My Favourite 5 products of 2014!

My Fabulous Five Products of 2014...




 1. Inika Foundation 
This stuff is amazing for a natural organic foundation. It's my go to and everyday foundation for a light semi-matte finish. It's been perfect for me over the winter months as it's moisturising yet not greasy, I don't get any dry patches and flaky skin with this unlike some foundations that dry out your face in colder weather.  The condition of my skin has improved since moving onto natural products, my skin feels noticably smoother, clearer and softer, and I feel using this product over time has helped, a little blob of this is enough to give me the coverage I require. I love it's semi matte glowy finish it gives me and the shade 'BEIGE' is perfect for me. My tube is still going on strong but I will be sure to purchase another one as soon as this finishes! 

I give this product a naturally glowing...4.5 out of 5!

2. Earthnicity Mineral foundation
This product goes hand in hand with the Inika Foundation. To compliment my Inika foundation I buff some of this into my skin after I've applied Inika, and I get the perfect naturally looking flawless fresh glow to my skin. I use this everyday not so much on it's own, but with the Inika and I just LOVE the way my skin looks. No, you won't look like Studio Fix coverage, but you will look like you have naturally good flawless skin from within, and thats why it's perfect for an everyday natural look...The pot is so generous with the amount that's in there, compared to other mineral makeup brands, this would last me ages and I love that as it's my money's worth. The website always has promotions every so often so it's convenient to purchase when the promos are on. I'm so glad I came across this product by googling randomly, even got my sister hooked on this.

I give this a naturally flawless 5 out of 5 as it's probably the best mineral foundation I've come across so far (and I've tried loads)! It gives me a 'ethereal' glow from within which no other mineral foundation has come close to.

3. Maybelline Anti-Ageing Foundation
I don't use this as a foundation but more as a skin brighting concealer under my eyes and T-zone etc. It's something that's not exciting to rave about (for me personally) but it's something thats been so handy to have in my makeup box. Those days I wake up looking really tired and crap, and I need to brighten and wake up my face, this basically is the product I grab. The coverage is really good, its not greasy or goes shiny by the end of the day, its smooth and easy to blend, the shade 'Light' is perfect as a concealor for me. 

It's so handy to have lying around and for that I will give it a 4 out of 5!

4. Hashmi Kajol - the one in the tube!

This little wonder has been the best kohl/kajol liner since I was first introduced to makeup years ago. I haven't done a review on it, and I'm not sure why as it's something I use quite alot but didn't realise till I wrote this. It's a small cute tube and it only costs under £2 from my local indian store. It is by far the best black kohl for the eyes I've come across. I wear contact lenses so I've had problems in the past where the kohl gets flakey or irritates my eyes and some just melt round the undereye or fade away or simply aren't black enough! well this little tube gives the perfect swish of black on my waterline in one swish. it doesn't irritate my eyes, and it stays pretty dark all day.

Always delivers and for that I give it a 5 out of 5! it's perfect!

5. Jasons Jojoba Shampoo and Conditioner
I'm still abit on the fence with this product, but whenever I go back to a natural brand of shampoos I always tend to go back to this, hence it is in my favourites. In the past this shampoo and condition has been very softening for my hair specially in the summer, but this winter my hair just lacks lustre. so hmm...I love the smell of this, but I'm still searching for a natural shampoo range that delivers.

Can you recommend any good natural or organic shampoo brands?

On the fence so I will give this a 3.5 out of 5.

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.  ...
