Cult Beauty - Milk Makeup Matcha Toner

First thing’s first, is Milk Makeup’s Matcha Toner going to turn me into Shrek? Be assured, Cult Beauties, that despite its Hulk-ish hue, it’s not going to leave you looking like a great angry monster – the formula turns clear when applied to skin (phew). What it does do is use a string of natural ingredients to cleanse and purify your complexion. The toner’s namesake, matcha green tea detoxifies, combats inflammation (acne, we’re looking at you) and protects skin from environmental aggressors. Other pore-clearing ingredients include witch hazel and kombucha, which gently remove excess oil and keep blemishes at bay. To balance out all those purifying components, organic cactus elixir provides a burst of hydration that’ll last all day long. Oh, and it’s paraben-free, sulphate-free, cruelty-free and 100% vegan… No, you’re not dreaming. Once you’ve gotten over all of those incredible ingredients, let’s take a moment to appreciate that this toner is solid. Like, actually solid. The first of its kind, its unique stick form makes it a great travel companion – it won’t cause faff through airport security, it won’t leak and it’ll slip easily into your travel bag.
