Living Nature Luminous Pressed Powder Review

Hello lovelies!

Today I'm going to bring you a quick review of a product that I chose to try as part of the My Pure blogger's scheme - this time I decided to give this beautiful Living Nature Luminous pressed powder a try.


The first thing I noticed about Living Nature is that they've really invest in their design and packaging - something that some organic makeup companies I've reviewed in the past haven't really bothered in. This is possibly the most beautiful packaging for pressed powder I've ever seen!


I mean how can I not love a piece of packaging that reminds me to chill out, take a moment and just... breathe.



See, I told you it was beautiful! Now, it's all very well and good having beautiful packaging but how does it hold up performance wise? Amazingly - I utterly adore using this powder, so much so that its become my daily go to base product (overtaking MAC MSF Natural in Light Medium). It gives a light even coverage and really does give the skin that extra lift and luminous glow - it gets rid of all my redness in my cheeks and nose but doesn't leave me feeling caked in makeup. You might be able to see some tiny bits of glitter in the picture above but I can't say I've actually noticed them at all. I've found that it lasts well and doesn't cling too much to my dry bits :)

I'm trying this in the lightest option (Fair) which is fine for my winter tone but I might need to go up a colour for summer - even now fair is edging towards being a little on the light side, but I do like to play it safe wherever possible.

If you want to see what this looks like on the skin, watch either of my most recent youtube videos as I'm wearing this powder in both of them :)

Price: £17.99

FOTD: Fyrinnae Carnival Girl

Okey an entirely unoriginal title but hey, nevermind. I got a  little bored during my day off today so I decided to play around with some make up and came up with this. Obviously, this is not an everyday look, but more a high fashion/facepainting inspired look that came out of playing around.










And here's what I used (if you really want to know what a particular colour in this look is ask me and I'll try to work it out, but as most of it's blended and mized up, I'm not going to bother telling you what's where!)

Base:
Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation in Porcelain

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
Superdrug Mua Eyedust in 4 (just as a general base to give some depth - I did another layer of Pixie Epoxy and then layered everything over this so you probably won't actually be able to see this colour at all!
No 17 Va Va Voom Mascara in Black
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero


Fyrinnae Greens/Golds/Oranges:
Arcane Magic: Leopord Print Galaxy
Aztec Gold
Dressed to Kill
Dragonskin
Polar Bear
We're All Mad Here
Arcane Magic: Pyromantic Erotica

Fyrinnae Blues/Purples:
Arcane Magic: Futuristic Glam Rock
Sleepy Hollow
Android Angel
Arcane Magic: Sequined Master
Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat

Lips:
Fyrinnae Lip Lustre - Ultra Phantom
Fyrinnae Lip Lustre - Ghostly Voice
