Organic Makeup: SARYA Couture Makeup Lip Lacquers & Lip Elixir Oil - Review & Swatches

Having been a fan of SARYA's gorgeous organic couture lipsticks since last year (check out my review here), I was delighted to have the opportunity to try out some of their luxury Organic Lip Lacquers, and these beauties are just perfect for Summer!

If you haven't heard of SARYA before, that might be because they are a relatively young brand who only launched back in 2018. Made in Italy, all of SARYA's cosmetics are proudly certified Organic by Cosmetici Biologici and Cruelty-Free by PETA. Everything is also free from parabens, petrochemicals, preservatives and synthetic fragrances.

This exciting luxury makeup brand boasts some incredible products which have super covetable packaging and fantastic formulas - they really have managed to marry the very best components of a high-end cosmetic company with brilliant green credentials and ethics - well done SARYA!

At the moment, the brand has a small, but beautiful range of Lipsticks, Eyeshadows, Makeup Brushes and Lip Lacquers available and it's the Organic Lip Lacquers that I want to share with you all today.

SARYA's Organic Lip Lacquers* are packaged in stunning frosted tubes with a doe-foot sponge applicator and they have a satisfying weight to them which is always a good hallmark of a luxury brand in my opinion. I was kindly sent a press kit of four different shades to play with, and although at first glance they all looked quite similar, I was presently surprised by the individual differences which quickly become apparent once applied. 

The formulas of these are fantastic and they're made from 100% certified organic ingredients that include moisturising superstars such as Shea Butter, Candelilla Wax, Jojoba Oil and Macadamia Seed Oil. 

These Organic Lip Lacquers are true liquid lipsticks in the respect that they are highly-pigmented and provide an excellent full coverage of colour with just one easy swipe. They do have a slightly plumping effect thanks to some of the vitamins in the formula, and I absolutely love the overall shine! As an extra bonus, I found each one very comfortable to wear with no stickiness. 

A fantastic organic beauty find - the only problem is choosing which one is my favourite!

SARYA Organic Lip Lacquer in Crush

Beginning with the palest out of the four that I was sent, Crush is a creamy pale-pink nude which is always a winner when paired with a smokey eye for a sexy evening party/ date night look.

SARYA Organic Lip Lacquer in Muse

Muse is one of that classic, super easy to wear, everyday pink that is typically flattering on a range of skin tones. I know I'm getting to get a lot of use out of this one!

SARYA Organic Lip Lacquer in Sugar

If you only buy one new lip product this Summer, make it Sugar. It's the perfect balance of peachy pink which makes it irresistible - again, this is another easy and very flattering shade to wear.

SARYA Organic Lip Elixir Oil in Pearl

Finally, we have Pearl which isn't a lacquer, it's a Lip Elixir Oil instead. This luxury lip treatment oil is infused with nourishing natural ingredients such as Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil, to provide a generous swipe of instant hydration. The finish is a fuller, glossier pout with a hint of pearlescent shimmer - it's very pretty! Can be used alone or over your favourite lippie.

SARYA Organic Lip Lacquers* (3ml, £18 each) and Organic Lip Elixir Oil* (3ml, £20) are available from LoveLula.com with free worldwide shipping

Introducing: SARYA Couture Makeup - Review & Swatches

Heads up fellow makeup junkies - Italy's luxury organic makeup brand SARYA is here and they have some gorgeous products to feast your eyes upon!

SARYA is a relatively new brand to the organic cosmetics market, having spent two years in development, they only officially launched in Summer last year. Their ethos is based around developing makeup that uses natural and organic ingredients that don't compromise on performance or results, and with sophisticated, sleek packaging to boot, you can see why there's been some buzz about them online. They are also proud to be certified organic (by Cosmetici Biologici) and cruelty-free (by PETA).

That said, I hadn't heard of SARYA until a package arrived via LoveLula (one of the brand's UK stockists) a couple of weeks ago. At present, their makeup range is fairly limited as they only sell a few lipsticks, eyeshadows and makeup brushes, but I was still excited nonetheless as the packaging is so beautiful. Inside, I discovered a cute faux-leather, branded makeup bag, a single eyeshadow compact, an eyeshadow brush and a lipstick, so it was time to have a play!

 SARYA Couture Makeup Eyeshadow in Mocha* (3.5g, £17.80, link)  and 201 All Over Shader Brush* (£11.60, link)

Single eyeshadow compacts seem to be coming back into vogue these days, as beauty consumers are streamlining and decluttering their makeup collections, and SARYA has four different shades to choose from which will definitely spark some joy in your makeup bag! These eyeshadows are made from an organic formula that features a blend of Apricot Oil, Avocado Oil and Shea Butter, and is free of parabens, mineral oils, fragrance and phthalates, which results in a silky smooth feel and makes them easy to blend.

As I mentioned earlier, the packaging is really sleek and opening it up, I was met with the most beautiful chocolate brown shade called Mocha. This is one of those versatile shades that works well all over the lid and as a crease/transition colour to add depth and smokiness. Richly pigmented, I've been reaching for this shade a lot recently as it's just so easy to wear, especially when applied with the 201 All Over Shader Brush. Featuring silky soft, synthetic Taklon bristles, this vegan-friendly brush is a great addition to your collection and the wider cut of the head lends itself perfectly to sweeping shadow all over the lid for a fuss-free finish.

SARYA Couture Makeup Lipstick in Lovecraft* (4g, £19.50, link) and Makeup Bag* (£13.30, link)

I'm like a magpie when it comes to luxury red lipsticks and SARYA's Lovecraft is an absolute stunner. Created from a 75% natural formula that has ultra-nourishing ingredients such as Coconut Oil, Beet Oil, Castor Oil and Palm Butter, and is free from the likes of petroleum, parabens, artificial colouring and fragrance, this lipstick glides on effortlessly and has some killer pigmentation - the swatch below was just one swipe!

Lovecraft is a warm red that's incredibly flattering to wear for a range of skin tones as it makes your teeth look whiter, and instantly brightens up your whole complexion. It has a semi-matte finish, feels very moisturising and lasted a good few hours before I needed to reapply (that was without eating/drinking though). As it's so pigmented, I'd recommend applying it with a lip brush for a perfect pout, and a lipliner would also come in handy to prevent any feathering later on in the day.

Lastly, I have to mention that awesome branded Makeup Bag! Made from bright red synthetic leather, I've had so many compliments about it and it's currently in my travel bag ready for any impromptu weekends away.
