Let’s start off with the Lip Products!

I love that I was able to test out each type of lip product Sugar Venom carries, from their lipstick and liner to their lip balm (yes, they even have lip balm!). The thing I like most about SV’s lip products is that all of them are great for every day use. 

Mineral Lip Gloss

Where do I begin?! What is really nice about the lip gloss is it’s not “sticky”. If you’re a lip gloss wearer you are well aware of what I am talking about, that unwanted, some how reminds you of glue, sticky...that just awful feeling (for those of you who do not wear lip gloss, think of when you used to put glue on your fingers and pull them apart). Instead it’s creamy and your lips feel well moisturized.

Colours I tested: Lily and Aiko

Organic Lip Balm

Moisturizing? Check! Feels and smells amazing? Also check! Okay seriously, this lip balm is kind of all sorts of wonderful. Not to mention it’s lightweight and also adds a slight tint of bronze (I tested the vanilla one). The thing I noticed and loved about it was you didn’t have to reapply often. When I did reapply though, I could tell how much better my lips felt. This lip balm delivers on every level.

Colours I tested:  Vanilla

Natural Lip Stick and Liner

These next two products I tested out are not up on SV's website as of yet, so I felt extremely lucky to be one of the first to try it. The liner is creamy while still applying to the lips without feathering and the creamy lipstick is moisturizing without being hard to apply (win, win right there!). Once again, after I took it off, my lips still felt amazing. Both the liner and lipstick are long lasting and the colour quality is top notch. What I have found with all Sugar Venom’s lip products is none of them are drying. Great for summer but of course year round as well.

Colours I tested: Truffle (Lipstick) and Work Hard (Liner)

Last but not least, Highlighter, Bronzer, and Blush.

Ahh!! Okay, we are all in for a treat with these next products. Well… I’m pretty excited about them at least (you should be too, trust me)! As we all know highlighting and contouring has become and still remains very popular. Sugar Venom is launching some crème Blush, Bronzer, and even a Highlighting product which I’m pretty sure you’ll fall in love with just like I have.

Highlighter

Say a little about the highlighter, this is one of your new favs!

Next? On to the Eyes! Shadows, Primer, and Mascara.

The thing I find about Sugar Venom's eyeshadows is that I can see them being easy for everyone to use. From professional Makeup Artists to even those who only throw makeup on for special occasions, any skill level, doesn’t matter.

Loose Mineral Eyeshadows

I recently showed a friend the eyeshadow colours that are available from Sugar Venom and she fell in love with a lot of them. She had every right to, the colours are beautiful! SV’s Loose Mineral Eyeshadows give you that pop of colour you are after without the chemicals (look great, feel great). Since they are mineral eyeshadows they are super light weight. The shadows apply nicely with or without a primer. When I was testing them out, I did one eye with dry shadow and the other with wet. What I found was, even with the shadow dry the colour was still vibrant while managing to keep the look more natural or dewy. With making the shadow a bit wet, I was able to make the look more bold while keeping the integrity of the colour. I, myself, am not usually one who enjoys using loose eyeshadows but after using Sugar Venom’s I will be adding it to my regulars. 

Colours I tested: Westwood, Curie, and Twiggy

Natural Eye Primer

As a bonus I also got to test out SV's Prim & Proper Natural Eye Primer, it goes on smooth and easy plus it’s not cakey at all! I prefer my usual eye primer (we all tend to swear by a product and for me it’s my eye primer) but this one is growing on me more and more. Not to mention it works well with other eyeshadows. I found that it helped my shadow be applied more smoothly and made it so there was less touch ups that needed to happen throughout the day. This primer doesn’t seem to be up on the website yet (I got to test a bunch of yet to be released products) but once it’s out I can see them selling out fast. 

Natural High Performance Mascara

Oh my goodness! This is my new favourite. I am super picky when it comes to mascara and with a lot of the cruelty free brands it has been difficult to find one I actually love, until now! The formula in this baby is to die for. It’s water resistant, non-clumping, and it’s made in Canada (okay, I found this fact awesome because I am also made in Canada haha)! The box and product itself says Incredible Volume, and it delivers on that. I was surprised in the amount of volume it gave since other ‘natural’ brands don’t give off a finish like this one does. It is nice to finally have a mascara that I love and can suggest to others who want to go the cruelty-free route.
