Collection CreamPuff Moisturising Lip Cream Review

Collection CreamPuff Moisturising Lip Cream These caught my eye at Superdrugs and I thought dupe (ahem..copy) of NYX soft matte lips creams! I picked up two colours that I thought would suit me. I don't usually by stuff from 'Collection', it is probably the cheapest makeup brand in drugstores, and nothing really appealed to me from their range although I did try their concealer once and was impressed. Fairy Cake This shade is very similar to NYX's 'Antwerp' which I love. Its a nice soft warm coral colour, which can look more vibrant if layered on. Not sure why it's called Fairy Cake though as coral doesn't really relate to cake to me..hmm! Cotton Candy A warm medium rose pink shade. top: Cotton Candy, bottom: Fairy Cake left: Fairy Cake, Right: Cotton Candy How they look: When I bought these I think they were £2.99, which is really cheap. I didn't expect great quality with these, although the colour payoff is pretty goo

Healthy Sexy Hair Leave in Conditioner Spray

Healthy Sexy Hair Leave In - Conditioner   Saw this product in a Youtube video and someone was raving about it. I looked online and got the best deal on Beautybay for around £9 and free delivery. I have thick Asian wavy hair recently dyed with highlights so I need the extra conditioning specially in winter as it just goes very frizzy and dry. I thought the packaging looked cute and I’ve not tried this brand before and wanted a leave-in conditioner that’s not too heavy on the hair so I thought I’d give this a try.     How it feels/smells: It has a lovely refreshing smell can't pinpoint what exactly but it smells amazing, kind of floral and fresh. It's very light, I like the fact its a spray. I use this when my hair is still wet or damp to give it extra conditioning. The fact that its really light is good as it doesn't weigh down the hair or make it greasy or heavy looking.   My Final Thought: Its a nice light product, keeps hair feeling soft, haven't

Topshop Lipsticks Review

Topshop Lipsticks Review I love Topshop lipsticks, I've read some reviews that say the quality is just as good as MAC, minus the price. They have a lovely range of shades that are unique, bold and colourful (not as big as MAC’s though).  If your looking for some statement colours then Topshop has a nice range that you can choose from to suit any skin tone/shade. What I like about Topshop lippies are that they are colourful, fun and have a perfect ‘medium shade’ range meaning are great for golden/tan complexions and darker shades. They have a few paler shades, but even the nudes and corals can really work on Asian skin tones because they are not too milky or pale. I haven’t dared to use their darker shades, simply because I like colours I can wear at work and out and about, but I think the good thing about these lipsticks are they are warm toned rather than cool so they cater for warmer complexions really well.   From Left: Ditsy, Charmed, Oh La La How to use: I always

Earthnicity Mineral Blusher Review

Earthnicity Mineral Blusher Review in Sorbet So glad I got this shade, it compliments my skin really nicely and looks like a natural colour I'd get if I blushed. A little goes a long way as it's very pigmented and glides on smoothly on top of the Earthnicity Mineral Foundation too. It's a lovely warm peachy shade with really tiny specs of shimmer in it. It gives a lovely healthy looking glow. In the summer if you used this shade with abit of bronzer you will just look beautifully sunkissed! Earthnicity Mineral Blusher in Sorbet My Final Thought: Really impressed with Earthnicity's products, they feel and look of high quality and their online sales are really generous too, non of that 10% crap, more like 40% with these guys, so you won't feel out of pocket!  Isn't it such a cute colour? Next shade I got my eye on is Sweet Pink!

Bajaj Almond Drops Non Sticky Hair Oil Review

Bajaj Almond Drops Non Sticky Hair Oil with Vitamin E I have gone through a lot of hair oils and I use them frequently in between my washes and I leave it overnight when I have the time.  I like trying out different brands, so I saw this in my local Indian shop, and it was very cheap so I thought I'd give it a try (big mistake).  I was in a rush so I didn't take a look at the ingredients however when I got home I noticed the 1st ingredient was mineral oil which I've read some negative things about...and the 2nd ingredient being vegetable oil?!  First thing that came to my mind was the oil my mum uses to make a curry, so didn't feel too good about putting this stuff on my hair. Then finally the 3rd ingredient being almond oil and then vitamin E oil. I'm trying to moving more towards natural products now specially when it comes to hair oils, one of my favourite light hair oils being 'Fushi Really Good hair Oil' so the ingredients in Bajaj really put me of
