Topshop Sheer Lips Review

Topshop Sheer Lips in Nuclear & Red Alert

Topshop's new lip range! I bought two colours which I thought would compliment my skintone in Nuclear and Red Alert. They had a light nude sort of colour which wouldn't suit my complexion as I have dark pigmented lips, it would look too sheer and I think they had a deep plumy shade too.

How they look/feel:
They come on sheer with the first layer like a tinted lip balm, the more you apply and layer on the more stronger colour you can get. Its lovely for a sheer lip tint or if you want a bolder look its definitely buildable.

The are very moisturising and soft on the lips, not sticky though. Only thing is with these moisturising lip tints is that during the day they kind of seep outside your lips, so don't get carried away and use right to the rims of your lips, I use it just as a natural lip tint.

Red Alert
A nice red shade, not too scarlett or orange toned, just the perfect red. If your like me and don't use red lipsticks much, but would wear red in a subtle tint or sheer coverage then this is perfect as it's not too in your face, and you can build up the colour to your preference.

Nuclear
I found this in the tube looking more of a bright coral shade leaning more to the pink side. However when it is swatched and on the lips it looks like a nice warm soft medium pink shade. Reminds me of watermelon when it's swatched.

My Final Thought:
Two lovely shades, these are perfect for the spring when you want to look fresh, glowy and dewy with a sheer natural lip tint to enhance your own lip colour. The packaging is cute too, lovely to put in your handbag and use on the go. Glad I got these, I would not hesitate with Topshop products, as you can see with my other reviews!

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.  ...
