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.

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 good, its bold and pigmented, only thing is it feels like there isn't much product in the container so it would finish pretty quick.

Staying power / how it feels:
I put these on just like the NYX soft matte lip creams, I use a non greasy lip balm first then apply the Collection Crème Puffs. They feel nice, lips feel soft, I did have to go over my lips a few times to get the desired look but it when on fine and had a nice finish which is the most important thing.

They don't last aslong as the NYX range, (I can't help but compare these to the NYX as I think their range is just quality!) however, for for the amount your paying these are quite good and the quality is better than I expected.

My Final Thought:
If your on budget and don't mind reapplying then these are a good purchase. They are lovely natural colours and I think would suit most complexions, fair or tanned. They are also buildable shades. I still love the NYX range though which has a variety of colours, but if I want something just to pop on quickly for running errands then I'd use these!

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

Loreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick in 640 Erotique | Review & swatch

Image
Love this range of Matte lipsticks from Loreal. I picked up two other shades but this is currently my favourite go to nude shade at the moment. It's the perfect medium deep warm pinkish slightly brown toned shade that looks so flattering on medium/tanned skin. I think its such a nice warm nude it would probably suit all complexions to be honest, it wouldn't wash you out.  My Final Thought The lipsticks are so pigmented and smooth and the lasting power is really good. I love the packaging and the crocodile print texture on it just makes it look so classy. Boots and Superdrugs in the UK have the 3 for 2 offer so often its worth picking up 3 shades, they are priced so reasonably and totally worth the colour pay off and quality. They feel so soft and creamy on the lips and they have a great shade range which I think would cater for all skintones, so one drugstore brand that will get a thumbs up for me! 640 Erotique lipstick swatch

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation Review

Image
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 real
