Antonym Foundation: A Review

I found this company a while back and I’ve posted a review of their Blushes so I thought I would post a review of their foundation line. I am a color Light in Antonym’s foundation. The foundation is ecocert certified organic, certified vegan and free of most harmful chemicals. The one issue I’ve run into with this foundation is that it contains talc. Talc, if not sourced correctly can be a carcinogen. However, they say theirs is sourced directly from Italy which is commonly assumed to be safe.I really love this foundation. It is fantastic for days when I want a lighter foundation but still complete coverage. I don’t get as many complements when I’m wearing this as I do when I wear Root’s foundation, but people still seem to love the way this lays on my face.  I typically wear it over my 100% Pure Mattifying Primer and it stays all day long. Since it contains talc it keeps the oil down and works well with that primer.The packaging on this is amazing. It is so adorable in addition to being made from eco-friendly bamboo. It looks so incredible in my drawer and I love taking it places. It is also a great conversation starter since it is so cute.I would suggest at least getting a sample of this foundation if you can to try it out. Since they have several color options you will want to figure out your color match prior to ordering. You can typically get sample sizes from Integrity Botanicals or Citrine Beauty.

Antonym Blushes: A Review

Over the last few months I’ve been collecting the blushes from Antonym Cosmetics. They have three different colors Peach, Rose and Copper. I have fallen in love with each of these colors for very different reasons.Antonym’s blushes are a unique blend since they start as a cream and are baked into a powder. This gives a very special feel and blend to the finished product that really makes it unlike any other blush I own. They blend beautifully on the skin and don’t go patchy after wearing them for a while.My personal favorite is the Peach. It is this beautiful, light, peachy-pink color that looks amazing on my light skin tone. This also is one of the best blushes I’ve found for my cheeks during the spring since it is very light.Rose is a great color when I have a little bit of tan or if I want a little more of a rosy cheek. I found that it was a little dark for me during the spring, but winter when I really want a darker cheek this is great. Copper is the shade that works least with my skintone. I find that I need to have A LOT of sun in order to pull this color off. If you have a darker skintone and darker hair it looks amazing. I used it on one of the actresses in a show recently who has a darker complexion and she looked absolutely incredible.I love Antonym’s blushes and I really think you will too. They are made with fantastic , clean ingredients and are a true treat for your skin. I also love their sustainable bamboo packaging. Not only is it gorgeous it is very ecofriendly. I suggest you try one of these blushes if you’ve been on the lookout for another non-toxic blush. These are sure to excite!

January Favorites

I realized I hadn’t done a monthly favorites post in the last few months so I thought it was high time I let you know what I’ve been loving lately!Doc MartinOne of my friends in my aqua aerobics class suggested I watch this show. I found it on Netflix and absolutely fell in love! It is about a Doctor in a small town in England. He doesn’t have good people skills and the show deals with that and his aversion to blood. If you’re in the market for a new show this is one you really can’t miss!Antonym Blush: RoseI’ll be doing a fuller review on Antonym in the future, but their Rose blush has quickly become a favorite of mine. It is the most perfect color for my complexion. It goes with just about any look I wear. It goes perfectly with a bold lip and with a nude lip. Keep an eye out for a review complete with phots in the future!Faux-Suede Ankle BootiesThese have been my go-to boots over the last month. Personally I have them in maroon, but I find the black and grey available online super cute. The heel on these is pretty much the perfect height for being able to wear them for a long time without being uncomfortable. I love to match these with my scarf for a really put together look.The 5^th WaveI read this book over my “Christmas Break”. It was a great story, fast moving and very entertaining. Apparently it’s also been made into a movie. If you are looking for another dystopian fiction novel you will likely enjoy this one.Root: Pomegranate SerumI love this serum!!!! I received a travel size in a Pretty Club and from that moment I knew I loved this serum. It is highly moisturizing and even has some anti-aging properties.  I sent a bottle to my Mom and she agrees it is a fantastic product.
