Topshop Contour Cream in Swerve - Review

Topshop Contour Cream in Swerve - Review

I could totally rave about Topshop's makeup all day. The quality is amazing, the shade ranges are unique, their packaging is cute, and their prices are not too bad either!

To add to my collection I got the Topshop Contour cream in the shade 'Swerve'. I'm not much of a contour girl; I use Topshop's Matte bronzer as a subtle contour sometimes but as the Anastasia kits started coming about with contour creams I came across this product. I couldn't see myself getting a full on contour palette, simply because I'm not into the full makeup look, so I thought this small little contour cream compact was perfect when I felt like doing a little bit extra.

How it feels
Firstly it is so easy to use. It has a really good soft smooth texture and I use my fingers to apply or 'draw' on contour lines on my face where ever I want it. I then use a contour brush and soften it out. it's build-able too so you can use as much or as little as you need. I find that a little goes along way. Contour creams give that little bit more definition than powders so it gives me a really good definition under my cheekbones. 

The Shade
I think they had one shade lighter than this, but as I wanted to have something in my makeup collection that gave me a good strong contoured look I thought this shade was perfect, it's a cool toned grey-brown. The fact that its so blendable makes it perfect for anyone to use, I think even lighter skin tones could use this. The shade is a nice cool toned brown. I like the fact its not orange or warm toned as that would look fake, this give a lovely natural cool toned shadow under cheek bones jaw line etc. 



My Final Thought
It's not a product I use everyday, so I've got alot to go through, but it's something worth having in your makeup collection if your like me and don't need a whole palette. It's cute and compact so you can put it in your make up bag. It is a convenient practical contour cream to have.

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...

Uoga Uoga Mineral Makeup | Review and swatch

Image
I came across this brand on Instagram when it came up on my explorer page. Their make-up and packaging looks cute not to mention natural and pure! I have nearly finished my huge jar of Earthnicity Mineral foundation that I use on top of the Inika Liquid Foundation, so I thought I'd try another brand out. As I get shiny and most mineral foundations melt and disappear on me I was glad to see that Uoga Uoga Mineral foundation has Kaolin Clay in it to absorb oils and it also has Amber as one of the ingredients which is found in Lithuania and well known for.  Apparently Amber has regenerating and healing properties in it so its a bonus to have in the foundation. Mineral Powder - Amber Sand Uoga Uoga don't have a variety of shades and seem to have more lighter shades which I'm not surprised as I'm just guessing majority of Lithuanian customers have lighter skin tones however I managed to find my shade in 'Amber Sand' which is a medium warm shade with yell...
