Full disclaimer here – I’ve worked with Thom, friend and creator of Phatstix, on this one – a low beam gleam multi-stick that can be used on cheeks, lips and eyes in a subtle bronze-red to freshen up a natural look. Imagine heading out and only having to take one beauty item with you – that’s exactly what the One & Done stick is for. It’s a refresh, a me-but-better, a nuance of bonne mine all in one soft balm.
Instead of waiting for my perfectly packaged, pristine sample to arrive, I wanted to show you the battered one that has been a working sample and I’ve had it for months! It looks nibbled because I’ve carved bits off and out of it to check for colour consistency (perfect, by the way) and texture consistency (perfect also!) so it’s been sitting by my make up mirror being variously assaulted before going to into production. Yours won’t look like this! It’s even got Thom’s writing on it somewhere. I just thought you’d rather see the process than the perfection.

Right, so this is me wearing just a dot of Chanel Water Fresh Tint, some liner and mascara.
And this is me with Phatstix One & Done over the top. I hope you can see the freshen up that it’s provided. The texture isn’t heavy – although bear in mind it is a balm so it’s not traceless – and you won’t get sparkle for miles and the formula is delicious with beeswax, shea butter, raspberry seed oil, mango butter, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and grapeseed oil and a natural mica. It’s very much Thom’s product – I’ve got no investment in it other than pride and advice – but Phatstix One & Done has turned out beyond expectations and it’s just a brilliant face refresher that deserves its place in the beauty market because there is nothing else exactly like it. To bring a product to fruition is truly a labour in all aspects when you’re a small, independent brand – the Yorkshire to London hotline has been ringing red for months and months but here we are! Phatstix One & Done is £26 but you can use BBB20 for 20% off HERE.
