I am reviewing the following products; eyelite pencil, concealer,black eyeliner, foundation, 2 lip and cheek colours and one lipstick

First up is eyelite $10
This is a mineral pink brightening eyelite pencil that you use on the inner and outer corners of the eye to help you look refreshed and awake. On the site it is said that it CONCEALS, CORRECTS and HIGHLIGHTS.

My experience; This product really does what it says! It made me look much brighter. I enjoyed using this and I would for sure recommend this to everyone and want to buy it again when mine runs out. It's great for making you look more perky, and I would say a must for my make up routine now! You get a lot for your money, a big chunky pencil.

Concealer $6.00
This non-comedogenic, acne safe, extra coverage concealer stick covers anything you don't want the world to see. It blends like a dream.


My experience; This isn't as thick as concealers I have used in the past but it does cover those imperfections well, without masking your face, it really does glide on, it feels expensive and high quality. I recommend this highly as I have pretty bad dark eye circles and some broken veins around my nose and it worked really well for that. I will definitely buy more when mine runs out for sure!! I have also noticed that using this along with the foundation of theirs actually treats your skin as you wear it so when you come to remove your make up, your skin looks healthy, where as in the past I have found that using make up a lot makes my skin break out, even the so called non- comedomic ones. Not this stuff! It's fab, not to mention a great price too!

Lip and cheek stains $6
These little multi-taskers are great lipsticks and a blush. Featured in craftgossip.com!
Like all of my products it is convenient, fast and long lasting. Super long-lasting mineral formula keeps lips in tip top condition. Rich in color and beneficial oils and butters.


My experience;
These are wonderful!!! I am used to using a powder blush but I really don't think I'll ever go back to them now as this product makes your skin look fresh and dewy. Great price, great feel on the skin, non greasy, last for hours on the cheeks before a re-touch. I however constantly lick my lips so have to reapply this frequently but I imagine it would last on the lips ages as it does on the cheeks. Great price, so great you could treat yourself to a few. I get really dry lips and this made my lips feel silky smooth.

Black eyeliner $9
Are you constantly looking for a great eyeliner?
Well Here it is. I have tried them all and quite frankly I was tired of putting chemicals on my face and eyes. This special formula was created by me and is not available anywhere else. It's ALL natural.
Great for sensitive eyes. Hypoallergenic.
This one glides on, doesn't pull and is great for smudging under and above the eye.


My experience;
You get so much for your money here! 9 bucks and it will last years I am sure. It has a great rich colour, glides on effortlessly, you can have a line or have a nice smudge effect. Great to know something going that close to your eyeball is 100% natural eh? I loved it.

Foundation.$3
All Natural and good for your skin, moisturizing without being greasy and blends perfectly!
You don't really need anything but blush with this formula.
Great for mature skin. Doesn't look like a mask over your skin. Enhances the beauty of your skin! Clarifies and keeps skin clear.


My experience ;
OMG, you guys HAVE to try this. It is amazing!!! I swear it made me look younger and dewy and healthy, just gorgeous. It went on so easily and didn't sit like a mask on my face covering up my natural-ness. It really just enhanced what I have. I love it, I even look forward to putting it on, haha!

lip rx colour and shine
This modern, long lasting formula keeps lips hydrated and colored with a nice shine. I wanted to design a formula that wasn't a stain or drying or too shiny. A lipstick and a lip gloss all in one. Minerals help heal lips with nourishing oils and shea butter.


My experience;
This lipstick made my lips so soft! Usually lipsticks tend to dry out my lips but not this one. It lasted a long time once applied too, very rich colour and felt expensive. I got the colour carma which isn't my usual shade as it is a pretty copper tone but i would totally buy this lipstick again in one of the pink tones for sure, just lovely.

All in all the products feel very expensive, high quality and make you look fantastic. I cannot rave about this company enough to people I know. I will never go back to my £28 bottle of foundation with gawd knows what in it and once my old make up runs out, I will be replacing it with Erzulie products.

I am a bit of a sucker for nice packaging but these items come in simple and clean looking containers but I would rather have high quality in the product that a company charging me for fancy containers and filling them with mediocre product.
I will be putting an order with Rhonda soon. I like value for money and I like the fact that it is all natural. They bring out your natural beauty, treating your skin whilst you wear them, AWESOME!!

Her prices are very reasonable and the products look great on you! I've been researching mineral makeup the past month or so - so this article was right up my alley :)

Thanks for the reviews! I have been using a mineral foundation but have been looking to switch my other products to natural ones too.

I hope you do reviews of more eco-friendly products! I'll keep reading. :)

What a fantastic post! Is there anywhere in the UK that sells these products or did you buy them from abroad? I am especially interested in the eyeliner and foundation... I have replaced all my makeup products with more natural ones though I can't find a good eyeliner/foundation! xx

Rebecca!
Shipping is reasonable and because prices are so good I really do recommend you buy them from Rhonda, simply because I KNOW how good they are.
Haven't tried any UK indie companies yet for make up. xx
