When buying a gift set for the beauty lover in your life, there are two suggestions I’d make as a shopping writer. One, the shade range has to be universal to complement a variety of skin tones. And two, it features full-size products that will impress your friend/ loved one without causing damage to your bank balance.
Ticking every box is the Vieve Rosa Duo Set. Not only is this a super-stylish-looking kit (the fashion girlies will love it, too), but it contains two of Vieve’s best selling products – Lip Dew and Sunset Blush Balm. Both are in the shade Rosa, a muted pinky-brown hue, so it’s a wearable and warming colour palette to wear throughout autumn and beyond.
What I love about the Vieve Rosa Duo Set:
- It contains two full-size products, with a 25% off saving
- The shade Rosa is a very wearable, pinky-nude hue, both as a lip gloss and blush
- The Sunset Blush Balm has a radiant, dewy finish
- The Lip Dew layers on a non-sticky, high-shine gloss with a rose-tinted finish
If you’ve never explored this makeup brand before, I highly *highly* encourage you to. Created by MUA Jamie Genevieve, all of its products not only look effortlessly chic in your makeup bag, but work really hard to deliver exceptional, long-lasting pigment. Jamie calls the products “small luxuries” as they instantly elevate your look, while being very simple to use.
The same goes for this little kit. Firstly, you have the Sunset Blush Balm – which comes in a slightly burnished hue, to add a moody, rich warmth across your complexion. This type of shade also complements a variety of skin tones, so no matter who is wearing it, it’ll create the illusion of a faux post-summer glow all year round
As the blush is a liquid formula, you can keep layering up until you achieve the perfect intensity to your liking. If you’re buying for a teenager or someone who prefers delicate makeup, one layer does plenty to warm up the cheeks while adding a dewy finish. If you’re gifting to the ultimate glam-zilla, it can be built up to deliver a punchier result. Either way the finish is the same – giving you that luminous, sun-kissed radiance even on the cloudiest of days.
As for the Lip Dew, this is the perfect glossy lip to wear with the Sunset Blush Balm. Also in the shade Rosa, it layers on a high-shine finish and with a delicate pink sheen. The pigment is on the lighter side, simply enhancing the shade of your natural lip colour. Otherwise, you can amplify it with a nude lip liner to give your lips more definition.
Whether you’re keeping it for yourself (I don’t blame you) or placing it under the Christmas tree for a loved one to enjoy, the price tag can be justified either way. Together the Lip Dew and Sunset Blush Balm cost £45, but this full-size kit comes in at £33.
