Amazing Nature Mineral Makeup

We’re treated to year-round sunshine in Hong Kong, but with that comes the dreaded  humidity and sadly, pollution too. We’re seasoned pros at beating the shine and keeping our skin looking matte, but it can be tricky to find a beauty line that helps our skin to breathe and heal, rather than clogging our pores on a sticky summers day. Well, it’s all changing, girls because mineral makeup is taking over the beauty industry and we are on board!

A really cool gift for makeup fanatics, renowned Swedish beauty line, IDUN Minerals is making waves in the 852 with its light-weight range that is free from nasty chemicals and metals, and instead promoting nourished and healthy skin. Its cult product, the SPF 15 ‘Powder Foundation’ only contains six minerals and has passed stringent dermatology testing to ensure that it is suitable for all skin types, especially highly sensitive skin. We’re also huge fans of its Rich Moisture Serum that gives your skin a welcome boost of hydration using hyaluronic and malic acid as well as Vitamin B3. Delivered in packaging designed by Patricia Gucci (how cool is that?!) these gifts will have your beautiful besties feeling good from the inside out.

Sassy perk: Found the perfect beauty gift? Amazing Nature is gifting YOU to a 10% discount on single items and special prices on gift sets online when using the *code “Xmas2017” upon checkout (expires Thursday, 21 December).
