Pai Macadamia Skin Cream Reviews

Review of Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream

By Louise M.

Packaging The Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream is contained within a beautifully decorated little glass pump dispenser, it could certainly take pride of place on your dressing table. The pump is also a hygienic way to work your way through the product without repeatedly putting your fingers back into the same jar. In line with the company’s ethics the pump is recyclable and comes with minimum packaging to minimise the product’s environmental impact.

Application Pai Macademia and Rose Dry Skin Cream has one of the most velvety textures of any cream I have ever tried. It is rich and creamy without feeling like it is sitting on the surface of the skin and from experience that seems to be a difficult balance to strike! Beyond the texture of the cream, the scent is also striking. Like many other natural face creams it smells of a very pleasant mix of rose germanium and roses, beautiful on its own but the scent does last a while and I found I needed to avoid wearing perfume as well.

Ingredients I have incredibly dry and sensitive skin, especially on my face and I tolerated this cream without any adverse reactions at all. The macademia oil and shea butter had wonderful moisturising properties and I imagine that the rose water would make this cream an especially good choice for mature skins. The formula of Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream also contains borage oil which I have used previously on my eczema so from my own experience I would have no hesitation about the benefits of this cream’s plant-based ingredients. I was also gratified to find out that Pai does not use any chemical nasties in their products, nor do they do not test on animals.

Results I was very impressed with this Pai Macademia and Rose Skin Cream. It looked feminine, sleek and modern in the packaging, felt like velvet on the skin and managed to keep my very dry skin hydrated for several hours (which is no mean feat). The scent of rose geranium was pleasant although a little overpowering, but this would certainly not stop me from using the product again. I imagine that over time the moisturising benefits would soothe skin further, so it would be worth sticking with it over several weeks.

Pros: Looks good and rather expensive in the bottle

· Has a wonderful texture which strikes the right balance between feeling rich and absorbing easily

· Really did moisturise my skin

· Has a raft of natural ingredients which did not aggravate my sensitive skin

Cons: The scent may be a little overwhelming

Logona Natural Concealer Stick Reviews

Review of Logona Natural Concealer Stick

By Debbie S.

Packaging I was sent a Logona Natural Concealer Stick tester, so the only information provided was very little on the circular label underneath. Container was quite a tasteful metallic bronze/pewter coloured metal tube with clear plastic cap, which pulls off and it then twists up.

Application I could not smell anything with this Logona Natural Concealer Stick at all. It looks light enough in colour for fair skin, but it actually changes on skin contact and becomes a darker shade. I noticed straight away that it was greasy, and was so greasy that it was very difficult to apply. It was like trying to apply oil, so subsequently it does not cover well.

This product does not last long either and it can be removed easily by simply touching.

Results Oh dear…I would definitely not recommend Logona Natural Concealer Stick at all. It does not do anything that a cover stick should. If I had bought it, I would have returned it immediately. After using this for a while, I developed a couple of spots, which I think is purely because of the greasy formula. I definitely did not enjoy using this Logona cover stick.

Pros: None

Cons: Ingredients contain alcohol

· Shade on skin different to shade in tube · Greasy · Difficult to apply · Poor coverage · Does not last long · Too easily removed · Poor website information · Greasiness caused a couple of spots to form

Pai Camellia and Rose Cleanser Reviews

Review of Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser

By T Gunson

Packaging The Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser comes in a small white plastic pot, with a screw top lid which gives you easy access to the cream. The packaging has the recycle symbol on it.

Application When I first used this Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser, I thought the cream was going to be thick and hard to work with, but in fact it was the other way round. I found it easy and quick to use and quickly became part of my daily routine. The cream was white in colour and felt soft to touch and easy to clean off.

Ingredients They use some organically grown products which you can smell when you use the cream, which I love because I know I’m not putting any man made chemicals on skin. The ingredients were put on the outer packaging in English.

Result After using the Pai Camellia & Rose Cleanser on my face it felt soft, clean and moisturized. When I wash my face in the morning, I always need to put moisturizer on after but with this product I didn’t feel the need to do that. After a month of using this, my face was baby soft and looked healthy. I will definitely buy this product and use it again.

Pros: Leaves my face feeling soft and moisturised

• Smells fresh and summer like without being over the top
• Uses natural/organic ingredients which you can smell
• Easy to open and close pot

Cons: It is a small pot and quite expensive for the size.

• It was only a sample pot
• After a few uses I found it started to go a yellow colour

Inika Mineral Eyeshadow Reviews

Review of Inika Mineral Eyeshadow
By Gillian L.

PACKAGING - Inika Mineral Eyeshadow comes in a small, plastic,
screw topped pot. The tub is clear on top and at the sides, so you
can easily see which shade you are using. The pot is enclosed in a
box and all materials are recyclable.

APPLICATION -All of the twenty shades of eyeshadow are multipurpose
and can be applied wet or dry and used as eyeshadow , highlighter ,
blusher and eyeliner ,depending on the shade. To apply the eyeshadow
dry it is best to use a brush (not supplied with tester ) -pick up a
little, tap off excess and apply as desired. It can also be mixed
with a little water ,but this I found messy and fiddly: It may be
easier with a sponge applicator.

INGREDIENTS - Inika Mineral Eyeshadow are made of 100% pure minerals and
are a fine blend of mica and iron ,tin and zinc oxides ,naturally
sourced from Australia. They are certified vegan, organic and cruelty
free and free from all toxic chemicals used in conventional make up.
The pigments are rich in beautiful colour -the coffee cream is a
sparkling medium brown shade.

RESULTS - I absolutely loved this Inika Mineral Eyeshadow! The shade is beautiful
,with just a hint of a sparkle. It lasted all day long with no need
to reapply and no irritation of my sensitive skin -I have previously
worn very little eye make up due to irritation and allergies to
chemicals ,so I will most definitely be stocking up on Inika products.
Used wet it would also be suitable for contact lens wearers. The
twenty shades offer a huge range, unlike other ranges of natural
cosmetics.

PROS - The pure, organic and cruelty free ingredients make it
suitable for the most sensitive of skins as well as those who want
ethically sound products.

- excellent range of shades ,some which are just gorgeous

- multipurpose and good value

CONS - The small tub made it tricky to apply and some powder was always lost.

- difficult to apply wet unless you have all the proper
make up tools -applicators, sponges
