Here at Cosmo, we are all about the latest and greatest in beauty. That’s why we jumped on the chance to check out the American award-winning, Giella Custom Blend Cosmetics, inside THATConcept Store located at the Mall of the Emirates. What we discovered was nothing short of ahhh-mazing.
We can *finally* create our own high-quality makeup (including choosing the textures and aromatherapy scents) here in Dubai.
Giella offers customised lipsticks, lip glosses, cream foundations, blushes, and eyeshadows. The choice is yours. You pick the exact colour shade, finish, and scent.
Acne-prone? You can even add tea tree oil to your creations. It’s a great place to recreate your fave discontinued lipstick shade. Each customised lip product is Dhs150 including a personalised engraved makeup case. Giella’s makeup products are vegan, cruelty-free, sustainable, and natural.
Now for the fun part. We chose to make a nude pink lipstick and were in awe of the process. Our profesh lipstick chemist (who trained with Chanel beauty) mixed vibrant powder and colourful liquids together along with a wax medium to create the exact shade we *attempted* to describe. The colour mixing was out of this world.
Who thought neon orange would go in a light pink lipstick?
Out of the expansive choices of lipstick finishes including matte, soft matte, cream, and satin, we opted for a glossy-like cream finish. We also chose a vanilla aromatherapy scent to be added to our new freshly made lipstick.
Within 20 minutes, we had a beautiful new addition to our treasure trove of lipsticks and a gorgeous Cosmo-pink pout.
The lipstick making process was just as fun as receiving the final product. We love that we were able to bring our beauty vision to life and to create something we look forward to wearing. Heading back ASAP for more.
