Delilah Cosmetics Compact Powder Blusher in Clementine & Farewell Cream Concealer

Still relatively new to the scene, Delilah cosmetics is a British brand that came out last year, its a concise range of wearable classic shades, my previous review is here.

I bought another blusher (the brand offer 3 blushers) this time in the shade Clementine (£26). Its a pretty peachy/coral with a satin finish, pigment is initially sheer but it is buildable.


It applies well with a lightweight feel and a long lasting wear.

Shown with my other Delilah blusher in shade Lullaby (on the right), swatched then blended in.


I really love how natural these blushers look and the ease with which they apply.

Ingredients:


I was looking for a stick concealer I could keep in my handbag so bought the Farewell Cream Concealer in the lightest shade, Linen (£24).

The shade works well for my pale skin and has a slight yellow undertone. The stick has a creamy yet lightweight texture. Its got a bit of slip to it but not so much that it slides off. Its very blendable and doesn't cake up or stick to dry patches. Coverage its light to medium, not enough for my dark circles but its good for disguising redness. As long as I set this with powder it lasts me the whole day.
Shown below with other concealers for comparison L-R: Omorovicza Mineral Touch in Ivory (this is too yellow for me), Delilah Farewell Cream Concealer in Linen, MAC Matchmaster shade #1 (this is too dark for me)

Ingredients:


Delilah is now available on the UK Space.NK website, which is a good sign, as I think its very difficult for new brands to find their place in an already over saturated market.

I'm really pleased with anything I've tried from the range thus far and would love to see some different products and additional colours come out. I think if your makeup preference is a more sedate, natural elegant look then Delilah is the brand for you.

New brand on the scene: Delilah Cosmetics

Delilah is a new British brand launched this year, created by three friends in the beauty industry (makeup artist, beauty buyer and photographer).

I've seen few reviews of the products however when I looked at their website I was immediately drawn to the colour palette of wearable, everyday shades. The range has a boutique style about it and the packaging comes in eye catching metal containers, some with rose gold accents.
I immediately put the brand on my Christmas wish list so was delighted when my mother bought me a few items.

First up of the three blushers in the range I got Lullaby (£26). Its a pigmented pink with a hint of warmth and matte/satin finish.

It has a lightweight, silky texture and lasts the whole day with only very little colour fade. Though the colour is not necessarily unique it just applies so beautifully on the skin with no need for blending, it really is a pleasure to use.

Ingredients:

From the eyeshadows (which are available in matte or shimmer finishes) I got Flamingo (£20). Its a shimmery, slightly icy champagne peach.

It has a lightweight, smooth, creamy texture. Its not powdery in the least and there is no fall out. It applies really well, non drying nor patchy and is easy to blend and layer.

Its a lovey brightening shade to freshen up a look.

Ingredients:

Lastly from the Colour Intense, Cream Lipsticks (£24 each), I got shades, Hush and Honesty.

Hush is a warm rosy shade and Honesty is a purple/mauve, the pigment level is intense and both shades have a very long wear time.


The lipsticks have a creamy formulation with a velvet feel and silky matte finish. I don't find these hydrating though they don't accentuate dry areas.

Ingredients:

I have to say I'm very impressed, the range has that luxurious feel to it with a high quality performance. I really like the idea of a range of easy to wear, classic shades (rather than following changes in fashions/trends) that creates a subtle and understated beauty. 

My mother bought me these from www.delilahcosmetics.com (unfortunately availability is limited, at the moment they seem only available in certain hotels/spas and their online site, my mother said the online order came very quickly and was well packaged.).
