Inika Organic ‘Certified Organic Lip & Cheek Cream (Morning & Dust)’ – RPR: $45
This product is incredibly versatile as it’s suitable for both lips and cheeks, the perfect 2 for 1 deal. The cream has a great shimmer which definitely gives a glowing, almost sparkling look wherever you apply it. Packed with Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E, the cream will give you a dewy, shimmery finish.
It’s also the perfect product for any newbies to blush, as it applies a subtle colour to the cheeks and is not too overwhelming. It’s also great for achieving the natural makeup look, as it can be used over bare skin or with a foundation base.
When first using the cream, make sure to press hard to get the full pigment as there is a small film on the top where there’s very little pigment. Once broken into, it will be easier to obtain the right amount for application. Especially for shades such as DUST which is lighter in pigmentation.
The packaging of this product is very compatible, and will fit into any bag or purse, perfect for touch ups if needed throughout the day.

Mellow ‘Eyeshadow Quad – Harmonia & Rhea’ – RPR: $38
The quad is made of two shimmery shades and two matte ones. We trialled the Harmonia and Rhea eyeshadows which are both made of a lovely combination of rose golds, rose, brown and deep berry shades. Lovely glowing Autumn look to the eye.
Pigmentation is softer than most, making these eyeshadows ideal for day use. However, this product doesn’t cake, so you can easily apply additional coats of the eyeshadows to eyes to deeper the shade for night. Especially when using the glittery shades, where you can easily apply over the matte shades to bling the eyes.
The palette can fit in anyone’s hand, so it can also fit into anyone’s purse or handbag. Plus, a mirror is included for those who are in a rush or a quick touch-up in the bathroom – you get a lot for such a small compact.
