Recently, I was introduced to a beauty brand that is committed to offer makeup that is free of parabens, SLES, mineral oil and allergenic fragrances. Yay!
And here’s to a double yay – they are against animal testing too! The freshness and potency of their products are maintained using anti-microbial spices and herbs such as Wasabi, Radish and Ginger to replace harmful preservatives and chemicals.
It is possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread. Click to read all about it!
And the beauty brand I was referring to is Swiss cosmeceutical skin care and makeup line – Enavose.
Launched in Singapore in 2011, Enavose has since garnered several beauty skincare awards for its stellar made-in-Switzerland products.
This June, Enavose is delighted to introduce in stores a modern range of makeup that is bound to make a bold statement. This range of iconic colour collection is an expression of the most imaginative textures, hues and formulas.
Full of living skin elements, Enavose’s new range of colour cosmetics cares for the skin – a complement to its naturally-oriented skincare collection infused with eco-certified organic natural active ingredients, super-fruit actives, vitamins, and Swiss Glacial Water.
And so I went absolutely bananas when Enavose sent me their star product – Swiss Glacial Loose Powder SPF 15 to try.
The powder arrived in a nifty package of pretty ribbons, gorgeous tulle fabric and a cute azure card that says ‘Juliana, Keep Calm and Stay Cool.‘ Adorbs!
Besides its handy-dandy packaging, here’s why the Enavose Swiss Glacial Loose Powder SPF 15 is gonna be a hot fave –
24 Hours Hydra-Release The encapsulated beads of Swiss Glacial Water, Hydra-Spheres-Release, gradually pop to maintain deep hydration levels from within. Skin’s moisture barrier remains boosted for 24 hours.
Ultra Cooling Sensation Provides a crisp, cooling sensation to keep skin feeling fresh and comfortable. Perfect for days when heat fatigue strikes.
Reflective Effect Reflective mineral pigments diffuse light to balance out irregular surfaces and cover pores. Attain a look of elusive dewiness that glows with luminosity.
Natural Lightweight Coverage Completely free of oil, this lightweight powder provides sheer, translucent coverage for a natural finish. Perfect for days when you want to be a barefaced beauty, or for use as a finishing powder. No fuss, no hassle. Their universal shade, Nude Glow flatters and suits every skin tone.
And here’s what I think of the Enavose Swiss Glacial Loose Powder SPF 15…
I used to touch up my makeup with foundation but the result is a cakey face look. So I’m all for loose powders these days as they’re light and less pore-clogging. However, most loose powder jars are too bulky for my small purses and too inconvenient to use in public. Usually, I’ll have to shake the jar to load the powder on the sifter tray but the result is always a huge mess because more powder will get on my bag and clothes than on my face.
Enavose eliminates this problem by installing a huge powder puff on its lid that leaves a small gap between the sifter and the puff. This allows an appropriate amount of powder to come through the sifter, preventing wastage in the process. Brilliant!
Unlike most loose powders that produce a matte finish, the reflective mineral pigments of the powder imparts a satin finish instead. The face looks radiant and dewy even after several layers of powder.
Here’s my face with only L’Oreal’s Lucent Magique Light Infusing Liquid Foundation.
Then I pat on some Enavose Swiss Glacial Loose Powder!
Here’s the final look!
Love the velvety look. I thought I looked like I had highlighter on. Haha!
However, I have to warn you that the reflective mineral pigments is pretty prominent and produces a sparkly look when applied. Not that it’s a bad thing but if you’re going for clean and au naturel look, you might find it too glittery for your liking.
Even though my face looked shiny and oily after application, I thought it felt pretty smooth like I’m touching silk. And that texture lasted for a couple of hours. That’s pretty amazing for my oily skin.
For its clever packaging, natural ingredients, hydrating and sunscreen qualities, 4.5 Honeyz crowns!
