5 steps to correctly apply lipstick to last as long as possible:

1. Preparation always comes first

It is said that if the lips are not prepared in advance, you are preparing for the failure of any lipstick, so always start preparing the lips. Remove any dry and scaly skin that may be present on the lips using peeling and lip balm; this will ensure that the lipstick does not 'stick' to any dry places.

2. Use a concealer or powder as the base

If you want the color of the lipstick to be real, use a concealer or transparent powder as a base. Concealer or powder improves lipstick adhesion, which in turn makes it last longer. Another advantage of the concealer is that it removes the natural shade of the lips, which changes the true shade of the lipstick. Apply the concealer using either your fingers or sponge. Use the brush for the powder.

3. Use a lip pencil

If you are not using a lip pencil, it is time to get to know it, because it is the whole secret of a perfectly 'pouted lips'. Gently trace the outline of your lips with a pencil and fill most of the lip area with it. Lip Pencils provide a great foundation for lipstick and prevent it from 'bleeding' out of the lip contour. If you do not like color lip pencils, there are also transparent ones. In any case, without a pencil you will certainly not achieve the same result as with it.

4. Use a lip brush for accurate application

Applying your lipstick quickly early in the morning when you're in a hurry is definitely tempting, but it's more than advisable to take those extra few seconds and use a brush. This ensures that the lipstick is nicely and evenly layered, which extends its lasting effect. The use of the brush also provides much greater control over the entire application, which is particularly important for those daredevils amongst you that choose bright, pop color shades.

5. The power of transparent powder

Transparent powder is the key to creating a perfect lipstick look that doesn't smudge. As soon as you apply the lipstick (using a brush, remember), gently press on your lips a thin paper tissue. Carefully run the brush with some transparent powder on it over the napkin . This will ensure that any excess lipstick is removed and it will last longer. It is the final step in the correct application of any lipstick and is often used to create a 'matte' effect.

We are sorry we cannot currently offer cheaper delivery prices. We explain why below.

DELIVERY OF GLASS AND LIQUID PRODUCTS

Luxurious brands such as Lovinah and Terre Verdi are packaged in glass, and contain liquid contents. If anything happens to them, most couriers will not pay insurance because of this. We cannot take that risk as the products are expensive, which is why we must choose the courier that promises to reimburse us in case of accident, loss or theft. Having said, the courier is still cheaper than using the Czech Post Office service without tracking.

We cooperate with a private courier company in Czechia, www.zaslat.cz, that uses GLS, DPD, UPS and Toptrans companies to safely and quickly deliver your precious packages. By clicking the link to their website above, you will be taken the tracking page in English, where you can see the parcel movement. The delivery to most countries takes between 3-5 working days.

ECOLOGICAL AND ZERO WASTE PACKAGING

Within Czechia and Slovakia we pack in ecological boxes filled with wooden wool. This packaging is both aesthetically pleasing and zero waste, but also more expensive than recycled/ reused boxes and traditional filling materials. However, when sending to other foreign countires we must add additional security and we were told the wooden wool may not be sufficient protection. We may need to individually wrap glass products or liquid products in bubblewrap or use plastic 'pillows' filled with air to avoid potential breakage during handling and transit. Once the courier has the package, what happens with it is out of our hands, which is why the complete zero waste packaging is not always possible. We apologise for this inconvenience.

FREE DELIVERY

Our online store is not a massive online ecommerce store, it is more of an online boutique with a select brands and products we believe in, and which may not be available everywhere. Producers usually make the products for us, fresh to order, and we focus on less known, but certified organic or 100% natural and very unique, brands with distinguished formulations. Hence, we cannot offer FREE shipping on orders of 50 or 100EUR.

Still, we think the courier's delivery prices are very reasonable for the packages up to 5kg, and we hope you will enjoy shopping with us.

Odylique brand - the name derived from the meaning of "power of nature" - was born in 2003 and was originally called Essential Care. The whole story began in the 1980s, when the founder Margaret began to produce natural skin care products. Conventional products disagreed with her allergic and sensitive skin. She felt there had to be a healthier and more effective way to make skincare than using petroleum and artificial additives. So, armed with qualifications in herbal medicine and aromatherapy, and a passion for the genius of nature, she set about creating truly effective formulations, based only on organic herbs, plant oils and natural active ingredients that were compatible with the most sensitive skin. In the 1980s she was one of the few first ones, if not the first, pioneers of organic and natural skincare makers in the UK. In 2003, she officially founded the Essential Care company with her husband and daughter, which was later renamed Odylique. From the outset, its products have won awards in prestigious UK natural beauty competitions, and the product portfolio has grown to include decorative cosmetics for the most sensitive users.

Odylique wants all their ingredients to have therapeutic effect, while at the same time providing you with amazing skincare ritual you enjoy evey day. 

Odylique is an expert on sensitive and allergic-prone skin and we are honoured to offer it to you as the products are the best certified organic quality at absolutely unbeatable prices to get. A nice bonus is that all of their plastic packaging is made from recycled plastic milk bottles - made in Britain, and 98% of the packaging material comes from Europe to minimize the carbon footprint. Almost half of the product containers and all boxes are manufactured in the UK.
