Une Rouge Lipsticks

Une Rouge Lipstick

Price: 59.25AED Sale Price @ Centrepoint MCC

Made in France

January 2015 ~ when I came to know the brand Une. Une is a French brand of make up. Created by Bourjois. Une is a drugstore make up brand but the price range is a little higher compared to other drugstore brands available in UAE market. Probably because they claim to use natural/organic ingredients. And that is their selling point. It doesn't come with a box like MAC. And it is not in the usual round tube. It comes in a square tube. White square tube. With the name UNE engraved at the side. Very minimalist indeed. It is not surprising that the first thing I purchased was a lipstick as I am into lip products. At this point I can say that Une Rouge Lipsticks are the best I own.

The back side of the tube for Une Rouge Lipsticks where it is stated that it is 98.1% made of natural ingredients. As can also be seen the lipsticks name is very simple too. Just a letter and a number. All the other details are written as well. Very simple and basic. By the way, Une is not available at all branches of Centrepoint in UAE. Not also included in their online shopping. The Centrepoint branches I know that carries Une are Al Ghurair Mall, Mirdif City Centre, Oasis Mall and Mall Of Emirates.

I now have 3 Une Rouge Lipsticks but I did not buy them all at once. One lipstick at a time. As even if they are on sale it is still expensive for a drugstore brand. But I so love them anyway so in spite of the price I can still see myself picking up another shade as soon as my budget would allow me to do so. Une Rouge Lipstick doesn't have a long staying power but I am completely fine with that as most of the lip products are like that anyway. This brand is creamy and non drying to lips so my lips will be just fine even if I forget to use a lip balm first.

As you will notice Une make up does not really have loud colors. Their motto is to enhance the natural beauty instead of concealing it. Well I am not against into bright colors but I don't think I can just pop up at the office wearing a bright make up. R10 was my first Une Rouge Lipstick, this shade is nude/neutral. Out of all the nude lipsticks I own this is my favorite as it doesn't make me look as if I am ill. I highly recommend this to all 'morena' out there like me. R04 and R06 are not exactly nude but a little upgrade from the natural color of our lips. Overall the three of them are perfect for everyday use at the office. Une Rouge Lipstick do have 8 shades only and yes I wish to have them all. Here are some more photos and swatches:

And that's all for now. Thanks for dropping by to my page. Comments are welcome just please don't be rude. As of my wish list from Une here it is the new Une Radiant Balm:

I was able to get another lipstick from Une because of the sale last March. Une Rouge Lipstick has only 8 shades. This time I got the R04 Shade. This is already my 3rd lipstick from this line. That's how in love I am with this brand. This lip color is one shade darker the natural shade of our lips.

Une Beauty Foundation

Une Skin-Matt Foundation

Around 100.00AED @ Centrepoint MCC

I got it for free during DSS 2015

I got this for free from the lady at UNE (unfortunately when I came back she's not there anymore not sure if the new lady will give any freebies). I got the right shade. It blends well. Not too heavy on the face. The kind that I can wear on daily basis. 

I wish I have words to explain further but my mind is not fully working right now. So I will just let the above photos speak for the product. Lastly I think all the products from Bourjois and Une are Oil Free. And a little info: Bourjois aside from Une owns Chanel too.

Une Glimmer Eyeshadow G03

Une Beauty Glimmer Eyeshadow
79.00AED @ Centrepoint Mirdif City Centre
59.25AED @ Sale Price during DSS
French Drugstore Brand

I am not an eye shadow girl. Meaning I don't use eye shadows on daily basis. And when I do I only uses one or two colors. I am using it on my lower lid but not the whole lid or crease. I don't even know how to create that so popular smoky eyes. But since I am so in love with Une Rouge Lipsticks I can't help myself from buying at least one eye shadow to see if this is finally the eye shadow for me. The one that will make me use it everyday. I got myself this Glimmer Eyeshadow in G03 as can be seen in the photo below:

The back of the eye shadow that says the ingredients but the photo is not clear. But anyway their selling point is the products are made from all natural ingredients.

This is a pale shade of pink with gold glitters. The top is quite hard that I thought I purchase an expired/old item. But then beneath the top layer is a creamy product. I did not bother anymore to use the brush that comes along with it as it can't even get the shadow. I ends up using my fingers in getting the product and applying it to my eyes.

Is this the eye shadow that will make me want to use everyday? Unfortunately, NO. I am still using it because I have to just to not waste the money I spent on it. I did not take a swatch anymore as no matter how many layers I use the nice pale pink color wont peek through with my skin tone. All there ever is are the glitters. On my skin it becomes the palest brown with too many glitters. Maybe it will look good on fairer skin. Maybe it will look good on me at night. But at the office in the morning? Not possible. Because of this I'm totally steering away from glimmer eye shadows of Une. Thanks for dropping by ladies! Till next time.. 

Une Breezy Cheeks Blush

I'm trying out the Blogger for the iPhone for the first time. And I can't think of anything to write so my quick post will be about Une Beauty again! I got this photo from their Instagram account. These are the available colors of their lovely blushes. And yes if possible I want them all. I'm just so in love 😍😘 How can I not be when it is so easy to use? Use your fingers only and you are good to go. It will fit perfectly even in small purses so you can take it with you anywhere. Blendable. Suites the natural colors of your cheeks. I'm just waiting for them to go on sale again..

Une Sfumato Eyeshadow S17

The photo may not be clear but as of the color it is close to the real thing. Une is a make up brand from France. Created by the company Bourjois. This line of make up claims to be made from All Natural hence the price that is quite higher than the regular drugstore brand. But then less than those high end brands. This is available at selected Centrepoint across the UAE. I got this Sfumato Eyeshadow in S17 for free. Lady luck was just on my side at that time as I don't usually get freebies. 

Other brands comes with a box. But Une doesn't and I don't mind. For me boxes are just waste. And this eyeshadow just like Une's other products do have a front mirror once you remove the sticker. You need to slide it to open. The color is a very nice shade of gray. If you will look at the photo below (swatch) the first one on the right is at least 2 layers. The swatch in the middle I can't remember how many layers it was just to get that color. But it is without a primer. Finally on the left is with primer and at least 3 layers.

Now I am ready to give up whatever eyeshadow palette I have. I like Une better. The first thing that I noticed it doesn't have fall outs. Which is something I hated that's why I don't use eye shadow on daily basis. But you may not like the fact that you need countless swipes just to get the intensity of the color. And lastly, this product comes with a very tiny brush which is no use for me. 

Thanks for dropping by, till next time again.. Ciao!!

UPDATE: 05th February 2015
I was wrong when I said that there was no fall out when using the Sfumato eyeshadow. There was none when I first try it out as I used my fingers. When I had to use it at work I used an eyeshadow brush and just like the other eyeshadows I am using unfortunately there was fall out too. But the good thing is this eyeshadow with or without a primer lasts the whole day. I am shamelessly sharing my photo using Une Breezy Cheeks B06 on my cheeks. Une Rouge Lipstick R10 on my lips. And of course, the Sfumato eyeshadow on my eyes. Without a primer. This is how I wear make up. Very minimal. Just don't mind the sun spots and some red spots left by pimples :(

As I write this post I am still thinking if I will go ahead and buy more Une Beauty Products as I don't need them yet but they are still on sale! And February 02, 2015 is the last day of Dubai Shopping Festival. I don't consider myself a make up junkie or collector but I am in the phase now to try it all if I can and  it is not so hard to please me when it comes to make up. But then usually when I find a good product that I like, something better will come along and I haven't even started using the Korean Products I recently ordered. And today I kind of get the setting of my camera 'slightly' right so the photos I will be posting is not very far from the real thing. This is how the Une Breezy Cheeks Blush looks like:

Once you remove the front sticker, you'll see a mirror that you can use. I let the lady at Une choose this color for me. I am 'morena' or what we call brown skin. And she said this color will suite me and I do believe her. Sometimes that is the advantage of good looking people, we easily believe what they say :) But then yes, this color suites me well. Not too dark nor too bright. Comparing this to other cream blushes I own, this one doesn't have a sticky feeling that will give a problem on summer or humid days. Cream blushes usually doesn't last the whole day and that is something I don't really mind. I love cream blushes as I don't need a blush brush and I don't know how to use one. And it annoys me especially when I am on a hurry. I prefer creams as I can use my fingers and my cheeks are dry so I think cream is perfect for my skin type.

Slide it to open which reminds me of the earlier phone models of Nokia, Sony and Samsung. I think this is cool!

You can buy this brand at selected Centrepoint across the UAE. I got mine from Mirdif City Centre Branch. Will try to look at other branches some other time. I got it during sale so it cost me for only 71.25AED. And I think that is already the maximum discount Centrepoint can offer when it comes to make up. If ever that I will see them give  higher discount in the future, I'll definitely write a post about it. 

As much as I would like to share the list of ingredients, I am still working out my way to my camera on how to take close up or macro photos so please bear with this photo:

This really gives a gorgeous color. As the company motto says 'to enhance and not to conceal the natural beauty' so this shade just like the others will give you a natural looking glow on your cheeks. 

Thanks for dropping by, ciao!

I am not yet done trying my other Gosh lipsticks but then I can't help myself to try  first this  Une Rouge Lipstick which I bought last weekend. I am kinda excited because of all the reviews I read about it. And I don't know why I have become this lipstick/lip gloss addict. The lipstick doesn't come with a box. And the tube is color white with the name engraved on the side as can be seen in this photo:

I know in this photo is looks orange-ish but in person it looks like a light brown in color. All Une products I have seen are in neutral/nude colors. Haven't seen bright red/pink so far in their collection. Or any other bright colors. 



As you can see they claim that this product is 98.1% natural. You'll the see Manufactured for Bourjois because Bourjois is the mother company of Une. It is a French brand of Make Up.

In case you are interested to know the price is 79.00AED but then I got it for 59.25AED on sale. Available at Centrepoint in Mirdif City Centre. And not all Centrepoint in UAE carries this brand. 

Too bad none of my photos was able to show it's true colors. But anyway, I can say that aside from Gosh this is now my new favorite. It doesn't have any scent which I don't mind. I can still remember those products I bought in the past the smells like medicine and chemical, argh! Not a nice memory to remember. So I'd rather have this product without a scent. Than one with a not so good smell!

I have seen this phrase a numerous times in the internet so let me also use this here. Using Une Lipstick make me say 'my lips but better'. It is neutral shade of brown. I'll just try again some other time to take a few photos to get the color in the photo right. But here's a swatch in the dim lighted room:

If  I go out this weekend and they are still on sale I might get myself another shade. Even on discounted price it is still a little higher compared to others. But then what's not to love with this brand? Aside from they are using all natural ingredients; the shades suit my taste well. On weekends I would dare to wear bright colors on my face but for everyday at work? No way. And I have my eyes on their eye shadows but I am just restraining myself from buying as much I like to try them I don't need them yet as I still have a few palettes at home. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by, ciao!!

Une Natural Beauty Products

Une Natural Beauty Make Up
French Product 
Made in Italy
Purchased from: Centrepoint at Mirdif City Centre
Price Range: Below 100.00AED
Selling Point: Organic Make up 

I know I am not a make up junkie but then I found myself buying make up since the last quarter of 2014. Maybe I want to experience it before I grow old as I don't wear make up when I was younger and even when I started working. Or maybe finally I found make up that even though I still find them 'pricey' but if you will compare them with others in the market they are actually 'affordable'. I just happen to be a frugal person that anything above 10.00AED I will start to whine.

For the longest time I stayed away from French brands thinking they are all expensive and way beyond my budget. But things changed when I have taken time last year to check them out and compare with the other brands I am familiar with. Silly me for thinking that the whole French population are all rich that 'affordable' products are never heard of in the country :) The first French brand that I tried was Bourjois. I know Loreal is also French but I am not a fan. I don't know why. I just don't buy from them. Bourjois is affordable and good so when I heard that they created a new line called Une and this is organic make up I was like 'I have to find and try it'. 


Unfortunately Centrepoint in Ajman doesn't carry this brand. And I didn't notice if it is available in Al Ghurair Centrepoint. I am not surprised upon seeing it at Centrepoint in Mirdif City Centre as that branch is so far the biggest I have seen in UAE. And there's no way I'll be able to browse the whole store to check out what brands do they carry. I am sort of lazy to do that not unless I am really looking for something very important! And just because they are still on sale that I went ahead and purchased some items. 


The foundation was free - I am thankful to the lady. She gave it to me for free for the reason that so I can try it out. I don't hoard foundation, concealer and eyeshadow. I make sure that I finish whatever I have before buying a new one. I am also not into make up brushes as I put make up as minimal as possible and mostly uses my fingers.


Une Blush On B06- for the price of 71.25AED I already consider it expensive to think that it was discounted. So not so sure if I'll repurchase next time. This is a cream blush on so no blush brush needed which is something I like. I let the lady at Une to choose a color that will suite me. I know she knows better than me.

Une Rouge Lipstick R10 - I guess I am into buying different brands of lipstick just to forget how I love MAC. I still do but only if they will go on sale or lessen the price which is something will happen only in my dream. But then no regrets with the other brands I have tried so far. In fact I find them better. I have chosen this color as this was the one the lady at Une was having and it looks good on her. I am expecting it will look good on me too without even trying it first! Again for a drugstore brand I find the price 59.25AED after discount a little expensive.


Une is definitely cheaper than high end brands but a little expensive compare to other drugstore brands. But then it is justifiable when they claim being 'organic'. Those ingredients they used aren't cheap. One more thing that I noticed with their line is those colors are mostly neutrals/nudes and I am a sucker for that. If price is not an issue I will definitely buy again some blush on and lipsticks as well as eyeshadow. That's it for now. One of these days I will use it and will again write a post about it.
