Burts Bees Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil & Belly Butter Review

Burts Bees Mama Bee Nourishing Body Oil & Belly Butter

 Well ever since I found out I was pregnant (what a surprise!) I was gifted these two from my sister. I literally have been using them from week 6 to now which is 8 and a half months pregnant and I can say confidently I have no stretch marks, irritated or taunt/ tight feeling skin! It might be down to good genes, but I feel these products play a part in making my skin feel moisturised and soft. 

Nourishing Body Oil
I love the oil, I use it every day without fail, after a shower or just before bed, it smells refreshing, citrus or lemony like which was perfect for me when I was going through the morning sickness faze. It wasn't too strong or unpleasantly sweet, infact I found the smell comforting when I went to sleep - 1st trimester hormones and that!

Belly Butter
The cream is great, I use it all over my body, as well as my bump and back. This doesn't have a strong fragrance to it at all, smells mildly like shea butter and is very moisturising, makes my skin feel soft and supple. 

My Final Thought
This is a perfect combo for when your expecting, lovely products to gift someone too. I use the oil everyday and I'm only half way through it. The Belly Butter is rich and softening - perfect for a growing belly. The prices of the product are not too steep either, for a natural product its worth the money. Burt's Bees has a great reputation and it's Mama Bee range is great too.

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.  ...
