Rawrgirls Review . . . ArtDeco - Jungle Fever Collection!

Wednesday 9 July 2014

ArtDeco is defo one of my fave mid-range beauty brands, mainly because I'm always impressed by their affordable, innovative and trend led products, but also because they're based in Liverpool and I can't go to Liverpool One without stopping by the Debenhams concession and pawing at the goodies! The new bronzing collection, Jungle Fever, is a super colourful range featuring eyeshadows, bronzers and lipsticks in tropical tan enhancing shades to help us feel like life is a beach every day!
I was sent two products to add to my collection (lucky me!), the Bronzing Glow Blusher (£20) and Art Couture Lipstick in Pearl Mandarin Orange (£16.50). 

I'm a sucker for a good bronzer, I have about 4 on the go right now because I dabble in a bit (okay, A LOT) of contouring, so this new ArtDeco compact is a godsend because it actually houses three shades, all with a gold shot so they blend together beautifully! It's HELLA good. I use all three colours in one swipe to get a warm shimmering glow on my cheekbones, or I contour using the bronze colour and then use one or both pinks on the apples of my cheeks for a more 'made up' look. It's weirdly foolproof too, the brush (I use a Real Techniques Blush Brush) seems to pick up just the right amount with each stroke so there's no fear of stripey cheek syndrome with the first touch! I'm really quite taken with this one, and the gorgeous J-Lo in Versace-esque packaging just makes it even more covetable ;)

Art Couture lipstick has a gel like texture, so it shines like a gloss but with the durability of a lipstick leaving a long lasting but soft look to your lips. I've been after a new orange lipstick for literally months, and I've swatched and swatched but just not been able to commit because they're either too matte, too red toned, or too tame and sheer. This one is just right! A true ORANGE orange, with a pearlescent gold shimmer to make your lips POP! It reminds me of my all time favourite Versace lipgloss from yonks ago, which once used up was discontinued and never to be seen again, so hurrah! I'm actually considering buying this one up and putting them in storage . . .

*cringey old perv voice* Look at the shine on that - OOOF! Seriously, you could squeeze that colour and get your daily dose of vitamin C, YUM!

Overall, fine holiday fun, ArtDeco wins again, two enthusiastic thumbs up for both products :)

The Jungle Fever collection is out now with prices starting at £8 for an eyeshadow. You can find ArtDeco at Debenhams both instore and online, and BeautyBay online. If like us you're social media mad, I recommend following them on Facebook for counter events, competitions and release news :)

  2. I've been after a good orange lipstick for an age, but I haven't found one, so you have definitely tempted me here.
