SORBET SHIMMER AND GLOW SHIMMER BRONZER {REVIEW}

Today is the final product review of my "Sorbet Week" here on Beauty Shout box and it's on their 
Shimmer & Glow Bronzer. 
wouldn't normally chose a bronzer over a blusher, but my all time fave bronzer from 
Autograph by Marks & Spencer  had hit pan and I was needing a replacement.




They have 2 Bronzing compacts on offer BRONZED BROWN and JUST PEACHY and I went for the 
later shade option.
I have been impressed with the packaging of all 3 products that I have reviewed, as they do have a more, up market quality feel and the Bronzer compact with a mirror is the same.


 Bronzers are an instant pick me up for any skin, as the Illuminating particles shimmer and shine to give you a radiance and glow and this one does that particularly well.
The colour pay off on the skin is good and the Sorbet Baked Powder Technology gives a luxurious finish.
The Pearl particles help to capture  the light and create a soft glow, which is always flattering for all, but especially to us "Oldies".



 Always fascinated by the striping on any blusher or bronzer this particular one from Sorbet is beautifully done. Sorbets gentle combination of minerals and corn starch baked in a unique way achieve the glistening striped pattern.

Just sweep across the cheekbones, temples and nose in fact any where the sun would naturally hit the face and as an added bonus this particular bronzer can be used as an eyeshadow making this 2in1 product handy to have.

Over this past week I have reviewed 3 Sorbet make-up items and since my disastrous intro to the Sorbet make-up collection last year, with their foundation ,I've become somewhat of a convert, especially when it comes to the affordable price point, like the Less 30% Clicks currently have running, I would without hesitation recommend all of these
3 core make-up products. as they that can all be picked up for a grand total of
R350 and that's what I call a 
"Make-Up Steal"

SORBET GET LIPPY MOISTURISING LIP COLOUR {REVIEW}

I was initially drawn to this product because of its name, as LIPPY is a term
 I use all the time, 
so I just had to put this Sorbet GET LIPPY Lipstick to the test.





GET LIPPY Moisturising Lip Colour comes in 12 shades, 
which isn't a huge selection, 
but I was immediately drawn to my perfect shade - TRUE.
Sorbet also offer Matte Kisses Lipstick (6 Matte shades)
GET LIPPY is a beautiful, easy to wear, natural looking soft pink that I'm 
loving and it's one of those shades that will always find a place in
 my Lipstick wardrobe.


The first thing you will notice about the formula of this lipstick is how easily
 it glides over the lips and considering it's a moisturising lip colour its
 surprisingly long wearing.
 Both nourishing and moisturising this formula contains coconut, lanolin, sun protection additives and anti-oxidant vitamin E to fight harmful free radicals.

This is now my 2nd Sorbet review this week and the final one will be up on
 Sunday and considering my "not so good" review of the
 Face First Ant-Ageing Foundation last year my faith has been restored
 in this brand, 
as so far we have 2 out of 2 Winners...

SORBET WAY-OUT LASHES MASCARA {REVIEW}

SORBET reached out to me recently and asked if they could send me some of their make-up products to try and I have to admit I was rather surprised, as the only product that I have  previously tried from their make-up collection was their rather forgettable 
and way overpriced

(I believe this foundation ,that originally retailed for R299, is now retailer for R145
so I'm guessing that they have re structured their pricing to be more affordable 
and as I pointed out in my original review above this local foundation price was on a par with some international brands pricing.)

 Sadly this foundation even made it onto my My Top 5 Most Disliked Products 2018, post,
so let's put that aside and see what their 
SORBET WAY-OUT LASHES MASCARA
 has to offer.



They have a couple of mascara options depending on your lash needs, but I opted for the Lengthening + Defining mascara.
One of my many criteria for a good mascara is the packaging, as it has to feel weighty, yet nicely balanced in my hand, if it feels light weight or awkward, then it's on the back foot immediately. However I'm glad to report that this passes those initial tests, as it feels quality and not clumsy to apply.

The brush is also a vital component of a mascara and again this passes with flying colours, as the slim silicone brush is super easy to control and you're able to coat individual lashes easily, to easily achieve definition and separate, especially on this lower and outer corner lashes.

The formula is lightweight and long wearing with fibres to give you wide-eyed, leggy lash look, which I love. The carbon black pigments give a jet black finish and it contains vitamin E and natural waxes for conditioning.
It's buildable and after a few coats I found my lashes to look quite defined and definitely lengthened.I also didn't experience any smudging or flaking and it was easy to remove with my usual make-up remover.

I recently compiled My Top 5 Mascaras and to be honest if my list had been My Top 10 
then this mascara would have been included.

After a rather disappointing introduction to the Sorbet make-up range, I would without hesitation recommend this mascara and especially at the current special offer price below...It's a winner!


I will also be posting my "take" on a couple of other Sorbet make-up items this week,
so be sure to check back in on Thursday and Sunday.
