Soap and Glory Super Faboulipstick Powdercoat Matte in 'Super Nude' Review

Soap and Glory Super Fabulipstick Powdercoat Matte in 'Super Nude'

Everyone's raving about Soap and Glory's new makeup range and I was tempted to try their award winning lipsticks. They consist of a few lovely everyday nudes/pinks going into evening darker shade lippies. 

Being asian and having pink lips but with a brown outer rim, my lips already have that 'nude' shade so whenever I buy a 'nude' lippy, you really can't tell the difference! I think nude shades look really flattering on fairier complexions; some darker nudes look very sultry on them. For darker complexions they give a glowy radiant look to the skin, but if your somewhere in between with medium skintone like me - it just looks like your own lip shade - don't you agree?

Anyways...

I did swatch the 'Naked Beige' however it reminded me of Mac's Velvet Teddy which is a dark pinky-brown shade which I feel didn't do nothing for me, it was abit darker too, I usually prefer lipstick shades that are bright and uplifting. So on that note I picked up the 'SUPER NUDE' shade.  It's abit lighter than the NAKED BEIGE and more dusky pink with hint of peach than brown toned. When I put this on, I felt it's quite similar to my own lip shade, but made it look more even coloured. It is a more complimentary nude than most I've come across, I would use it everyday, just for the natural look. I don't feel it does much for me in term's of making me look more radiant, or brighter faced but I suppose a nude is a nude and meant to look natural like you got nothing on. I usually prefer peach toned nudes like Rimmel's no. 32 thats like a perfect nude for me.




Super Nude swatch - Soap and Glory Lipstick
My Final Thought
Overall the quality of this product is amazing, its matte but not at all drying, it goes on smoothly and is very pigmented, it feels nice and soft on the lips not cakey. I hope that they would have more colours in brighter pinks and corals and peaches as I would definetely buy them due to the quality. I think I'm just not a 'nude girl', Im yet to find the perfect peachy-coral-apricot nude! (My dream shade...if it's out there...sigh!) Oh yes another thing I noticed, when I rolled the lipstick to the end, it hasn't got as much product in it compared to Topshop lippies, or MAC lippies, so it could finish pretty quick if you use it everyday.

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.  ...
