I ^ Lily Lolo

Hello lovelies :)

A while ago I ordered a few samples from Lily Lolo. If you're not familiar with Lily Lolo, they are an award-winning UK based cruelty free mineral cosmetics brand. Wow that was a mouthful. Pretty impressive though!

All products featured are free from harsh chemicals, nano particles, parabens, Bismuth Oxychloride, talc, synthetic dyes, fillers, fragrance and preservatives.

I ordered three blush samples and a colour corrector concealer sample. All samples arrive in ziploc bags, so for ease of use I placed them into travel sized stacked pots, which incidentally I picked up in Boots.

Apologies for the wonky sticker at the top!


Products


Peepo is described as a treat for your peepers! A matte yellow-toned mineral concealer disguises dark under-eye circles. I'm not the greatest fan of this product, I found it hard to work with and it didn't really do much disguising :(


Doll Face is described as a pretty, sparkly, candy-pink blush for fairer skin tones. This is a gorgeous colour, but for me is a bit too glitterball-esque! I'd definitely wear it if I was going out though - who doesn't love a bit of sparkle on the dance floor?


Candy Girl is described as a lovely shimmery, pale pink blush, the perfect addition to your beach girl look. This is by far my favourite blush out of the three that I have. So, so gorgeous with just the right amount of shimmer.


Rosebud is described as a shimmering perfect rosy pink blush for a natural flushed-cheek look. This is the darkest blush I own, and I only ordered it because it looked pretty on the website but I'm so glad I did, it's stunning!

  10. I love Lily Lolo things and I love that they make buying samples so easy! Just a quick word of warning about those stackable pots - I know quite a few people (myself included) have found that the screw-on thread of the lids breaks off after a couple of weeks :) You might want to just keep an eye on them xxx

  11. It's such a good idea because that way we can try most things before committing to full size items. Oo yikes, thanks for the warning!! xxx

  13. I loved Lily Lolo foundation when I had acne/oily skin but like you, wasn't a fan of the cover up. I never really ventured properly into their blushes but these look gorgeous! xo
