Zuii Certified Organic Flora Liquid Foundation Review

Zuii Certified Organic Flora Liquid Foundation

I'm trying to move my skincare and makeup more into a natural and organic range. Specially my everyday makeup, I wanted something light for everyday use specially for work and just out and about during the day. I was looking into products that had no chemicals, silicones, and parabens in them. I came across Zuii in a Youtuber's video and she recommended it (think the channel is called Holistic Habits!). It's an Australian brand, and their products can be brought online, there are a few stores also scattered round the world that sell this in their health shops. I used a sample from my sister's to try out, so this is a review only not swatches.

Shade/Colour Selection:
I think their colour selection is quite limited to medium to dark skin tones. Meaning there are no shades for dark skintones! There medium range, which I initially thought would still be too light for me actually matched me quite well. if your more yellow toned then the 'Natural Medium' would be more suitable for you like myself. I think if you between an NC35 to NC37 possibly NC40 you could wear this shade, although it does look like in the bottle. When I first put it on, it blend into my own skin colour well, I look fresh and natural in the morning, the colour does oxidise during the day slightly, so it starts to warm up and look better on your skin, so if you bit darker than me then this could still work for you.

How it feels:
The product has a creamier thick texture, its not runny or like water based, but once on the face it blends in pretty well with the fingers, feeling light kind of like a tinted moisturiser, but not the ones that feel greasy or sticky. This actually feels more mattyifing, and has a semi matte finish and gets to a dewy finish in the day. 


Coverage: 
I liked the light natural glowy coverage this provided in the morning, but by the end of the working day it did sheer out and my blemishes would show through. It gave me a natural no makeup look, to the point i literally looked like I had no makeup on! I think you would only look good for it if you have an even clear complexion from the start.

My Final Thought:
I love the concept of the foundation (made out of flowers!) but sadly it does not have lasting coverage. It's not the best for oily skin types either. If you have dry or maturer skin then this could be good for you, however the coverage does not last throughout the day. I'm glad I did not buy the whole bottle, as it's difficult to get here in the UK and the P&P from Oz would cost a bomb!

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.  ...
