A few months ago, I was introduced to Art Deco makeup & I have been loving their products ever since! I was given some of the most beautiful makeup from their Jungle Fever Collection a couple of months ago which is almost too pretty to use!
The Bronzing Powder Compact with exclusive Jungle Fever design is totally gorgeous & gives me a natural sun-kissed matt complexion, which is something that I miss during winter. It contains Inca oil, which nourishes the skin and helps it retain moisture. It also contains SPF 15 to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation.
The collection also features the Bronzing Glow Blusher, in the shade ‘queen of the jungle’ which is a combination of three gorgeous, gently shimmering colours that sublimate my complexion with a gently sun-kissed, radiant flush of blush. I’m addicted to it and haven’t used anything else since.
Two beautiful Art Couture Lipsticks feature in this collection, the pearl blazing red (no.366) is my favourite as well as all the other girls in the office it seems. It is deliciously creamy and nourishing, and is intensely pigmented, for an ultimate statement lip that doesn’t feather or bleed.
You can go and try these limited edition beauties for yourselves at any Farmers store; but get in quick before they are all gone.
I received this blush in the shade Queen of the Jungle from the Jungle Fever Collection (not the exact blush pictured above) it contains three shades but consists mostly of a light orange toned bronzer and small sections of coral and pink.
The packaging is what first caught my attention when I opened this and I think it will most definitely stand out in my makeup collection. I love the embossed pattern on the actual product and am glad that this didn't disappear after a few uses and still looks as nice as the day I got it. The packaging is my favourite thing about this blush as I found the actual product was not my cup of tea.
I have fair cool toned skin and usually wear pinks, mauve's or peachy pink blushers and find that those that lean to the cooler side suit my complexion best. This blush looked more like a very warm toned bronzer on my complexion which wasn't very flattering. I didn't find this gave me much of a glow either just a more bronzed look (a fake orange kind of bronze). I found the blush was quite sheer also and had to build it up a lot to get a decent flush.
I was very underwhelmed by this product and would not repurchase, for the price ($40.99) I do not think it is worth it and have tried numerous cheaper yet more effective blushers than this. Even if this was in a shade more to my liking, the sheerness would still leave me wanting more for the price paid.
Tips: Test the shade out in store first to ensure it is flattering on your skin tone. Gradually build up the colour as this is sheer and requires building up.
