Vivo Cosmetics – Baked Bronze Healthy Glow

Hey gorgeous girlies! A while back I was sent some bits and bobs by Vivo Cosmetics after the TOWIB event and this little gem was in my parcel.


Healthy Glow is marketed as a baked bronze but I don’t think it is a bronzer at all, it’s bronze in colour but I would say it’s more of a highlighter, I certainly can’t do any bronzing with it. It retails for £5 and I have heard there’s a few other colours too. You get a whopping 12g of product for £5 which to me is a massive selling point. They look suspiciously like my MAC Soft and Gentle MSF too, just less pigmented, see swatch below.

Vivo are exclusive to larger Tesco stores, I am yet to check out the entire range because I haven’t found them in a store yet. Do you know of any stores that currently sell this? Please let me know!

Vivo Cosmetics – Natural Night Lashes

Hey girlies, back in October I attended the TOWIB event, you can read all about it HERE. At this event Adam Minto the man behind Vivo and FashionistA said we could email them to get a highlighter sent out to us. They sent me a few bits and these lashes were inside.

Vivo are the newish make up brand launching in bigger Tesco stores all over. They have some really lovely bits and pieces and I was really shocked when I opened the parcel and all this fell out!



Today I will be showing you the lashes. I was sent the Natural Night lashes, when I pulled them off the packet I thought they would be a nightmare to wear because the strip on them was really tough and a bit thick. I usually wear lashes that have an invisible strip or very thin strip. I applied lash glue that came with the lashes and whilst it was getting tacky I bent them about between my fingers to try and loosen them a bit.


These lashes aren’t as long as other lashes I’ve worn but they felt super comfy, I kept them on for a Chinese that night round my in-laws house.

When it came to taking them off I found they did pull on my own lashes ever so slightly and were a bit of a pain to get off. I think I possibly could have pulled a few of my own out too, but that wouldn’t stop me wearing them again.

For the rest of the make up have have a look at THIS FOTN Cranberry and Amberlights by MAC. I applied these lashes just after taking all my pics for that post.

Hands up who’s tried any products by Vivo Cosmetics?
