Curtis Collection: Product Review

Good friend to the JSP Styling blog, and makeup extraordinaire, Victoria Curtis recently sent me some of the new products in her Curtis Collection range.

As you all know, I am obsessed with anything make-up related, so I was so excited to try out these babies!

Everything from the packaging - simple monochromatic, through to the shade names, textures, and even the scents; were carefully formulated from scratch by Victoria.




Glam Lipstick
RRP $30




I was lucky enough to try Curtis Collection's newest lip colours in this range.
The hydrating formula of these lipsticks, not only nourished the lips, but allowed for the lipstick to just glide on. The lipsticks each have a long-lasting colour, so you don't need to constantly reapply which is a big plus for me when I am constantly talking to clients.

The colours that I tried out included:

Serena


A fresh Summery, coral colour. Perfect for a subtle every day look.



Modern Icon

 

A bold orange colour. A slight twist to the popular red statement lip, but differentiated with the orange hues.



Lover


A mix between a baby pink and dolly pink. Perfect to dress up a casual tee and jeans kind've day.



Fearless


A light red shade. For those who are not used to wearing a red statement lip, this colour will ease you into this bold look.



Social Status



This lipstick is me to a tee! Not only do I love the name, but the shade is a perfect blend between a deep pink and a red. This is something that you could use during the day or for an evening look. Everyone knows I love a good red ;)



Red hot


A dark red shade. A sexy colour, perfect for a date night.



Mineral Shimmer Dust
RRP $27.50



These powerful pigments pack a punch to any eye look. Pop them in the corner of ur eyes, to highlight or with a damp brush cover the eyelid. These versatile shimmer pots are suitable for even the most sensitive eyes (trust me, I would know!).


                                        (Pigments featured here are used with a dry brush)

Mykonos Goddess

A perfect way to lift your eye makeup, by using a small brush to place the product in the inner-corner of your eye. This olive-green colour will intensify your eyes, especially for those of you who are like me and have green eyes.



Golden Girl
This bronzed look would complement a brown smokey eye evening look, or can be used as a highlighter on the cheekbone. The lasting power of the pressed pigments will ensure that the shimmer dust stays in place for the duration of the wear.



Luxe Liner
RRP $35.00



This felt tip pen is absolutely amazing for those who are beginners all the way to the make-up pros. The fine felt tip, glides easily along the eye lid enabling the user to create a precise thin line, to a bold cat eye. I was able to use this eyeliner all day without any smudging, creasing or cracking.




Baked Blush - Goddess Collection
Show Stopper
RRP $35.00


Blush is an every day essential, to keep you looking healthy and glowing. When blended, this colour is a perfect pink - that would suit most complexions (which is very rare in a blush!). In the light, the blush radiates a highlighting glow (unlike most blushes that have chunky pieces of glitter throughout it). This blush is beautiful and pigmented, which is important in a product, as you don't need to use a lot, to accentuate your cheekbones. This blush is also enriched with both Vitamin D & E, to moisturise and protect.



                                                                        (Unblended)

I highly recommend that everyone update their makeup collection, to include these little beauties. The price-point for this range is extremely affordable for the quality, and quantity of each product - two traits that are important when make-up shopping.

Victoria also prides herself on using ingredients that are good for your skin - from a variety of vitamins and minerals, with no nasty chemicals.

Congratulations to the Curtis Collection team for creating such amazing products!

You too can try these goodies from going online, or checking your local stockists.
