Another blog post focussing on some new products i recieved from an American brand called 'Ofra Cosmetics'.
For those of you who dont know, ofra cosmetics is quite a well established makeup and skincare brand mainly in the US than the UK but with most companys now offering wordwide shipping purchasing items from abroad has never been easier....minus the hefty tax and shipping charges i suppose.
So to begin with a little bit about the brand, Ofra Gatio a therapist and makeup artist created her own line of skin care and makeup products in 1994 with her partner... and now today, OFRA is an internationally recognized name in the beauty industry.
Now on to pictures and product details of some of thier products i was lucky to try out. Starting with of course my favourite - long lasting matte liquid lipsticks! They have a hugee range of colours! The three colours that i picked out were Pasadena, Manhattan and Mocha.
When i swatched them i noticed they were more creamy and soft in texture, rather than liquidy if you like, yet very moisturizing on the lips...creating a long lasting lipstick effect.
Moving on to one my favourite types of setting under eye powders- 'Banana powder' they usually consist of very light, finely milled powders designed to set the under eye area with, without the 'cakey' look. They also have a touch of yellow which is used to instantly brighten up and highlight the under eye area.
I have both the pressed and loose powders. I usually like to use the pressed version with a small tapered setting brush when i am in abit of a hurry and just dont want to be fiddling around with the loose powder.. And perfer to use the loose powder for when i am 'baking' a term used to set the under eye area to prevent it from creasing.
Ofra blush stripe in 'illuminating' - this unique blush is made with high-grade pearls and pigments and aims to highlight your cheek bones in any light giving you a beautiful sun-kissed glow.
This can also be used as a eyeshadow and it is quite a large compact holding a whopping 10g of product so you know this will definetly last you a while!
The other highlight is the ever so popular 'you dew you' which was in collaboration with @Dupethat (on instagram)
This highlighter has a lovely golden tone to it giving ALL skin tones a peachy golden dewy highlight making those cheekbones really POP!
Derma tones concealer wheel- now this i was very intrigued by. This specialized product is used to soften discolorations, cover blemishes and hide imperfections. It is lightweight, non-drying and compatible with all skin types. Whatsmore this provides excellent coverage to all parts of face and body with no irritants. Especially suitable for under the eye area, covering up those dark circles that we all tend to have from time to time and creates great coverage for any redness.
The other product is a signature contouring and highlighting cream foundation mini palette. This would be great for travelling or when working on clients as you dont need to worry about packing single concealers or foundations, the Signature Contouring & Highlighting Cream Foundation Mini Palette has it all. It is versatile enough to contour and highlight facial features as well as be applied as a cream foundation and concealer.
Lastly are two skincare products the Eye firming gel which claims to reduce dark shadows, puffiness and refine lines instantly. It will create tightening effect which will reduce fine lines appearance.
I cant wait to give this a go and see as i can't stress the importance of using a eye cream especially at night before going bed.
The secound skin care product is the B5 moistourising serum - An intensive hypoallergenic, hydrating, anti-oxidant formula that will refine and smooth lines.
I will post updates on the skincare products once i have used them for a while so be sure to follow my instagram
