Earthnicity Mineral Concealer in 'Honey' Review

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. I switch between Alima Pure's Foundation and Earthnicity's and wanted a concealer powder for brightening up under my eyes forehead, cheeks, anywhere where I get redness like sides of my nose and darker pigmented areas. 

Honey
Is a light pale shade with a slight yellow tint to it so its perfect for brightening. 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 to get a concealer a shade or two lighter than my skin colour.



How I use it
I haven't tried this as an under eye concealer on its own yet as I have very dark circles. I use a Studio Paris 78 concealer under my eyes and I use Earthnicity's concealer on top just to smooth the look and give more cover up around my eyes. It also works really well as a primer for mineral eye shadows on the lid. I then use this around places where I get redness and where I want to brighten, like the centre of my face. I use a soft brush with this concealer. I then use a mineral powder foundation on top to bring the look together, if I want more coverage or brightness I layer on some more of the concealer.

My Final Thought
I like that it stays put and doesn't disappear like some powders. It is a concealer and its meant to conceal which it does, it hides my red patches and discolouration. I look glowy at the end of the day as it sets beautifully and it doesn't highlight any dry patches on my face. :)

Also what I love about Earthnicity is that they always have a generous 40% off promotion going on so your really getting a bargain with these products!

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.  ...
