Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation Review

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Foundation in Golden Glow
I was really getting into Mineral makeup (and still am!) and I've tried a few different brands so I thought I'd review them as I go along. I was looking around for mineral foundations that would suit my asian skintone, and I came across Jane Iredale on the internet, and realised there was a salon just next to my workplace that had their products. I bought the Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder in the shade 'GOLDEN GLOW'. It comes in quite a heavy sturdy gold coloured metal case, which is really good and this can be refilled with just the pressed powders, so love that idea, great investment.
I have eastern asian nc35-40 skintone and anything that has the word 'golden' in it gets me interested! Hence, this shade was right up my street. I tried using this product in different methods. One way is that I tried using it just as a mineral foundation on it's own. I used it with a lot of layers and really buffing it into my skin. This made my skin look dull and it didn't sit well on my skin, I felt I looked abit off. I did then realise the best way was to use the brush lightly in circular motions until I got the desired look, so not really buffing it into the skin like other mineral products. (I brought the Jane Iredale Mineral Brush with this, which is a really good brush by the way.)  This was the better option.
How it looks:
This product gave me a beautiful radiant soft focus glow, skin looked reflective and refreshed like I've had a really good facial or come back from a holiday. It definitely NOT matte, or satin- matte. It has light reflecting properties in it, so even in the begininng of the day you start of with a glow.

Staying Power
I have to say as lovely as this looks in the first few hours of applying it, this product just literally melted within few hours…it starts to shine and as it started off glowy to begin with, by midday I was very shiny and turned into a greaseball. I get oilier around my T- zone and get shinier by midday but this made it appear a lot worse and I had to pat my skin with tissue a few times during the day. The colour also oxidizes, so I started to look a lot more tanned. I think if you have dry/normal/mature skin this could work specially if your skin's really matte this would give a nice sheen to your skin as you will get that perfect glowy healthy skin look. However, if you have tendency to get oily/shiny then this will not help it. This wasn't appropriate for me, as I wanted something that would at least last 5 hours of wear during my 8 hour working day. Maybe out and about for a few hours its okay but its not long wearing, specially for those that get oily. 
I use this time to time occasionally, but I think it works better on me when I lightly dust it over my normal liquid foundations just to set it, I couldn't rely on this just on its own.
My Final Thought ❤:
Lovely packaging, lovely shade for eastern, Mediterranean or olive skin tones, however it's a no-no if you have oily skin. I think it will look amazing if you have dry skin, so its worth a try if your into more moisturising products as it will probably suit your skin type better. The price is slightly more on the high end of mineral makeup. I won't be buying it again as it does literally just melt off my skin. :(

It's Pure Organics Herbal Hair Colour Dark Brown | Review

Natural Hair Dye by It's Pure Organics in Dark Brown Review All I can say is wish I knew about this dye sooner!    My hair history this past year...I've gone through pregnancy hair loss and dryness, not to mention having a no dye period when I was pregnant. This is why I went crazy with the dyes once my LO was born! I ombre'd my hair which meant my ends were bleached twice, coloured and used toners many times to keep ends dark blonde and ashy. Then semi colours on the roots/mid length to keep my hair and a few greys dark and glossy. So all this basically meant my hairs been in a really dry, brittle and frizzy state. It's ruined my natural waves all because of wanted an ombre. Something I'll never do again as its hard maintain when you naturally have dark hair that has a tendency to go orange tinged. I've had regular trims which have helped but after a while hair starts too look rough, lacking lustre and no shine. I think this is partially due to a bad...

Naturtint Permanent Hair Dye in 6N Dark Blonde and 7N Hazelnut Blonde| Review

Image
So over the past year I have tried a few different hair dyes, toners mainly from drugstores like Boots or Superdrugs and I always seem to come back to the Naturtint range. I find the coverage and the shade very much close to whats on the box, my hair NEVER ends up going jet black which it has done from other dye brands. I especially like the 'Natural/Neutral' range in Naturtint, its not too warm or too cool, just a very natural mid brown toned shade and I love it. I usually swap between 5N and 6N depending if i wanted to go abit darker or lighter. Over the summer I decided to mix 6N and 7N to see if I could go abit more lighter so I mixed both shades together. I have asian dark brown practically looking black hair and when I use the shade 5N I get a nice medium to dark brown shade to my hair.  When I want to get a more light medium brown shade thats more prominant and noticable then I usually go for 6N which I'd say is the perfect...

EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation & EX1 Delete Concealer Review and Swatches

EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation This brand is fairly new and was founded by Farah Naz. Like many asians its hard to find foundations that match your skin tone perfectly. Some are too pink toned, high street brand only go upto a certain shade which doesn't cater for asian complexions or you find a shade but the brand is too expensive! Farah Naz has brought out a range specifically for olive skin tones. When she says olive, it means its suitable for Middle Eastern, Asian, South American or Mediterranean skintones. Shade: I came across EX1 Costmetics on twitter, Faryal Makhdoom posted a picture of some of the products and it intrigued me to visit their website. I read somewhere that they now have the brand in Topshop in Oxford Street so I went and purchased the shade F300. I did swatch the F200 in store but I think thats more of an NC 25-30 shade. F300 is perfect for NC35-40 skintone which is me. NC40 or NC42 onwards is probably the F400. F400 is a medium-tan colour.  ...
