Hello pretties,
I have been away for quite sometime owing to my many commitments at home and work that have kept me busy.However,never mind the sordid details of my boring life and lets get back to fun.As you all know I am always on the lookout for some good quality halal brand of makeup.I have skimmed through the existing range of so many drugstore ones to find the products suitable for Muslim consumers.You can find all those products here.I came across this hala certified brand from UK last month and loved some of the products so much that I had to share.
The brand is PHB ethical Beauty.Ethical because they are not only halal but vegan and promote fair trade too.
Here is what PHB ethical beauty says:
"We are original ethical beauty brand and we are on the mission to provide you with product purity.Our products are handmade in the UK and we are proud to offer the largest collection of natural,vegan, and halal certifed beauty products available worldwide."
The company has won awards for its best natural mascara,lip gloss and eyeliner.The hair care range was called revolutionary by VOGUE magazine.They have been given NATURAL HEALTH award for best eczema care.
Here is the PHB ethical beauty website.
I was sent quite a few things to review.I have been using them since past month.Keep reading for more details.
ALL IN ONE NATURAL MASCARA
15.95pounds |
The all in one natural mascara is "Green Planet" award winner.
PHB claims that it is enriched in lengthening botanical oils.It lengthens strengthens and volumizes.Formula is water resistant.Meaning that while it is not water proof it resists moisture and stays for long.It is paraben free and vegan.
I really like the formula.It is a guilt free beauty for me.Knowing that it is free of harsh chemicals I can wear it daily.It is water resistant so I can take it off with my regular face wash and rinse.No need to bring in the big guns ^_^ So the ease of use for a mascara is a big plus point for girls who need a reliable option for frequent use.
The consistency is great for easy application.It separates and coats the eyelashes evenly.No clumping or flakiness at all.
My lashes are lengthened noticeably.The effect is not dramatic but its very natural and pretty.It gives volume too but thats not too drastic.
The formula is very easy on eyes.It does not irritate my sensitive eyes and I did not experience eyelash hairfall after it(its a common problem with mascaras in my case).
So far I really like this one.
Price is 15.95 pounds.It might sound expensive, but when you weigh the price with the benefits of guilt free beauty I think its not too costly.
NATURAL LIPSTICK
"100%natural,vegan and cruelty free.Accentuates your ip color while moisturizing and protecting your lips with jojoba oil and fair trade shea butter."
Available in 13 colors
Price=14.5 pounds.
I tried the natural lipstick in "Coral".Its a metallic shade with golden orange hues.It is quite a festive color I must say.However,sadly enough it did not suit me.However,I have been using it as a cream blush ^_^
The lipstick is moisturizing as per the claim and does not feel heavy.Stay time is 4-5 hours.
Pigmentation or color payoff is average.Two to three swipes are required to get the color.
I would like to try this lipstick in other shades
HEALTHY ETHICAL MINERALS FOUNDATION
"100%natural flawless finish while nourishing and protecting skin".
It comes in variouse sizes.The sample size is 4pounds.A trio of sample size is 10 pounds.Large size is 18.95 pounds.Available in 14 colors starting from cream to mocha(very fair to dark).
I was very excited to try the all halal mineral foundation.It comes with a sifter lid.After dispensing the required product the sifter can be locked into place.It is travel friendly and economizes use.
I got the shade "fair rose".It is suitable for NC20-25 skintones.It has neutral undertones.I was afraid it would be very fair for me, but on blending and buffing with my sigma kabuki F80, it became a part of my skin(NC25).
The mineral foundation is very fine milled.It is so fine that on application it literally sticks to skin.So I don't apply it all at once, but apply and buff in segments.I would like it to be a bit more blend able as it would be easier for beginners to use.
Coverage is sheer to medium.
Stay time is 7-8hours in summers.The oil starts peeking at about mid day, but it is easily remedied by a little blotting.
Overall I quite like the foundation as it performs well in summers.
HEALTHY ETHICAL MINERAL EYESHADOWS
The mineral eye shadows come in 14 stunning pigmented colors.
Price is 11.95pounds per pot.
The eye shadows come in small jars with sifter lids like foundation.
The eye shadow I have is "Amethyst".It is a beautiful rich plum color with a hint of shimmer in it.The powder is very fine milled.The texture is soft and easily blend able.It gives a vibrant result on skin.
Stay time is pretty good.The eye shadow does not crease or fade.
PHB ETHICAL BEAUTY MOISTURIZERS AND SERUMS
I got three samples of moisturizers to try.My favorite was brightening moisturizer.It was light and really brightened up my skin.I did not like gentle moisturizer as it broke me out and was heavy on skin.
Currently they have 25%off on hair care and 30% off on body lotions.The offers and deals keep coming and you can subscribe to their fb page to know more :)
Here is their fb page.
Here is how it looks on me.I am not wearing the natural lipstick here.
If you want to try or order these products you can place your order at the Halal Certified Cosmetics in Pakistan.Here is the page.Owner is super sweet and cooperative.
