Zuii Organic Cosmetics

As I was buying some produce at my health food store, I was chatting with a good friend who has been working there for a few years.

She told me that they were in the process of expanding their personal care line and incorporating more cosmetics.

I was about to pick-up a back up of Sibu's 100% Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil, when I came across the cutest display of cosmetics.

I had never heard of Zuii Organic Cosmetics and was very intrigued to check out their line of products.

The company is based in Australia and prides itself on being animal cruelty-free and USDA Certified Organic.

They are the first company to use USDA Certified Organic flowers as bases for their formulas. Organic jasmine, rose and chamomile are the ingredients responsible for soothing the skin and gliding/blending effortlessly to create that perfect finish. I was sold, to say the least.

As far as what is offered, they carry everything you would imagine a cosmetics company would -- from foundation to lip gloss. The packaging is very eco-friendly, sleek and elegant.

I'm a fan of simple elegance and Zuii has done a wonderful job of combining simplicity with quality.

The foundations (pressed-powder and liquid) come in a range of colours. For a lighter coverage, I suggest you go with their Organic Flora Liquid Foundation which is beautifully rose-scented. Then, top it off with a light dusting of the Organic Flora Pressed Powder Foundation in the t-zone.

As far as blushes and eyeshadow goes, they offer a variety of colours. What really impressed me about these pressed pigments was the vibrancy and payoff. They are extremely pigmented and the eyeshadows can even be used wet as eyeliner for a bolder look.

The blushes come in flattering shades of matte and highlighting, shimmery finishes. The possibilities are endless when it comes to blending colours together to create your favourite look.

Lipstick and lip gloss shades are pigmented, stay put and come in a variety of shades. From the most innocent pinks to the dark and daring purples, Zuii's lip products have it all!

I haven't had a chance to try out the mascara as I'm still going strong with my current one, but I'm eager to try out the formula with a cobalt blue tint. Rockin' that 80's look!

You can order their products from the website here or let your local natural beauty store know you're interested.

To put it short and sweet, I can honestly say that I am very impressed with this line. I've been using the products for the last couple of months and I look forward to testing out more colours from future collections.
