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

Loreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick in 640 Erotique | Review & swatch

Image
Love this range of Matte lipsticks from Loreal. I picked up two other shades but this is currently my favourite go to nude shade at the moment. It's the perfect medium deep warm pinkish slightly brown toned shade that looks so flattering on medium/tanned skin. I think its such a nice warm nude it would probably suit all complexions to be honest, it wouldn't wash you out.  My Final Thought The lipsticks are so pigmented and smooth and the lasting power is really good. I love the packaging and the crocodile print texture on it just makes it look so classy. Boots and Superdrugs in the UK have the 3 for 2 offer so often its worth picking up 3 shades, they are priced so reasonably and totally worth the colour pay off and quality. They feel so soft and creamy on the lips and they have a great shade range which I think would cater for all skintones, so one drugstore brand that will get a thumbs up for me! 640 Erotique lipstick swatch

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation Review

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Foundation in Golden Glow I was really getting into Mineral makeup (and still am!) and I've tried a few different brands so I thought I'd review them as I go along.  I was looking around for mineral foundations that would suit my asian skintone, and I came across Jane Iredale on the internet, and realised there was a salon just next to my workplace that had their products. I bought the Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder in the shade 'GOLDEN GLOW'. It comes in quite a heavy sturdy gold coloured metal case, which is really good and this can be refilled with just the pressed powders, so love that idea, great investment. I have eastern asian nc35-40 skintone and anything that has the word 'golden' in it gets me interested! Hence, this shade was right up my street. I tried using this product in different methods. One way is that I tried using it just as a mineral foundation on it's own. I used it with a lot of layers and real
