Yes to Carrots Daily Facial Moisturiser Review

Yes to Carrots Daily Facial Moisturiser Review I bought this as I wanted a more natural face moisturiser and this says its got 95% natural ingredients. This is a good moisturiser for the summer as I find, once you put it on it has a thick dry texture to it, probably because of the SPF 15. When I use this in colder months I find it too drying and when I apply my makeup on top I fee it highlights the dry bits on my face like around my nose and forehead.  It's not the most moisturising product I have come across, I think they have different versions of this which might be more better in terms of hydrating the skin. I don't find this nourishing or hydrating for my skin, but it is probably a good product to take on holiday for warmer weathers as it has SPF15 in it.  My Final Thought It's not the best moisturiser I've come across, I probably won't be getting this again as I don't feel it sits well on my skin.

Earthnicity Mineral Concealer in 'Honey' Review   Oh my days I totally love this concealer and was surprised what a difference it makes to my skin. Since I've moved onto mineral makeup for everyday use I thought I'd add a concealer to my collection as I already use Earthnicity's Natural Buff Mineral Foundation.

It compliments really well with the Natural Buff foundation shade which I use. Honey is lighter than my skin tone as I wanted something to brighten up areas. The next shade down I think they have is called Sand which I think would of matched my skin exactly but then wouldn't of brightened up areas on my face; I usually like

Earthnicity Mineral Eye shadow in 'Iced Coffee' I'm on a journey to start slowly, slowly replacing high end products and drugstore makeup that have chemicals in them that aren't good for the skin. Although I have alot to go through and still get tempted with treating myself to high end foundations and drugstore eye shadow palettes I decided to embark on mineral eye shadows next! I picked this mid brown shade Iced Coffee as I thought it would be a perfect everyday natural shade for me. It has slight flecks of shimmer in it, but when I apply it, it looks pretty matte which is perfect for a natural look.  The colour pay off is amazing, Its really pigmented and you don't need alot of it to show. It lasts all day and didn't crease up on my eyes.It applies smoothly, its not chalky or flaky.  Being a loose pigmented eye shadow thought it would get messy, but not at all! I love the cute packaging, its compact and easy to travel with too. As its so pigmented I mi
