3ina - The Makeup Brand You Need On Your Radar

3ina bestselling makeup products

You might remember a little while back I wrote a post about 3ina's super fun UV Makeup Range. Since then, they've been kind enough to send me a few more products, this time from their regular line. All three items I've received are among the brand's bestsellers, and now I've had a chance to play with them, I can see exactly why! So I thought I would put together a little post to show you what the products look like, both on and off my face.


3ina bestselling makeup products - The highlighter 201

(I don't know what I'm doing with my hand either.)

This is a beautiful, warm toned golden sand colour with a silky feel and sheeny finish - no sparkly glitter particles here. It's subtle with one swipe, but you can build it up if you want more of a glow. It's similar to Mac Soft and Gentle (one of my all time favourite highlights) but is more of a true gold when directly compared to it - Soft and Gentle has more pink tones.


3ina bestselling makeup products - The Cream Eyeshadow 313

3ina bestselling makeup products

Probably my favourite of the three, this is an absolutely stunning bronze shade that looks positively jewel like on the eyes - really beautiful for nights out. The formula is very soft and it applies like a dream. It does make your eyelids start to feel slightly dry after a few hours of wear, but on the plus side, it doesn't budge - yes, you need to be persistent when removing this at the end of the night, but on the other hand, at least you know it will stay on for as long as you want it to! The slight drying effect doesn't really bother me because I would only usually wear something this sparkly in the evenings anyway, and it really is very beautiful.


3ina bestselling makeup products - The Longwear Lipstick 503

This is a very wearable pink/brown neutral shade. The formula is creamy, easy to apply and dries to a very smooth, matte finish. Wear is impressive, but not infallible - it lasts well for a good few hours but I do need to reapply after eating a meal. That said, when it does wear off, it does so pretty evenly. It's a really nice everyday lipstick and one I'm sure I'll get plenty of use out of.

The more I see of this brand, the more I like it. All the bestselling products are paraben free and cruelty free, and a lot of them are vegan too. The price point is very reasonable, the quality is excellent and I like the neat, modern packaging. I really only have one gripe, and that is that 3ina's products don't have names, just numbers. I personally prefer it when products have names, partly because I find them easier to remember and partly because applying a lipstick called "silk rose" makes me feel more like a princess than applying a lipstick called "503", and I am all about feeling more like a princess at every possible opportunity. But, as gripes go, this is quite a small one. 

As much as I love the UV makeup, it's not exactly something I'll be able to wear too often, whereas these bestselling products are sure to become staples in my makeup collection, so I'm really grateful to 3ina for allowing me to sample a little more from the brand. It wasn't one I'd heard of before, but they are well and truly on my radar now!

Have you tried anything from 3ina?

  2. Before I read about it on your blog I hadn't heard of them before, and I dismissed them as UV makeup doesn't really suit my current lifestyle. But these pieces do! Lovely packaging, lovely colors, a brand to remember.

  26. These products all look so pretty and the shades are the type of shades that I would be drawn to at the moment. I know what you mean about the names though as I prefer names to numbers as well but like you say, it is only a small issue and not one that would put me off buying anything. x

  30. I am absolutely obsessed with this brand and have been for a short while now : I started by getting all 18 of their cream eyeshadows and boy, do I love them ! :D They're really waterproof, smudge-proof, everything-proof, like !
    I also own a fair few of their liquid matte lipsticks and I love how comfy and pigmented they are. I have placed a few orders on their website yesterday morning and I'm waiting for so many of their products ! :D I was actually in London for my vacation until yesterday so I had the time to go to the Covent Garden store a few times to choose what to get because there's no store over here in France but I wanted to get everything from the store x)
    Only the highlighter I'm waiting to receive - I really hope it's as good as the other products I've tried so far ! :D

    Thanks for sharing your opinion girl !
