Last pictures from VOX - Silk Naturals and Lumiere lipglosses

I'm trying to rescue some old pictures that didn't get imported from my VOX blog. :)

I truly love and recommend Silk Natural lipglosses. They feel very comfortable on the lips and the colors are flattering and natural looking. The taste and smell are also wonderful. :) I love the colors of Lumiere's Lumi Lips too, but unfortunately they tend to dry my lips out.

Silk Naturals - glows and other goodies

I got some samples of the new perfecting glows and two of the new blushes. I have never tried any glows from SN before, and I got their "old" Angel Mineral Glow too. I really liked the new ones - Splendid and Pristine. Angel is a little to frosty for my taste. The blushes was very pretty too! I also got a sample of the new concealer, but I haven't tried it yet. I noticed that the new glow samples were much smaller than the blushes and the angel sample, but they will be enough for a few applications at least.

The new liquid gloss were nice, but I like the ordinary SN glosses better. This one - Modern Poet - was a little to sheer for my taste. It felt really nice on the lips however. :)

Silk Naturals Medium and Heavy coverage foundation and Peach base

I recently ordered sample bags of the new Heavy and Medium Perfect Harmony foundation formulas and the new Peach base color. I am so happy to finally realize that I have peach undertones in my skin. Neutral foundations are often to ashy and I have been told that I have both pink and yellow tones in my skin, but I actually never realized until now that yellow + pink = peach. LOL I recently found a great match in LaurEss peach line (Radiant Ginger) and now I have found the new SN Peach mix to be a much better match than my old SN Ebony mix. Ah, it is so nice to finally have found my color identity, now I have some more sampling to do... ;)

I got the samples very fast from US to Sweden and I have already been able to try the medium formula for two days and today I'm wearing the heavy one. The medium finish is very similar to the original light/medium finish, but gives more coverage, of course. There is no foundation that looks more natural on my skin than Silk Naturals, it doese't give me that airbrushed finish I get from Lumiere, but it goes on very natural and gives a smooth even finish that makes it almost impossible to see that I'm even wearing foundation.I was on a job interview yesterday and it was the perfect foundation too wear. The staying power is good, but not the best, but it really doesn't matter since you can layer some more foundation during the day, without the risk of cakey looking skin.

The Peach base is much darker than the Ebony base. I use a 1:4 Ebony:White and about 1:8 Peach:White.
The big pot in the middle is Ebony and the small pots are from left to right, heavy, light and medium Peach.

Silk Naturals MOAC glosses & Kiss Bliss Demi Gloss

Silk-Naturals-MOAC-lippies

I got three of the Kiss Bliss Demi Glosses in the mail today. I love them! :) I really like that they have the same sweet scent as the glosses. I didn't like the "organic" scent of the original lippies.
In the picture are also four of the glosses from the MOAC collection that I got some weeks ago. They are all lovely, but XOXO are my fav, without doubt :)
