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...

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.  ...
