Akamuti Authentic African Black Soap Review

Akamuti Authentic African Black Soap

This bar of soap is totally natural, organic and leaves my skin amazingly smooth.  On the packaging it says you can use it for the body, but I also like to use it for the face as its very gentle. Even though most natural products don't tend to lather well, this soap foams really well making it easy to wash makeup and oily skin too.

As the bar is quite chunky, I cut off a small block and use that until it finishes, this way the soap lasts longer. The only thing  is it softens quickly under water so it's best to lather it in the hand before you use it, and put the block somewhere to dry. 

This bar is really gentle and cleans my skin leaving it smooth and fresh, if you have sensitive skin, this would be perfect for you. As it has Shea Butter in it, it doesn't strip my skin, or make it feel tight, only a few times I have found it abit drying, however I usually spritz a toner or moisturiser after cleansing.


I think if you keep using this long term you will really see the benefits, I have been using this for a few months and my skin appears brighter, clearer and in better condition compared to using fully chemical contained products.  I have found my forehead and cheeks especially look smoother, acne appears to have reduced and pores appear less visible.




My final thought:
I Will continue to use this and I think it’s a must have for the bathroom! I have not tried any other Black African Soaps brands, this being the first one, and I'm really pleased with it. If you want something natural, pure, and gentle then this is worth trying and it doesn't even cost a bomb.  

I love the simple ethnic style of the packaging and I will probably try some of there other products out as they look interesting not to mention natural!

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

Image
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.  ...
