100% Pure, Luminous Primer Vitamins + Antioxidants With Resveratrol Review

From the company:
Key Benefits
  • 100% natural, 100% vegan, gluten free
  • light reflective pigments luminize skin for a healthy glow
  • red wine resveratrol, vitamins and antioxidants shield skin from free radical damage
  • helps to prep skin for longer lasting makeup
  • silicone-free

This primer has a pump, making application hygienic. The consistency was thin and almost watery. After applying this on my face, the texture of my skin felt silky smooth and foundation ready! If you have dry skin, you should apply moisturizer before this primer as a protective layer.  I detected a light scent, but nothing too strong. 
It's good to know that no all makeup we use has to be filled with harsh chemicals.

100% Pure, Pot Rouge Blush in Blush

From the company:
Key Benefits
  • 100% natural, 100% vegetarian, gluten free
  • colored with fruit and vegetable pigments instead of minerals or synthetic dyes
  • satin silky rouge blends easily for a healthy flush of color

"Blush" is described as a rosey plum. I had just applied a thin layer of foundation and let it set, and followed by applying this blush. I love how smooth and natural this blush is. It has light pigmentation, but can be easily built up without it looking cakey. It also worked well over foundation, as it didn't blend into it and lose color all together. 
As you can see by the size, this blush is as small as a gel eyeliner. I would recommend to use your clean ring finger to gather product and apply on the apples of your cheeks. If needed, use a duo fibre brush to blend.

100% Pure: Fruit Pigmented Lip Butter Peach, Review + Swatch

From the company:
Key Benefits
  • 100% natural, 100% vegan, gluten free
  • colored with fruit and vegetable pigments instead of minerals or synthetic dyes
  • formulated in an ultra-moisturizing base of organic avocado, shea, and cocoa butter

Peach is described as a peach coral. Despite looking like a bright coral in pan, the lip butter applies semi sheer. On the lips, it is light pink with a demi-matte finish. Though I wouldn't describe this as super moisturizing, add this on top of a thin layer of balm and you'll be good to go. 
Another thing I would like to add is my love for the packaging. Super cute!
