Review: Nature's Brilliance By Sue

Sue is the Sole Proprietor of Nature's Brilliance By Sue. It was formed to help people locate products for their skin tone & skin type. Sue has dealt with multiple allergies for years and through persistence and exhaustive research has found a line of natural mineral make-up and organic skin and body care products suitable for all skin types, even those with multiple allergies. Nature's Brilliance By Sue will not sell any product that is not 100% Natural or Organic and has not been tested by the owner her self. 


Sue the owner is very kind to send me some eye shadow samples, some lip products, and a hand + body lotion to review.

Mineral Eye Colors
Retail: $6.00
Sale: $5.00

Below are the swatches of the eye shadows. I am sorry again that the images are blurry. I cannot capture the eye shadows' true color. All their eye colors are mica and/or iron oxide minerals with no fillers.
(Left to Right) 008PL Faded Khakis, 006PL Amethyst Dreams
 Faded Khakis is a pale khaki with a copper iridescence. Amethyst Dreams is a pale amethyst with a turquoise iridescence  

039S Silver Snow, 027S Taupe Treasure, 010S Pink Pearls
 Silver Snow is a very pretty shimmery silver color. Taupe Treasure is a nice shimmery copper color. I know you cant really Pink Pearl but it is a very pretty shimmery pink with a hint of white in it.
011SM Aquatic, 008SM Coral Reef, 017SM Deep Chocolate, 012SM Moonstone,
The Matte colors are much easier to capture because they doesn't have shimmer so it won't reflect light. Aquatic is a beautiful blue green color that reminds me of mermaid. Coral Reef is a coral color with a hint of red pink in it. Deep Chocolate looks just like chocolate but unfortunately it doesn't smell like it. Lastly, we have Moonstone. This is very beautiful lavender color with a hint of gray.

My Thoughts
Overall the eye shadows are very pigmented but you have to put an eye shadow primer first in order for the color to show up more. I have experience some fall outs but it's not a big problem for me. I love that their eye shadows are all natural and organic. All the colors are very pretty and I love them all. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Colorful Lip Balm in "Coral"
Pomegranate Butter Lip Gloss in "Orchids in Blooms"
 

Pomegranate Butter Lip Gloss in "Orchids in Blooms"
Retail: $7.00 
Sale: $6.00
Ingredients
Pomegranate Butter (Pomegranate Fruit, Shea Butter & Jojoba Oil), Castor Seed Oil, Beeswax, Lauryl Laurate (Veg.), Carnauba Wax, Glycerin (Veg.), Lecithin (Veg.), Jojoba Protein HP, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Natural Vitamin E. 0.30 oz.

My Thoughts
This lip gloss is a little hard to get out of the little jar. You cannot use your finger to rub it and expect it to come out because it won't. I need to use a cotton swab to scrape some out then apply to my lip. Overall, this lip gloss is nice because it is not like your ordinary lip gloss that you apply with a wand or squeeze out of tube. This color gives a nice orchid color to the lip and it looks nice on my pigmented lip.

 My Thoughts
I absolutely love this lip balm because it not only moisturize dry lip but gives it a coral color. I think this lip balm is perfect for people with pale lip to give it more color. I do have to reapply once in a while but every lip balm is like that. The color of this lip balm looks very pigmented on my lips. I would definitely recommend this to others.

My Thoughts
Overall this lotion gives my hand a smooth finish. I love the smell but all I can smell is Rose. The consistency of this lotion is like a gel-cream which is very smooth and silky like.

 Here is a look I created using three of the eye shadows from Nature's Brilliance By Sue. I also use the Coral Lip Balm and the Orchid in Bloom Lip Gloss on my lip.

First apply eyeshadow primer all over lid. Then using an eyeshadow brush, gentlely pat 027S Taupe Treasure all over lid. Second, using the same brush, pat 008M Coral Reef on the inner half of the lid. Third use a blending fluffy brush and blend some 017SM Deep Chocolate on the outer V of the lid. Keep blending until you see no harsh line. Apply some of the Deep Chocolate to the bottom lash line. The curl your lashes and apply your favorite mascara.
