Bring out your inner siren with the gorgeous Inika Le Rouge et Le Noir Set (£45). Inspired by the love of all things dark and mysterious,
this perfect combination of makeup can create the ultimate smoky eyes and
lustrous red lips.
Inika is a natural, premium makeup
range, Organic certified, vegan and cruelty free. With high performance
products to match Inika’s high ethical standards, the range performs well on
all fronts.
Firstly, shade the eyelid with Inika Mineral Eyeshadow
(£12.95) in shade ‘Lust’. Use this gorgeous mid-green tone to create the base.
Then, contour the eye area with Inika Mineral Eyeshadow in shade ‘Seduction’,
to create more of a smoky eye look. Finish off with Inika Mineral Eyeliner Pencil (£12.15) in ‘Black Caviar’, the perfect product to really emphasise the
eye. It can be blended easily with its creamy texture; it glides easily over
eyes and delivers good depth of colour. The complimentary sharpener lid is a
bonus, too.
The kit also contains Inika Mineral Lipstick (£14) in shade
‘Electric Red’. A delicious burnt red colour with orange undertones, this can
create a lustrous lip to perfectly compliment the siren inspired style. Always
desirable, this shade is a classic.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everyone has a different method of coping with cancer; Jessica Jones' was to blog her way through it. 'Chemo Chic - A Guide To Surviving Breast Cancer With Style' offers day-to-day advice on everything from moisturiser to Manuka honey. We loved this brilliant article from Jessica Jones at Vogue.com on our Inika Mineral Foundation (£25.55) and Kabuki Brush (23.50).
What sets Inika apart are its the ingredients from Australian plants and pure pigment-rich minerals act as skin care as much as cosmetics.
Inika Cosmetics are available at Naturisimo.
Review of Inika Eyeshadow “Coffee Cream”by Catherine G.
Packaging: Plastic screw lid jar which holds 1.5g of powder.
Application: This Inika eyeshadow is a very fine powder which gives a light silky feel and is easy to blend in. Using an eyeshadow brush – simply dip into the pot and tap off any excess on the pot lid before applying. If you want to use it as an eyeliner get a slightly damp eyeliner brush and dip into the pot then apply as normal.
Inika products are paraben free and full of lovely organic/natural ingredients with no toxic chemicals. Inika eyeshadow is also certified 100% vegan and cruelty free.
Results: Personally I love mineral make-up and have been using it for the last two year’s. It has been proven to actually be good for your skin so just think you can wear make-up all day without it clogging up your pores! Also it feels so light to wear and the reflective pigments give a luminescent look. Developed by this well known Australian Cosmetics company, this medium brown shade of eyeshadow is long lasting and gives a good depth of colour. Being a mineral powder you can apply more if you prefer it slightly darker but a little goes a long way with this. It gives a very nice natural daytime look and to jazz it up for the evening simply use a little water to create a more vibrant effect.
Pros:
Very good for sensitive skins as the eye shadow shouldn’t cause any irritation with the nice gentle ingredients they use.
I can see why it won an award at the Natural Beauty Awards in 2008!
Can also be used wet as an eyeliner so two products for the price of one really!
Cons:
Nothing!! But I am a huge fan of mineral make ups – if you are not used to using mineral make-up it may be worth watching one of the online demos but I find it very simple to use.
