W3ll People Hypnotist Eyepencil {review}

October 8, 2015 By Brittany 5 Comments

Finding a natural and organic black eyeliner pencil can be a difficult task. I’ve used some that glide on a bit too easily and therefore leak, and another that felt like I was trying to draw a line with hard wax on my eyelid. This one though, I would say is just right and a great green beauty option for an eyeliner pencil.

The W3ll People Hypnotist Eyepencil performs better than the black Benecos one I was using before, and even better than the Rimmel I had used before switching to natural and organic makeup. I’m definitely really pleased, and surprised (pleasantly) with its duration when used along the upper lash line. It has lasted me literally from morning to evening without fading. Mind you, it is getting cooler and the air is getting drier, so the climate here might be conducive to its performance. (Here in Canada, makeup performance is affected by the weather, either for the good or bad).

This pencil works best when your lids are dry, either without product or on top of a powder shadow. Eye liner pencils are never waterproof so, as is normal, if your lids are oily, then the liner will end up smudging into the crease. Just be sure to powder your lids before, or don’t use a face serum in the eye area right before using this liner. Oh, and definitely do not use it on the top lash line with RMS Beauty cream eyeshadows because it will smudge into the crease.

For along the waterline, I would say it is just like any other pencil liner and requires a touch-up here and there. My tips for keeping liner put in the water line, would be to line the lower lashes with a powder shadow and apply a very light coat of mascara.

All in all, I’m impressed with this product. Just like any other eye pencil, it is not waterproof, but personally this is why I prefer them to liquid, because I like a smoked-out liner look and it’s easier to remove. Its durability is better than any other liner I’ve used before, all while applying smoothly, so for that reason the W3ll People Hypnotist is a winner in my books.

Eco-Fashion #ootd

August 12, 2015 By Brittany Leave a Comment

I’ll admit that fashion is not my forte. With clothing, all I care about is having long-lasting clothes that are flattering and hopefully timeless so I don’t have to continuously replenish my wardrobe. And now, I care that they are non-toxic and manufactured in a sustainable manner as well.

Here, I am wearing a couple of pieces from my eco-fashion haul at Chartreuse Style.

The top is by FIG Clothing, a Montreal-based environmentally responsible line. It is made with bamboo viscose and organic cotton.

The skirt is by Two of Hearts and is made with 100% organic cotton. I absolutely love the big pockets! I can carry a small wallet, lip gloss, cell phone and keys without it being noticeable. Not carrying a purse = freedom!

Here are my green beauty makeup details;

Concealer : Kjaer Weis “Paper Thin”
Bronzer : FitGlow Mineral Powder
Eyeshadow: W3LL People “Sparkling Salmon”
Eyeliner: Benecos
Mascara: FitGlow Beauty
Lips: filled in with Benecos lip liner in “Brown” and topped it off with W3LL People Bio Brightener, which I used as highlight as well.

Green Beauty Look: Summer Breeze

July 17, 2015 By Brittany 5 Comments

One of my favorite looks for the summer is a radiant complexion with nude eyes and a pop of color on the lips. This kind of look can be done in about ten minutes or in the car, especially with the convenience of the FitGlow Flawless on the Go Mineral brushes. I love this simplicity and freshness for worry-free, beautiful summer days.

As a concealer, I used Kjaer Weis, ‘Paper Thin‘ and as a highlighter, W3ll People Bio Brightener.

On this day, I chose to use 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze in Peach which is one of my favorite lip colors. I think this look can be done with any lip color at all really, and sometimes I pick a vibrant red or pink or neutral.

What do you think?

W3ll People Bio Brightener vs. RMS Beauty Living Luminizer

A review of W3ll People Bio Brightener in comparison to RMS Living Luminizer

This is a sample of the W3ll People Bio Brightener that I received from when Shirley (one of the founders of the brand) came to visit the Detox Market in Toronto. The actual retail container is in a tube like as you can see here.

This is the second natural and organic cream highlighter I’ve tried. I’ve been enamored with the RMS Living Luminizer for quite a while now, and I definitely like the Bio Brightener just as much.

The formulation of the Bio Brightener is different from the Luminizer and this is probably what gives it a noticeably different consistency as well. The RMS highlighter has coconut oil in its formulation – which I’ve heard causes negative skin reactions for some people – while the Bio Brightener does not.

The W3ll People highlighter has a thicker consistency which allows it to apply more thinly when warmed up with the fingertips. I think that this quality makes it integrate nicely into the skin, effortlessly providing a natural glow. By contrast, the Luminizer has to be worked in a little more to achieve a natural looking radiance and it also kind of sits on the skin whereas the Bio Brightener absorbs into it. I also feel like this makes it stay in place better.

Then, there is the shade. As you can see, the W3ll People Bio Brightener is cool and pearly like the Luminizer, but it is not as white as the latter and has a dusty rose color to it. The color hardly shows up, but I think this also helps it to give a more natural appearance.

Here is a swatch of each applied very densely:
