Loving Makeup!
I love makeup. I always have. It has the power to change the way a person feels about themselves, make them more confident and, with different styles, colours and techniques, can completely change the way a person looks. Switching over to more conscious, natural makeup brands has been one of my more tricky transitions. I’ve been experimenting with different brands for some time. I love to try new products. I’m quite sure I always will.
Inika Face In A Box
At the weekend, I bought the Inika Face In A Box Starter Kit from LoveLula. Ooh, it’s a good one! I’ve been wanting to try Inika for quite some time but wasn’t sure which products to buy. This starter kit is perfect for those with the same dilemma. I bought it in shade “Unity” because it’s suited to pale skin.
Inika use certified organic ingredients and are certified vegan.

The Products
The Base
The shades of the products are perfect for pale skin. The primer is a perfect base. A little goes a long way and it absorbs into the skin really quickly. I’ve been using the foundation – period week, I need all the coverage I can get during this phase of the month! It does a great job.The BB Cream replaces the need for two products and can be used as a lighter, quicker option. I do find you need to be quite quick applying it does absorb quickly. Also, I do put moisturiser on before applying this. I finish this base step off with the mineral powder, using the kabuki brush. I love these. My brush collection is quite large and I have some great brushes. This brush ranks highly in terms of softness and the blending capabilities.
The concealer is easy to apply with either a brush or just fingers and it doesn’t highlight my creases, which is what I have been finding with some other concealers. I don’t find it gives much coverage – my spots still showed through like slightly more concealed beacons as testimony to my time of the month.
Bronzer & Blusher
The bronzer is really subtle and gives a healthy glow. It definitely is more of a bronzer than a contour powder, it’s not dark enough to provide any contour definition. I love the shade as a bronzer though (handy, what with it being a bronzer). The blusher – wow! Possibly my favourite product in the kit! It’s a beautiful shade, really pigmented so you only need a teeny amount and it has a subtle shimmer to it. It gives you the perfect colour to make you look healthy and less ghost-like. I love, love, love this. I haven’t noticed any difference from the finishing powder, but then I’m not really sure what I should be looking for. Maybe I need to pay more attention to this.
Would I Recommend This?
Yaaasssssss! I’ve really enjoyed using these products. I’ve been continuing to use them every day since they arrived. My best friend over at A Girl & Her Giant has also enjoyed them.
