Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten Face Powder Review

Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten

This product is so underrated. I got talked into getting it by my sister quite some time ago. I got it in a set of three things from QVC. I didn't use it much at the time, as I wasn't sure exactly how to use it. After a few months of it sitting in my makeup draw, I decided to lightly brush it across my face on top of a light liquid foundation. I got into work and looked in the ladies' mirror and thought wow!

Balance-n-Brighten in Medium

 How it looks:
The thing about this product is that a little goes along way. A light brush across your face literally brightens the face up, its perfect to use after a natural sheer/light foundation, just to compliment it and complete the look.   Don't expect miracles with this product, it's something that gives you a subtle makeover, so not like heavy coverage or something. I use this everyday for a day time natural look. Its light and non cakey. This shade really compliments my skin tone it sets the makeup up perfectly giving me a lovely glow with a semi-matte finish. I haven't used it on my own, I think it works better on top to dust across the face just to wake your skin up and making it look naturally glowy and fresh. The fact that it balances the skin tone out and brightens the face up is perfect for the morning to wake up tired skin. 

The medium shade is a perfect universal shade I think, its a very natural colour and it would compliment every skin tone, I don't think you have to really worry about the colour with this, as its a brightening product its kind of like a subtle highlighter /powder for all over the face so would suit most skin tones.

My Final Thought:
Love it! Love it! Love it! A quick sweep of this across the face totally brightens and balances me up lol! Will repurchase again.

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.  ...
