However since I got back I've seen them being used several times and they look so beautiful on the skin. I swatched all three shades Moonstone, Quartz and Topaz and I didn't think they were pigmented enough to I left without buying one. The Haloscope is the one thing I really regretted not buying in New York. They are quite pigmented so a little goes a long way but at the same time it's hard to overdo it. I usually use my Real Techniques Stippling Brush but you can just as easily use your fingers. The formula is so light and easy to blend. Like with actual tubes of paint, you can mix the shades together too to make your own custom shade. I actually really liked the light wash of pale pink on my eyes, I'm sure you could do the same with any of the shades, they could be used on the lips too but I haven't tried it yet. I used Puff on my cheeks and then I tried it on my eyelids too. For this look I used it as a kind of contour/bronzer but as you can see it's very light and natural and of course you could build up the intensity of you have a darker skin tone than mine. I wasn't sure if Dusk would work on my skin tone but it's actually such a nice neutral once it's blended out. It's the only blush I've used in the seven months since I got it. I bought Puff in New York after agonising over what shade to buy for ages. ![]() I have two of the four shades, Puff (a pale bubblegum pink) and Dusk (a warm brown/tan). The Cloud Paints are probably my favourite product out of everything I've tried. I'd definitely repurchase it, but like I said I want to try some of the other scents even thought I love the light rose scent of this one. I like using it before applying lipstick because it locks moisture into my lips. I've used it almost every day since I bought it. I love the texture and the scent and the tube is so handy to bring out in my handbag. As you can see from the tube above, I've used this a lot. These ingredients, protect the skin, act as an emollient, give long lasting moisture and are anti-oxidants. It's other ingredients are Castor Seed Oil, Beeswax, Cupuacu Fruit Extract and Rice Bran and Rosemary Leaf Extracts. I don't have a problem with it but if you don't like using Vaseline, you may not like the Balm Dot Com as it does have a similar texture, although it's much more pleasant than Vaseline. This can be a good or a bad thing depending on what you're using it for. Let me begin by telling you the first ingredient listed in this is petrolatum (petroleum jelly), Vaseline anyone? It's an ingredient that seems to get a hard time of it, it's considered a cheap filler ingredient that doesn't do anything except form a barrier on the skin. I opted for the rose scent which is one of six (I really want the Birthday and Cherry too). The Balm Dot Com is something again I wasn't too pushed about but I decided to pick one up in New York because who can ever have enough lip balms. But on a daily basis when I'm happy with my skin, this is really all the coverage I want and need. ![]() I completely understand that a lot of people are quite self conscious about their skin and I know when I have breakouts, all I want to do is cover them up. I happened to be having a good skin day when I took these photos and I have to admit, if I was suffering with breakouts I would probably opt for slightly more coverage. It still looks like my skin, but just a little more even toned. You can see below my bare skin on the left and two thin layers of skin tint on the right and just how little difference there is. But I love that the intention with this product is to give just a tint of colour and even everything out but still allowing the skin's texture to shine through. ![]() ![]() I must admit that I was sceptical at first, I wasn't sure if I'd like it despite being a big fan of light coverage foundations. They say that it won't "hide your freckles, spackle your pores, or erase any evidence that you are, in fact, human". The formula is thin and breathable and as easy to use as a moisturiser. Glossier claims that the Skin Tint is an "imperceptible wash of colour.evens out discolouration and leaves your face looking toned, smooth and dewy". I wasn't actually going to buy this when I first visited the showroom but I tried it out on my hand and was intrigued by the concept so I decided to get it. The first product I used is the Perfecting Skin Tint in Light. ![]()
