Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Last week I wrote an introductory post on PHB Ethical Beauty products that are exclusively available in Pakistan at Halal-Certified Cosmetics Pakistan. You can read the post here for a brief introduction on the brand and its products. Today, I will be sharing my reviews and swatches of those products that I shared with you in my first post. So no more talking and let's get to the review and see what I have to say about these PHB Ethical Beauty products.

PHB Ethical Beauty Products

PHB Ethical Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow "Moroccan Earth"

PHB Ethical Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow with lockable sifter (half opened)

PHB Mineral Eyeshadow:
The mineral eye shadow is available in 14 gorgeous shades. The shade that I got is "Moroccan Earth" which is a beautiful satin bronze shade with some very fine gold shimmer in it. This eye shadow feels so so soooo silky smooth. I haven't seen any eye shadow with such silk like touch before. This eye shadow is very pigmented. It applies and blends so easily. The mineral loose eye shadow comes in a sturdy and sleek packaging with lockable sifter. The sifter twists and locks the lid and prevents the product from falling. Since its a loose mineral eye shadow, I experienced minor fall out while applying it but nothing too bothersome. The staying power of this eye shadow is pretty impressive too and it stays on my eyes easily (without any primer) till evening without creasing.

PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Lipstick and Lip Gloss

PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Lipstick "Petal"

PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Lip Gloss "Sugar Plum"

PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Lipstick and Lip Gloss:
PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Lipstick and Lip Gloss looks very natural and subtle. The natural lipstick in shade "Petal" is a brownish pink shade with slightly metallic finish. Am not really a fan of metallic finish but the finish of this lipstick looks really subtle and the shade is very wearable. It looks more like a MLBB (my lips but better) shade on me. The lipstick is not very creamy but it isn't drying either. It feels comfortable to wear and feels a bit moisturizing. It just sticks to my lips and stays there for about 3-4 hours (with minimal eating or drinking). Even after the color fades away, my lips feel moisturized. The "Sugar Plum" natural lip gloss is a milky pink shade. It looks quite sheer when applied on the lips. It has a strange annoying smell but am glad it doesn't feel tacky or sticky. It feels really hydrating and actually nourishes the lips.

PHB Ethical Beauty Mineral Foundation

PHB Ethical Beauty Mineral Foundation:
PHB Ethical beauty mineral foundation is made with all natural ingredients. It is great for those with sensitive skin. This foundation comes in a nice sturdy jar with a lockable sifter just like the mineral eyeshadow. This is the first ever mineral foundation that I have tried and I must say that I LOVE it. It has very soft texture that blends so easily. It feels so lightweight and provides that perfect natural looking finish. The shade that I got is Medium Rose. When I first swatched it on arm it seemed a bit darker for my skin tone and I thought oh no... I have got the wrong shade again but once I applied it on my face, it looked so natural and perfectly matched my skin tone.

PHB Ethical Beauty Mineral Foundation in Med Rose

PHB Ethical mineral foundation feels so natural and adopts to match my skin tone. It blends so easily and provides almost full coverage. Luckily, it doesn't oxidize which is great. This foundation is very easy to use. You just need to take a little amount of powder on your brush and lightly dust it all over your face. You can always apply more to get even better coverage. This foundation is great for all skin types but perhaps those with extremely oily skin might not like this in summers as it tends to melt and makes the t-zone look oily. I have dry/combination skin which gets slightly oily in summers. This foundation doesn't accentuate any dryness on my skin. The finish it provides is kinda matte which turns semi-matte after a while. After few hours of wear, my t-zones starts to look a little bit shiny but the rest of my face still looks matte and perfect. It stays on my face almost till the end of the day. I love how this foundation feels on my skin, lets my skin breath and provides that perfect finish and coverage so easily. I never thought I would love a powder foundation so much but this one is totally amazing.

In the picture below, I have applied a fine layer of PHB Ethical Beauty Mineral Foundation in Med Rose using my RT Buffing Brush. You can apply it using any powder brush or kabuki brush. I haven't applied any concealer, blusher or anything else on my face (other than brow powder) and look how amazing the coverage is.

PHB Ethical Beauty Moisturizers

PHB Ethical Beauty Moisturizers:
I got three PHB Ethical Beauty Moisturizers samples along with the makeup products. Like all other products, these moisturizers are also made from naturally derived ingredients. One is Gentle Moisturizer that has Shea Butter and apricot in it. Its great for those with sensitive skin. The second one is brightening moisturizer that has Immortelle, Argan & Licorice in it. It rejuvenates and brightens the skin and is pretty great for almost all skin types. I used the anti aging one with Monoi Oils and Gardenia flowers on my Mom and her skin felt quite softer and well moisturized afterwards. Since I have tried just once sachet of these moisturizers so I can't actually tell much about these but yes these do feel nice on the skin and moisturize the skin really well.


Overall, am quite pleased with the performance of PHB Ethical Beauty products. The only product that didn't really impress me was the natural lip gloss as it was too sheer and had a weird smell. Other than that, I love all the products that I have tried so far. I am so loving the mineral foundation and the mineral eyeshadow is really lovely too. The PHB natural lipstick is pretty nice for everyday use and this shade petal is such a lovely MLBB shade. The price of these products is a little steep but considering the fact that it is an international Halal-certified brand that uses all natural ingredients in its products, I think these are worth the money. I always encourage using organic and halal-certified makeup brands and I recommend you to try PHB Ethical Beauty products too.
