Luxola.sg: The launch of Alcina and makeup swatches!

Last weekend, Luxola held an event to introduce their latest brand, Alcina, carrying makeup and skincare products all the way from Bielefeld, Germany.


We got to meet the people behind the brand, learn more about their products through a demo on fellow beauty blogger, Vinna.


Here's the skincare products that were mentioned:

A few products caught my attention and liking, and one of them is their eye cream. It has a formulation that does what eye creams do, with a very different packaging. 

I think I like it simply based on the packaging... hahaha! It would really help to deposit the product in the small corner of the eyes.







The other product is their Herbal Mask. I was told that this mask contains active ingredients such as kaolin, sage and lavender oil. All of which that I like in masks! It dries off as a clay mask, but it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and it has a cooling sensation upon application which is nice.


And, here's the makeup products used on Vinna:


 I love the makeup segment. I'm a makeup lover~ And Alcina has one of the nicest powder press and eye shadow collection I've ever seen. I can look at them all day~

This is their eye shadow and it has the pattern of intertwining ropes. It is highly pigmented and easy to blend. The only issue I have with their eye shadows is that they have a glittery satin finish, which I'm not always a fan of.

Regardless, here a swatch of their eye shadows:

Their blushes and contouring products are even lovelier. I like how you can choose to blend all three shade together and apply or pick out individual shades.
Here's a swatch of their blush and  contour:


Other swatches include their kajal liner, eye shadow stick and concealer:

I'm a fan of their kajal liner, this baby seems completely budge-proof!

And the last swatch is their lipstick range:

Look Of The Day: Purple Party

In the recent Luxola's One Night Stand event, we were gifted with heaps of awesome goodies like it was X'mas already! In the goodie bag, I got some stuff from Wet n Wild and so, I decided to create a look with what I got!

Continue reading to learn how I create a party look featuring Wet n Wild's products:
1) Colour Icon Eyeshadow Trio (Spoiled Brat)- S$8.90
2) Silk Finish Lipstick (Dark Wine)- S$3.90
3) Megalast Nail Colour (On A Trip)- S$6.90
4)Fastdry Nail Colour (Everybody Loves Redmond)- S$6.90
STEPS


1) To help make the eyeshadow last longer in a climate like Singapore, I will be using an eye primer. Here, I applied LJH Cellabel M.C Prep Eye Primer on my lids and on my dark circles to help brighten and lighten the area up. This will also help the eyeshadow to adhere better on my lower lash line.

2) Pat the purple shadow from the lash line upwards towards the crease line. Blend out any harsh line at the crease.

3) Line the lower lash line with the same purple shadow and blend it out to create a soft line.

4) Line the upper lash line with the black shadow, creating a subtle flick at the end. With the remaining shadow on your brush, softly line the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line.


5) Pat the silver shadow on the center of the lids. Gently blend out any harsh line.

6) Line the center of the bottom lash line.

7) Fill in the brows with a soft brown shade. Here, I used Shu Uemura Brow Liner.

8) Curl your lashes and apply a few coats of your favourite mascara.


9) Complete the look with Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipstick (Dark Wine).

For nails, I used Wet N Wild Megalast Nail colour (On A Trip) with their Fastdry nail colour (Everybody Loves Redmond) to create a mid half moon.


And that's pretty much it! There is a mini tutorial on the back of the product with the indication of which shades go where on your eyes but... personally, I think the instructions for this trio is a little old school and not very suited for asian eyes. Hence, my version of this look with the trio.

If you ever try this out or any of my looks out, #jodulu or tag @Jodulu (IG) to share them with me!
