Lipstick. – But in saying that I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing either of the
products again or try some of the other products from the range, which also includes
a lipgloss, individual eyeshadows, and a liquid eyeliner. The Organic Skin Co The Luminous Liquid Foundation - RRP: $49 / 30ml
