I don't know how many of you are familiar with BM Beauty
but if you like natural mineral based products that are animal friendly it is a site you should be visiting
as they stock everything from mineral foundations and concealer to bright eyeshadows and lip glosses,
it really is a mineral make-up obsessives dream!
Today I have two lip glosses from said line to share with you all.
A quick word about the packaging, it looks neither cheap and nasty nor does it look high end.
To me it's slap bang in the middle with it's minimalist and modern approach.
The glosses are well made but my only grumble lies within the doe foot applicator - I loathe them,
they make applying gloss in my opinion that little more difficult as they remove product rather than applying.
Should I ever rule the world it will be death to doe foot applicators - a tad extreme I know!
I have two shades at the moment:
Indian Summer - A light bronze nude shade that appears deeper in the tube than it does on the lips,
this is a beautiful bronze nude hue that epitomises summer, I can imagine this to work amazingly well
with turquoise or green eyeshadows or just as well with a bronze smokey eye.
This is the better pigmented shade of the two and the one I would consider repurchasing.
Cherry Bomb - In the tube this appears to be a true cherry red but it is fairly sheer once applied to the lips,
it gives a hint of a tint rather than a full on opaque coverage of colour.
In my opinion this is best applied over another red lip shade to add moisture and sheen,
perhaps a matte red lipstick would be the perfect partner?
"The non sticky formula is rich in jojoba oil and will leave your lips glossy and moisturised.
Wear the gloss as it is or add a sprinkle of your favourite BM Beauty mineral to customise your colour.
The possibilities are endless!"
I have to agree with the above statement both shades are moisturising and not terribly sticky,
Cherry Bomb was a little more sticky than Indian Summer but nothing unbearable.
They apply fairly well (doe foot applicator aside) and feel light and hydrating on the lips.
Indian Summer is the best out of the two for those who are looking for colour as well as a high shine finish,
Cherry Bomb is a better option for those who like a light tinted lip gloss.
In terms of wear both wore just a little over an hour which is fairly average.

Have you tried anything by BM Beauty?
The Indian Summer shade is lovely x
ReplyDeleteThe Indian Summer shade is gorgeous... I haven't experimented with this brand much, apart from an eyeshadow I received in a Glossybox (which was a bit of a dodgy colour so has remained unused!) This may have to be the first product I try out from BM Beauty Rachel from www.whatabeauty.co.uk x
ReplyDeleteIs it just me that thinks the packaging look really cheap, looks like a bargain brand. The colours are really ncie though :)
