This week the lovely postman brought me a small package of delights from those beautiful people at Vivo. This was the 1st time I've ordered from the web site as they have usually been a pick up when in Tesco but I was after the Enchanted and Unprotected colour blocks an my local did have any in.
I placed my order on Monday (bank holiday) with standard shipping an it arrived on Thursday morning which I think is super quick as most companies get a bit gummed over a bank holiday week end.
I got the two colour blocks and a bronzer.
Baked Bronzer in Healthy Glow - shade 3. 12g for £5
Its in the same packaging as the baked blushes (but larger) clear hinged lid, closes securely which I love, as mentioned my lid losing habit in a previous post.

I've also mentioned my problem with bronzers so I got the palest shade. It looks exactly the same as it does on the web site. A beautiful soft golden peach colour. Probably a little pale even for me but it have a lovely sheen ad does indeed give an beautiful glow. Perfect for a dusting across the nose, forehead cheeks and chin. Gave a really nice lift to my face. It looks almost the same as the highlight shade in my Sleek contour kit and I can see this working perfectly as a highlighter for ladies with darker skin tones.
Colour Block in Enchanted 8.4g for £3.99
Colour Block in Enchanted 8.4g for £3.99
The packaging is a square plastic block with a clear lid so you can see all the colours. I have to be honest an I'm not keen on the packaging and it feels a little cheap compared to the other products. But that is my only complaint! There are 5 matte shades and the 7 shimmery shades. The are lovely and soft with a small amount of fall out from the deep shimmer brown (Me Too) but not enough to put me off the deep chocolate and golden flecks of this shade. The brights are so vibrant but blend out beautifully, everything I've come to expect from Vivo.
Colour Block in Unprotected 8.4g for £3.99
Same packaging as Enchanted (obviously). This colour block has 3 matte shades and 9 shimmers. The beautiful soft naturally toned shades with the deeper darker gray blue ones off set them. The texture of the shadows are soft like velvet butter and highly pigmented.
Its probably very obvious what caparison is going to be drawn. So I
have included swatches of Naked and Undressed.
These swatches where taken under different lighting but "in person" there is nothing between them, well except the price ;oP
Thank you for taking the time to read.
