Peachy Summer Makeup

Peachy was never really my colour. I liked it in a combination with other colours, but I never felt like the peachy colour  suits me well on its own. Some time ago I got a pretty peachy lipstick and I thought I could create a look, based on peachy and orange colours. The look is simple, but it's perfect for summer.

I used a taupe shade in the crease and peachy all over the lids. Under the eyes, I used coral eyeshadow pencil, which I blended out with soft orange shade. In inner corner, I used golden shimmery eyeshadow. A black winged eyeliner is, of course, a must for me. I would probably use false lashes here as well, but I created this look when my makeup collection was still in boxes (during the process of renovating our bedroom), so I didn't bother to search them in the pile of endless boxes. Cheeks and lips are also coloured in a peachy shade, and everything together might seem too much peachy colour on the face, but I kind of like it. Although I'm still convinced that peachy isn't my colour. 

Helan is an Italian brand that produces natural cosmetics. They also have natural makeup and I got a chance to try their lipstick from the line Rosetti Biologici, called *Albicocca, which means peach. The lipstick is organic and made of natural ingredients. It contains argan, sunflower, jojoba and sesame oil, vitamin E, beeswax and shea butter. 

When I received the lipstick that is packed in a silver metallic packaging, I didn't expect much. I actually thought this will be more a coloured lip balm than a lipstick, but I was surprised because this is a very nicely pigmented peachy lipstick. It's very pleasant, lightweight to wear. It has a light creamy formula with a glossy finish, and although I'm used to that glossy lipsticks disappear quicker from my lips than for example matte lipstick, this one lasted around four hours when I didn't eat. Otherwise, it does transfer to a glass and it wears off a lot during a meal. The lipstick is very moisturising and nourishing and even after hours of wear, it doesn't dry the lips.

Helan lipsticks are available at www.licare.si in Slovenia. Beside peachy shade, there are also pink and chestnut shades available. You get 3,5 g of a lipstick for 17,99 €.  Although I find this lipstick very good and although I realise this is a natural, cruelty-free product, the price is a bit too high for me (probaby also, because I prefer wearing matte lip products), but if you like natural cosmetics I suggest you to check LiCare site, because the selection of products is really big.
