Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil contains collagen-building Red Raspberry Seed Oil, rich in ellagic acid.

Why We Love It

This golden, silky, dry oil combines three power oils for stellar skin results. One of those oils is Red Raspberry Seed Oil.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil moisturizes the skin, builds collagen, improves elasticity, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil is gentle yet effective in addressing many skin issues associated with acne and aging.

Raspberry Seed Oil Facts

  1. Raspberry Seed Oil is rich in Ellagic acid which reduces the destruction of collagen as well as protects against Ultraviolet sun damage. [1] Ellagic acid is also a moisture sealant.
  2. Raspberry Seed Oil contains collagen-building Salicylic Acid.
  3. Raspberry seed Oil also contains a high amount of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids.
  4. Raspberry Seed Oil has been shown to reduce the destruction of collagen as well as protect against Ultraviolet damage from the sun. Raspberry Seed Oil contains phytosterols that promote new collagen production.
  5. Red Raspberry oil has a high Vitamin E content. Vitamin E reduces skin damage and removes free radicals that contribute to skin aging.

Waterless Beauty

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil is also a waterless product. Yet it retains moisture without diluting the ingredients.

Water is usually at the beginning of the ingredient list- most of the time making up almost 70 to 80% of the formula. Cutting water from the formulation actually creates a more hydrating product because it won’t interfere with our skin’s natural sebum protective barrier.

The Experience

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil spreads well. It leaves skin with a non-sticky, non-greasy glow. It seals in skincare products without pilling. 

Just a few drops cover the face, throat, and upper decolletage.

National Lipstick Day Picks
Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour

· 8 Comments

We previously introduced Pinch of Colour, a waterless beauty brand. The Pinch Of Colour range includes skincare and cosmetics such as a Waterless Lip Oil. Today we take a peek at the Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour.

Why We Love It

Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour has long-lasting coverage and a rich dimension to it’s a glam finish. Plus it is packed with lip-loving hydrating ingredients such as Jojoba, Mango Seed, and Rosehip oils.

Notably, Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour is vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. It is also Water-free. Waterless beauty is not only socially conscious, but it makes for a higher quality end product.

 

Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour comes in twelve vibrant shades

The Experience

These Pinch of Colour matte lipsticks come in rich, flattering shades and have a smooth texture. The oils make it smooth but the lipstick does not run.

ShadesPinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour comes in twelve shades, an assortment of warm and cool base tones including a classic but modern red and cheery pinks.

We tried Sophia, an elegant crisp, cool, deep red-pink berry, and Eva, a vibrant pop of pink.

Sophia is a berry shade between pink and red

Packaging

It is packaged in a minimalist white and silver case with signature logo.

Eva is a pretty, wearable pink

Eva is a pretty, wearable pink

texture

The texture is smooth enough for a precise application. Unlike some natural lip products, it is not too hard and waxy or too mushy. It applies well and doesn’t feather even on my chronically dry lips.

Sophia

Wear

See how the kiss prints above are faded? This lipstick doesn’t come off on my glass while drinking, or while eating salad with dressing. It just began to wear off while eating pizza. This long-wearing formula isn’t drying like a stain but it does stay put like one.

Ingredients

Let’s review Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour‘s impressive ingredient line up.

ingredient profile

Mango Seed Butter provides extended hydration and contains copper to build precious lip collagen and elastin

Mango Seed Butter

Mango

Mango

Mango Seed Butter provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it is perfect to keep skin hydrated and dewy overnight.

Mango is high in copper. Copper builds Collagen, Elastin and increases Hyaluronic Acid production within the skin. Copper is rare within skincare products because extraction is costly. A natural ingredient high in copper is a great addition to this formulation!

Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K and B6.

 

SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL

Jojoba Seed Oil is very similar to the composition of our natural skin oils, so skin tends to absorb Jojoba very well.

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba gives skin elasticity and softness. Jojoba Oil is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.

It smoothes lip wrinkles and fine lines without causing irritation.

 

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehips

Rosehip Seed Oil is high in Vitamins A, C, and E. They provide nutrients and promote cell turnover.

Rose Hip Seed Oil is a Vitamin C variant that is both a treatment and a hydrating ingredient.

Rosehip oil also has omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to soothe and moisturize eczema or dry skin. [1]

Supporting Players

TOCOPHERYL ACETATE

Tocopheryl Acetate is a form of Vitamin E oil used in skincare. E makes damaged lip skin soft and pliable again while reducing wrinkle formation. Vitamin E also has anti-inflammatory properties, which soothe irritated lips.

CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE

Capric Triglyceride naturally occurs in palm kernel or coconut oil. It is a mixed ester composed of caprylic and capric fatty acids attached to glycerin. [2]

Coconut Oil

Capric Triglyceride is from Coconuts

Capric Triglyceride can make greasy ingredients leave a non-greasy finish. This is helpful in a lipstick formulation such as this one which contains such rich oils.

Caprylic/capric triglyceride creates a barrier on the skin’s surface to reduce moisture loss and address dryness.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is one of the cleanest ingredients with no reported toxicity.

Waterless Beauty: Pinch of Colour Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil

· 11 Comments

Pinch of Colour is the first makeup brand made without water. Packed with natural ingredients and nourishing botanicals, Pinch of Colour Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil delivers an intensively hydrating lip stain formula.
Pinch of Colour Waterless Lip Oil

Pinch of Colour Waterless Lip Oil

What It Is

  • A glossy lip stain in a tube that behaves like an intensively hydrating lip treatment.
  • It uses a precise lip brush applicator for clean application.
  • The feel is not sticky or greasy
  • It comes in three shades:
    • CREAM DREAM – a sheer caramel nude
    • BERRY BITE – a sheer raspberry red
    • PINK CRUSH – a sheer guava pink

Dream Cream, a caramel color shade on the fluffy applicator

Raspberry Bite

Raspberry Bite

The Look

Pretty pout with luscious sort of a precise just ate berries stained lips sheen. Once the gloss wears off, it leaves lips with a lasting smooth finish with a hint of lip stained color remaining. The colors are far more natural on the lip than we expected from the tubes.

A tube full of juicy color!

A tube full of juicy color!

It works over bare lips or over a lipstick. I love it as my first lip product for my morning commute before full precise lipstick application, or for more casual trying but not trying makeup looks.

 

Ingredients

Rose Canina Seed Oil

Rosa Canina Seed Oil

Rosa Canina Seed Oil is an emollient. It contains tocopherols (vitamin E) and carotenoids (pro-vitamin A) that gives it some nice antioxidant properties.

Rosa Canina Seed Oil is a moisturizing plant oil loaded with skin-nourishing fatty acids (linoleic acid – 51%, linolenic acid – 19% and oleic acid – 20%).

 

Apricot oil

Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca) Kernel Oil

An emollient that softens and smooths. Apricot oil is lighter than many other oils but still provides great sheen. It contains antioxidant vitamin E and nourishing fatty acids (mostly oleic acid 54-74%, linoleic acid 12-35%). It has nourishing and moisturizing properties (as a high oleic oil it’s ideal for dry skin types) and is quite easily absorbed into the skin.

Macadamia Nut Oil

Macadamia Nut Oil

Macadamia Nut Oil is a native Australian nut. Macadamia oil is very rich and contains many natural lipids. It is loaded with emollient and nourishing fatty acids. It’s a high oleic acid oil (50-67% oleic acid and only 0-5% linoleic acid) that makes it very emollient and ideal for dry skin types (and less ideal for acne-prone skin). Macadamia uniquely contains high amounts of a rare fatty acid called palmitoleic acid (12-25%) that give Macadamia oil a “cushiony” feel. It’s also easily absorbed and makes the skin soft and supple. 

Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils. Avo oil readily penetrates into the skin. It absorbs instead of sitting atop the skin, making it an ideal moisturizer for dry, chapped lips.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)

Vitamin E softens the skin, making scar tissue more pliable and soft.

What It does not contain

  • Water Free
  • Fragrance-Free
  • Paraben-Free
  • Non-Toxic
  • Vegan
  • Cruelty-Free

Not Tested on Animals.
