I am thrilled to be able to say that REESON Beauty Lid Elixir has been super popular and we have struggled to keep it in stock. Luckily is it back on pre-order now, so don’t miss out.

I basically made Lid Elixir for me because I have wanted smoother, more youthful looking eye lids for the longest time and there wasn’t anything out there that I felt would do the job.
Like the Bronzing Balm and the Highlighter Duo, the REESON Beauty Lid Elixir is a skincare-makeup hybrid product, and a truly skincare-first formula. It is a peptide packed serum-tint designed to treat the eye lids. The challenge was to add long lasting, crease resistant colour and soft shine. But we did it. Lid Elixir took over 3 years to formulate!

MATRIXYL SYNTHE 6 – powerful peptide also known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38. Boosts collagen and elastin synthesis and works with the skin’s natural matrix to produce a visible smoothing and lifting effect. Studies have shown it improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dullness
GATULINE LINK N LIFT – Horse Chestnut Extract works to stimulate cellular dynamism of fibroblasts. Studies show that it reconnects the epidermis with the dermis to reinforce the skin’s structure and reduce wrinkles
SODIUM HYALURONATE – form of Hyaluronic Acid with a smaller molecular size, it helps to plump and firm the delicate eye area, smooths the appearance of the eye lids, and provides long-lasting hydration for an elastic skin surface
SQUALANE – helps maintain moisture in the skin, leaving skin feeling supple and more comfortable. Boosting hydration can help your skin to appear more vibrant and healthier.


Apply a tiny amount of Lid Elixir directly on to the lids with with either fingertips or a small brush.. You can tap to blend out the edges or blend with a brush. For extra smoothing, try to keep lids closed and still for a few seconds to allow the formula to set.
I like to use it alone, however you can apply other eye makeup on top as long as you have allowed it to completely dry.

The REESON Beauty Lid Elixir is £29 and available to pre-order now
We’re expecting to ship orders from 9th May.

I recently discovered the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation and also my perfect shade, and wanted to share it with you. Here’s everything you need to know.

There are 15 shades in this foundation collection:

I was matched to shade 05 and I think it’s the perfect match. Here it is:




I have been testing out this foundation for a few days and I have to say, I like it a lot.
The packaging is really nice. It’s a minimal and sleek plastic bottle that fits easily into your makeup bag. You simply squeeze out the product and it’s neat and mess-free.
There are 15 shades in the range which I have listed above. They are arranged across undertones which is always helpful and there’s a mix of warm, cool, and neutral. I’m usually a light neutral and I found my perfect match in shade 5, which blended seamlessly into my skin.
I have been using a brush to apply this, as I do with all my foundations, and my favourite brush, my REESON No. 1* is perfect for it. It works especially well for this as it has a small end for concealing, and the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation can also be used like a concealer.
This formula blends effortlessly into the skin and it delivers a dewy but not oily finish. It give a flawless and healthy look to the skin, without the appearance of obvious makeup.
See the first time I applied the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation in the video below:
This is a medium buildable formula and I find that a little goes quite a long way and can very quickly even out the skin, cover redness and blur out imperfections. You can build up coverage really easily by adding a light layer so it actually doubles really nicely as a concealer.
On my combination skin, this wore beautifully throughout the day. I got a good 8 hours of glowy wear, with no clinging or patchiness.
Dry skins will love this, and if you are oily, you might want to set it with a bit of powder.
I’m impressed with the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation and it pretty much gives me everything I want from a dewy base. There’s glow, comfort, hydration, and you just get that that effortless your-skin-but-better look.
If you love radiant, lightweight, skincare-infused foundations, I think you could love this.
If you are looking to try any other Sweed products, I also love their Lash Serum. For more info on that, read Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum Review.
The Sweed Glass Skin Foundation is £38 and available now via the links below:
Sweed Beauty is also available in store at Marks & Spencer.
