Pinch of Colour Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil in Pink Crush

March 18, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Seeking a pretty pink lippie that isn’t garish, immature, or just wrong is not an easy task. We have countless pink lip glosses that are pretty shades we are drawn to, but they are not flattering. Pinch of Colour Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil in Pink Crush is the perfect shade to provide just a hint of healthy color paired with hydrating ingredients.  More polished than a gloss but more natural-looking than a creamy lipstick, these lip oils provide a healthy lip look.
Pinch of Color Pink Crush is a guava pink - not too orange, not bubble gum

Pinch of Colour Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil in Pink Crush is a guava pink – not too orange, not bubble gum pink

The Problem of a Pretty Pink

A sophisticated yet flattering shade of pink is not so easy to find: it can’t be too bubble gum teenager pink. It can’t be so close to a nude that it doesn’t impart a peppy pop of color. It can’t be so vibrant that it lends towards a weird orange shade. Not hot fuschia, not pale red.

The perfect pink gloss is a tricky business. So we really like Pinch of Colour Pink Crush – it is a guava pink with a sheer yet enlivening touch of color.

Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil

Pinch of Color Healthy Lips Waterless Lip Oil is a glossy lip stain in a tube that behaves like an intensively hydrating lip treatment. The tube looks like an opaque lip cream but its actually a lovely sheer oil that is not sticky or greasy.

Features

  • It uses a precise lip brush applicator for clean application.
  • The feel is not sticky or greasy
Nourishing and natural ingredients

Nourishing, hydrating and natural ingredients- yet it is waterless

 

It comes in three shades:

  • CREAM DREAM – a sheer caramel nude
  • BERRY BITE – a sheer raspberry red
  • PINK CRUSH – a sheer guava pink

Pinch of Colour Waterless Lip Oil

Pinch of Colour Natural lip Oil

Pinch of Colour natural lip oil

 

It contains nourishing natural oils such as Apricot Kernel Oil and Macadamia Oil that give a healthy lip look while also delivering a pretty punch of color.

You will note there is no water on the ingredient list. Pinch of Colour creates skincare and makeup without using water as an ingredient. Check out this ingredient list:

Key Ingredients


Avocado Oil Ingredient featured on StyleChicks.com

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.

 

Rosehip

Rosa Canina Seed Oil

Rosa Canina Seed Oil is an emollient. It contains tocopherols (vitamin E) and carotenoids (pro-vitamin A) that give 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 oil

Apricot Kernel Oil

An emollient that softens and smooths. Apricot oil is lighter than many other oils but still provides a 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.

Vitamin E

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

 

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. 

 

What It does not contain

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

Not Tested on Animals.

Got winter weather woes? emerginC Vitality Mask soothes skin in a flash.

About emerginC Vitality Mask

emerginC Vitality Mask is a rich, buttery, luxury spa treatment that you can use at home.  It leaves skin absolutely glowing.  Your skin may be naturally sensitive, sensitive from actives such as retinol, or just sensitive from too much sun.

emerginC Vitality Mask leaves skin smooth and hydrated and comes with this useful little scoop

emerginC Vitality Mask leaves skin smooth and hydrated and comes with this useful little scoop

 

Let’s take a look at the soothing ingredients in this spa treat:

The Ingredients

Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid that comes from marigolds.

We may best know it as an “eye vitamin” but Lutein also promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.

 

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) improves cellular energy production and reduces inflammation, a major cause of aging. It gives skin a natural glow. It also helps the skin optimize the use of Vitamin C and CoQ10.

ALA improves cellular energy production, making skin look brighter. ALA is a powerful antioxidant.

 

Shea butter definition at StyleChicks.com Defining Beauty Glossary

Shea Butter

Butyrospermum Parkii

Better known as Shea Butter.

Shea Butter treats acne scars, including cystic acne dark scars.

Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture, even on deep burns.

 

 

Kaolin

Kaolin is a natural clay that absorbs oil and removes impurities. Ideal for treating oily and acne-prone skin.

 

Olives benefits the skin

Squalane comes from olives

Squalane

Vegan squalane comes from olives. It has all the benefits of Olive Oil but without greasiness.

Squalane mimics the skin’s natural sebum and makes the skin barrier extra smooth and soft. It is suitable for even highly sensitive or irritated skin.

 

Tocopherol

A potent form of Vitamin E used in skincare. Tocopherol softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

 

Cetyl Alcohol

C-16 fatty alcohol is one of the “good alcohols” as it is moisture binding.

 

Ubiquinone

COQ10 is a topical vitamin in skincare to improve skin texture and elastin production.

Co-Enzyme Q-10 is an antioxidant naturally present in the skin but decreases with sun exposure.

Ubiquinone is necessary for collagen synthesis.

 

Glycerin attracts moisture

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural, vegetable-derived humectant for the skin. It helps to retain moisture.

 

 

Retinyl Palmitate

A form of Vitamin A. Retinyl palmitate is an antioxidant found naturally in our skin, a natural form of Vitamin A that helps with wrinkles and fine lines.

It also boosts collagen production to make skin look younger and plumper. And it promotes cell regeneration.

If you are unable to tolerate wearing retinol overnight, this masque is a great way to still get the benefits without irritation.

 

Biotin

Biotin is Vitamin H. Biotin aids skin hydration, moisturizes, and restores dry skin. It also helps fight acne. It makes skin glow, reduces redness and skin cracking.

The Experience

In about ten minutes, EmerginC Vitality Mask provides softer, hydrated skin that feels super smooth. Skin left feeling tight from too much cold, wind, or sun feels balanced again.  All you need is a small scoop to get spa results from home!

Twice weekly seems the right balance for my dry, sensitive skin to become soft, glowing skin.

Strawberry Leopard Haircolor

January 14, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Strawberry Leopard is a vegan semi-permanent that leaves hair in better condition than it found it. It comes in an array of vivid hues for a bright pick me up without the damage typically associated with dying your hair dramatic shades.

 Strawberry Leopard Vegan Conditioning Semi-Permanent Color

Strawberry Leopard Vegan Conditioning Semi-Permanent Color

 

Meet Strawberry Leopard.

Love vibrant shades but hate the hair damage that often comes with it? Then check out Strawberry Leopard!

Strawberry Leopard in "Grapeful"

Strawberry Leopard in “Grapeful”

What It Is

A semi-permanent, Vegan, conditioning formula with bonding technology. Vivid color without hair damage.

Why It Is Special

It is super easy to use this cruelty-free formula and it leaves hair in better condition with several nourishing ingredients.

It leaves no colorful residue on the sink or shower tile.

There is no developer to mix, yet it deposits bright color, with the brightest results seen on pre-lightened hair.

To that end, Strawberry Leopard makes an excellent lightening kit with everything you need to get a good clean base for your bright colors to look their best.

We will cover the Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit in a future post.

Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit comes with everything you need to pre-lighten your hair for tipping, highlighting or bleaching

How to Use It

Choose your shade or shades.  Mix any shade with the Strawberry Leopard Pastel Mixer for more subtle results. Unlike traditional dyes, it smells like a fruity treat. It reminds me of strawberry candy!

Shake the bottle well. Then apply in a tint bowl and tint brush method to your clean, dry hair in quadrants. It is best applied in one-inch sections. No developer to mix, and no nasty smell! Leave on for 20 minutes.

You can use foil to do just a section of hair.

You can mix colors together to make a custom shade, or apply several colors.

Just rinse with cool water, no shampoo or conditioner afterward. The color lasts up to 8 weeks.

easy to spread Gouache gel paint like texture

It is an easy to spread Gouache gel paint-like texture – not at all runny or drippy

Once the bottle is opened, it lasts for a year.

TIP: The Strawberry Leopard website says that a small amount of Strawberry Leopard Semi-Permanent Hair Color can be mixed with your daily conditioner to keep color vibrant between touchups.

Strawberry Leopard Shades

Strawberry Leopard comes in 17 shades and a Pastel Mixer. The Pastel Mixer lets you turn any shade into its’ pretty pastel counterpart.

Here are a few shades we got to try:

 

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a true blue shade, a crisp and highly pigmented crystal clear hue.

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a rich, creamy true blue hue.

 

The creamy gel consistency spreads easily without being runny.

“Fingerpainting” with Loyal Blue shows the color. Leave on a full 20 minutes to see this shade on your hair, less for a more subtle effect. Highly pigmented, true blue shade

Grapeful

Strawberry Leopard Grapeful is an intensely purple shade.  It looks almost black coming out of the bottle because it is so highly pigmented. It is similar to purple toning shampoo in an indigo purple intense color.

Here is how the color looks when “fingerpainted” in indoor (top) and outdoor (bottom) light:

Grapeful has a rich pigmented color. It is a creamy gel texture that spreads easily for applying as thin or thick as you desire

Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali is a pretty strawberry pink with a hint of bright coral. The result is a soft rose gold pink. Here is a close up:

Gray Hair:  While it will leave some tint on gray hair, as always, gray is generally tricky. But this is a conditioning formula, so you have nothing to lose by experimenting! The darker shades leave more pigment on gray hair than the pastels.

Another thing that is special about Strawberry Leopard is how well it treats hair after it has been bleached. Bleached hair is often porous, dry, and damaged.

Take a look at some of the ingredients in this conditioning vegan formulation:

The Ingredients

Mango Seed Extract restores dry, damaged hair

Mango Seed Extract

Mango Seed provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it keeps hair hydrated and nourished.

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

Mango Seed Extract is high in copper, which supports healthy hair follicles.

 

Shea butter definition at StyleChicks.com Defining Beauty Glossary

Shea Butter

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is protective and nourishing.

 

Panthenol

Panthenol (B5)  is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture. This makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance. [1]

For very porous hair, Panthenol behaves like a protein.

 

 

Rice Bran

Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice protein is a secret hair weapon because it contains Inositol.

Inositol repairs hair breakage and damage. It penetrates deeply into the hair and helps repair the broken hair bonds.

Hydrolyzed Rice protein also contains Antioxidants, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, and amino acids.[2]

 

 

Lavender Oil softens hair and skin

Lavender

Lavender Flower

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep the scalp healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any scalp imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances hair cell growth.

 

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E promotes scalp health.

 

This formula has a hydrating Sunflower Oil base combined with soothing, skin rejuvenating natural ingredients

This formula has hydrating Sunflower Seed

Sunflower Seed Extract

Sunflower Seed Oil retains moisture in brittle hair, thereby reducing hair breakage.

Ideal for coarse, colored, bleached, curly, or damaged hair because it penetrates the hair shaft to lock and retain moisture.

It contains Omega 9, an essential acid needed to stop breakage and stimulate hair growth.

The main component of sunflower oil is linoleic acid. Its other components include oleic acid and palmitic acid, lecithin, carotenoids, tocopherols, and numerous vitamins.

 

 

Flax

Flaxseed

Linseed Seed Extract

Linseed, AKA flaxseed, is high in fatty acid Omega-3s.

It is considered a hair “superfood” as it creates lush hair and reduces breakage.

THE EXPERIENCE

Thanks to the VIOLA ROUGE Pick Your Perfect Shade Quiz, I found two lipsticks that are perfect for my skin tone. I can’t count the number of lipsticks I have tried over the years trying to find a shade like Blueberry Flower, but as soon as I applied it I knew it was what I have been looking for. The same is true of Status Symbol. Having found two shades that are an exact match for my skin’s undertones, I can’t wait to try the others that the quiz recommended for me!

The texture is silky, weightless, and glides on evenly and with precision.

It is transfer-resistant and long-wearing, but not at all drying. Quite the contrary in fact: I found it exceptionally hydrating all day long without the need to reapply.

Blueberry flower lipstick is a deep fuchsia pink with a satin finish. It works for Pink, Blue, & Olive skin undertones.
