A range of sensorial products as beauty talismans, each product is housed in packaging inspired by multifaceted rose quartz.

Powerful prep

Begin with skin prep that allows you to really centre yourself and feel the benefit of time to prepare for the day ahead. Start by reaching for Hydrating Face Primer and apply all over your face, breathing in the violet floral aroma as you apply it into your skin. Created with a water based texture that provides a moisturising effect up to 18% after 14 days of daily treatment. It feels instantly fresh and soft on your skin and creates a long-lasting soft focus effect.

Next, bring effortless colour to your face with a trio of floral scented products designed to deliver effortless low – the true flush of love. Use Double Side Ended Precision Face Brush to apply Duo Compact Blush & Highlighter first, sweeping compact matte blush across the apples of your cheeks and radiant highlighter to the highest point of your cheekbones. Choose from one of two versatile shade combinations: Falling In Mauve or Coral Seduction. Offering two buildable formulas in one palette, you can effortlessly blend to create a dreamy, hyper-natural look, enjoying the silky, soft touch texture as you do. In alternative, build deeper radiance with Powder Radiance Highlighter, lightly dusting the pearl infused particles to places on your face that would catch the light. Then, layer on Duo Creamy Blush in Romeo & Juliet or Lovebirds to intensify your cheek colour, experimenting with the multi-purpose textures – dab lightly with your fingers for an undone look or apply with a brush for more precision.

Enchanting eyes

Create a mesmerising eye look starting with a slick of Duo Eye Primer & Liquid Eyeshadow, using first the primer and then the liquid eyeshadow side for a sweep of metallic shimmer. There’s pinky Rose Me Tender, copper toned Magnetic Eye or rich brown Madly In Love. To strengthen your eye catch look apply a shade palette drawn straight from the semi precious colour wheel – play with tones inspired by a spectrum of gems from selenite and moonstone to bloodstone and deepest, darkest obsidian. Pull colour combinations from Eyeshadow Palettes combining matte and metallic crystal tones, choosing from brown-toned In Sync With You, pink-toned Spell of Love or deep green Opposites Attract.

Next, define your eyes, creating a sense of mysterious beauty with long wearing Eyeliner Duo in Mystical Smoky Quartz, Emerald Vibes or Charming Obsidian, using the marker end to define your upper lid with a precisely defined liner flick and the kajal end to line the inner waterline of your eye.

Now, amp up the intensity with  Volume & Curling Mascara; a truly magical addition to the line up. Offering extreme volume effect, colour and definition with just one touch, it’s a beauty bag must-have for a high octane eye look. Brush on two coats to define and separate upper and lower lashes for a super volume effect.

Finish your eye look with a mineral flourish: Little Gem All Over Top Coat applied to the temples, from the corners of your eyes right out your hairline Don’t be too precise – it’s a look that feels gorgeously and more than a little mystical. And remember this product is multi-functional to apply on top of eyelids, as lipstick or even as a final touch over your final make up for a bright and luminous finish.

Loving lips

Bring rich gemstone colour to your lips with textured products designed to enhance your natural skintone. Begin by defining your lips with high precision Long Lasting Lip Pencil in six shades, designed to long last up to 12h, and match it with your favourite Demi Matte Liquid Lipstick. So, choose your favourite shade for a creamy or gloss finish. This lipstick offers a comfortable, highly pigmented liquid texture in six shades enriched with a floral violet aroma while Stunning Creamy Lipstick comes in three blendable, full coverage shades – Kiss Me Softly, Mauve Embrace & Red Talisman– each enhanced with a hint of glitter for a marbled finish effect. For a touch of gloss, choose Duo Lip Colour & Gloss in Honey Bun, Brown Cuddles or Mauve Jade, starting with the tinted kajal and topping up with the shiny top coat end.
