Sleek True Colour Lipstick & Swatches

Sleek True Colour Lipsticks  Love these lippies, amazing pigmented colour, staying power and quality! Sleek True Colours Lipsticks Papaya Punch - matte A very bright and vibrant coral colour more on the orangey soft red side. Sleek - Papaya Punch swatch Peaches and Cream - sheen A natural looking peach shade - can come out looking abit lighter than in the lipstick so can make me look abit washed out unless I add bit of bronzer and warmth to my face to go with the lighter/paler lipstick shade look. Sleek - Peaches & Cream swatch Heartbreaker - matte A fun playful medium-deep pinky- red, lovely colour for going out in! Sleek - Heartbreaker swatch Bare All - matte A very neutral brown toned natural-nude shade. Perfect for natural looks and work. Sleek - Bare All swatch Smother - Sheen Not been daring enough to try this shade yet, its not as dark in the lipstick, but its a lovely purple reminds me of Aubergine or Blackcurra

Inika Certified Organic Liquid Foundation Review

Inika Certified Organic Liquid Foundation I'm really trying to gear more towards natural and organic products, and using certain products everyday, like foundations and moisturisers I thought I'd try the Inika Liquid Foundation. I got a sample of the Inika in the shade 'Honey', which is described to suit medium to dark beige and warm/tan tones. (From the swatches below it probably looks an exact match to my hand, but my face is alot lighter...if your Asian like me then you know we are different shades all over!). Inika sample in Honey Inika - Honey swatch Inika Honey swatch with flash How it feels It feels kind of sticky and tacky when you first put it on the face, I think the best way to use this is with your fingers to blend as it doesn't glide as smoothly across your face like most foundation do which has silicones in it. How it looks When I first put it on I thought I'd look quite shiny, as it has a dewy feeling and finish, how

Grow Gorgeous Hair Serum Review

Grow Gorgeous Hair Serum   I tried this when it first came out, I was very intrigued and curious to what it claims to do...(which seems to be a miracle!)   It claims to 'help' your hair appear to look longer, fuller and thicker looking. I think they picked their words well (and carefully!) as it doesn't claim to 'make' hair fuller, thicker etc but just 'appear'.   Well I'm not good with keeping a routine with something and I did use this bottle till the end which was 3 months like it says, however to see the full benefits it says you have to use it for 6 months, which would be two bottles of this stuff, as each bottle lasts 3 months roughly.   What I did notice with this product is that my hair fell out a lot less or hardly in the shower. When I massaged it into the scalp my hair at the roots did feel thicker and more dense, however I have thick hair to begin with so I was not entirely convinced. I think if I massaged anything into the s

Afterglow Cosmetics Organic Triple Eye Treatment Concealer Review

Afterglow Organic Triple Eye Treatment in Praline Absolutely love this concealer! This was my first well spent concealer...and I've hit pan and pretty much completed the Jar in over a year now. I love the fact it is a natural treatment and a concealer in one pot not to mention anti ageing. Shade It doesn't clog pores in the eye area, a little goes a long way with this product as its so pigmented you don't really need to layer it on. one coat is enough for me. I have to say when I first got the Jar I was shocked as I thought it was so small (which it is), but its money well spent as its lasted me aaaaaages and gives brilliant coverage which is perfect for my skin tone. If your round an NC35 to NC42 then Praline is the perfect shade for you, specially if your warm, golden or olive toned, it will blend in well. It's a semi-matte to dewy finish and brightens up the eye area. The ingredients are organic and natural which is the most important thing for me, specially

How to restore & get soft shiny thick luscious hair using Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado OIl & Rosemary Essential Oils

How to restore & get soft, thick, luscious healthy hair using natural hair oils Dyeing my hair frequently and getting highlights on dark hair really took its toll on my hair. No matter what shampoo and conditioner I switched too, nothing really helped. The mid to end lengths of the hair was dry and damaged and my roots just felt rough and frizzy. I really needed some deep conditioning to sort my hair out, and drugstore 3 minute miracles products, and hair masks just weren't good enough, most of them have too much fragrance and artificial stuff in them they don't really penetrate and make a difference to the hair. Instead of helping to try and restore hair, they just coat the hair and make it appear or look shinier and healthy which is a good quick remedy if that's what you want but isn't really a permanent treatment to the hair. I really needed a good pick me up routine for my hair to change the texture of it. I naturally have very thick wavy hair so its alread
