That Natural Glow...

  So I picked this up from Boots, was glad to see they had the option of natural and no harsh chemical alternatives to the usual hair products. I picked up the 'nourishing Ylang-ylang and sage' shampoo and conditioner. I think they had a moisturising range and also an cleansing range. I though this would be better for me due to having unruly thick and dry hair. Straight to the point I have to say I'm not that impressed. The products certainly do not suit my thick wavy hair it is way to drying. The shampoo does a good cleanse although its drying which I'm ok with but the conditioner should bring moisture back to my hair which it didn't. I feel this would better suit finer that's already in good condition. I also had to use twice as much conditioner as it wasn't doing much which means I ran out of conditioner alot quicker. My Final Thought Price was reasonable but disappointed the shampoo and conditioner didn't suit my hair. Would of been so co

Omg! I'm really loving this foundation! I saw just a few videos of this brand on YouTube and kind of guessed my shades and just took a chance and ordered them.  Usually I try to refrain from ordering from the US because of the taxes in the UK but ordered anyway. I did get charged £11 because my order was over £15 which was a bummer but oh well!  Shade I ordered two shade in the 'Golden' range. They have cool and neutral available too but Golden was best suited to my warm skintone that has yellow tones too it. They have 8 shades, I think most of the shades are very light and the darkest which is 8 probably just goes up to a Medium to dark skin tone which is probably just like a tanned Golden. I'm only assuming this going by shades 6 and 7 which I purchased. Shade 6 I would say is very subtly light for me but only I can tell, I think this is a good match for a Mac NC 30 to 35. Shade 7, is a perfect match for me, and it's abit warmer than the 6, it matches

 Bourjois Air Mat Foundation Review and swatch in Golden Beige  Bourjois Air Mat Foundation claims to be light weight coverage with a matte finish. I brought this on a whim...prefer my natural products but the simple tube packaging and cute design got me! They only have 4 shades in this range and I picked up the Golden Beige which I think is the darkest in Boots (could be wrong). Ok, I came back to this product a month after I bought it, as when I initially bought it, I caked on my moisturiser and used this foundation, but it oxidised and went shiny which made the 'matte look' look dull and weird on my face. I wasn't impressed as I totally emptied their healthy mix foundation.  Then in the rush of an early morning, getting ready in a half lit room due to my baby still sleeping, I picked up this tube thinking it was my BareMinerals Complexion Rescue (the tube looks so similar - in the dark anyway!) and slapped it on my face, only realising why is my face so matte -

  A lovely warm peachy brown shade for autumn! Perfect medium shade for those that don't want to go too dark.

I was excited when this came out and in their sale I managed to get it for around £19. It is exactly what it says a tinted moisturiser for those that don't want to wear something heavy like a foundation. I like that this is natural and the ingredients are not toxic. The shade medium was a tad orange, for medium I was expecting something more golden or yellow based but as it's so light in consistency it blends  into your skin without looking orange so thats not a problem. The texture is very light and smooth. I like that it's not sticky or too dewy like some tinted moisturisers, it dries to a semi matte finish on me. I dust my Mineral powders on top as I do prefer slightly more coverage and it goes on so smoothly on top of this tinted moisturiser. It feels nice and Earthnicity mineral  foundation in Natural Buff goes perfectly with this. I feel that the original price is abit steep considering you can get a foundation for that price with more coverage but it's s

I lost alot of hair during and after my pregnancy and taking these tablets really helped grow my hair back around my hairline and near my temples where my hair fell out. Despite alot of hair falling out I feel these product has still helped my hair feel thick and healthy and has helped assisted my new hair growing back. I have not noticed change in my nails, I keep my nails short so they always pretty strong, my skin has been clear, and probably alot clearer all round really which could be due to the tablets. My Final Thought I took these for my hair and my hair generally feels so much better. It was falling out so much and now my hair doesn't fall out that much as it did before in clumps, just get the usual fall out in the shower now.

  I recently ombre'd my hair at the salon and after a few washes the toner fades and you end up with some gingery ends! I didn't want to spend any more money at the salon after spending over £100 to get the ombre eek!! I decided to try the White Toner from Boots, now I know it usually costs around 8 to 10 pounds I think but for some reason my local Boots priced there's at £1.45 so a bargain?! Anyways with any type of dark hair you end up with orange, gingery hair so I wanted to tone it down abit. I know this Toner in particular is probably better for those with really light yellow blonde hair which would make their hair platinum blonde but I thought let me try it on my dark hair anyways. The products and mixture is pretty usual to most toners, you mix a developer and colorant and apply toner on wet hair. I used baby shampoo first though to get rid of any build up on hair which I think is a really good idea as you will get better coverage on the hair. Overall

My sister gifted me this and glad she did. It's natural and the perfect every day mascara a girl should have! I use this as a day to day Mascara as it's not dramatic enough for an evening look for me, but it may work for you! I have long lashes anyway but it definitely defines and lengthens, goes well with my natural fresh faced look. It's not clumpy, it doesn't dry and flake and you can build up the mascara to your desired look. Love the fact the ingredients are also natural, this is what I've copied from the website. Ingredients Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Organic Green Tea), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Cera Alba (Honey Beeswax), Rubus Fruticosus Fruit Extract (Blackberry Extract), Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract (Blackcurrant Extract), Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract (Raspberry Extract), Hydrolyzed Oat Protein (Oat Protein), Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (Wheat Protein), Pantothenic Acid (Pro-vitamin B5), Fucus Vesiculosus Extract (Seaweed Powder), Coconut Stearic Acid

This Humble Rose and Frankinsense Body Wash smells sooo divine! Cannot wait to use it! Like the fact I got a few facial washes as you will defo get through them! The serums..hmm don't want to use them all at once, still using the Trilogy one!

  My Balm Balm Rosehip Miracle Oil ran out so I purchased the Trilogy Rosehip Oil as the reviews are so good on it and apparently Kate Middleton uses it too.  I have to get straight to the point and compare it to Balm Balm's and say it doesn't work for me aswell as Balm Balm's product. If you have read my review for their product, I really enjoyed using it as a night treatment and to wake up with gorgeous supple youthful skin the next day. I even got my sister in law to try it and she says the condition of her skin has changed, much clearer and smoother. Trilogy's product is a lighter oil and it says you only need 2-3 drops but I use a few more to really absorb it into my face. It's lighter oil than Balm Balm so I do sometimes use it under makeup during the day and my makeup does look smoother. As a night time treatment my skin does look smoother in the morning but it doesn't have that wow factor that Balm Balm's products gave me so I'm not that i

Recently subscribed to the Love Lula beauty boxes....excited to try these goodies out!

My eyes have felt quite dry and dehydrated causing me to itch them over summer, I also wear contacts lenses which can make eyes feel even drier time to time. I wanted a moisturising and of course a natural eye product so decided to get the Sukin eye Serum. It feels like a light based moisturiser and it can be used day and night. It actually feels good to use something like this during the day under makeup as the eye area feels smoother and a light layer before makeup makes me feel like there's a barrier between the delicate eye area and makeup which is a good thing! The texture is very light and smooth. I've been using it for a while now and I feel although it helps condition the area of the eye I don't feel my eye bags have gotten any lighter but maybe I need to go through the whole bottle and then see! Would I buy this again? Hmm not sure, for a natural product the price is so affordable, it's moisturising and light for the eye area. My eye area fe

I bought two of these out of the collection in Pillow Talk and Ruffle Trim. A few of the shades were quite light and cool toned, so the two I picked were warm toned. Lovely shades, Ruffle Trim is like a Peachy Brown and Pillow Talk is a Medium Pink nude shade. I wish I could say I love these lip products but I find them really drying. I need lip balm before and after applying and the product feels tacky on the lips for a while. While the shades are really well pigmented I feel the colour on the lips start to fade after a while. These are similar to their matte lip creams however they don't feel as moisturising. I think these two are the only shades I'd get out of the range, I'd use them for a day time look but they feel heavy like I have something on the lips with these so not my favourite but nevertheless lovely shades. My Final Thought  Lovely unique shades however the quality is not as good as their popular soft matte lip creams that feel so nice and soft

Colour Rewind Review A brief history of what I've been upto with my hair. A while back I used Loreal Rimini which is really good for those with natually or dyed dark hair as it brought my hair upto a lovely light brown. However silly me, always wanted a change; decided to be abit different, so I bought a box of Live Violet hair dye. Now, I've used Live hair dyes before and they've always made my hair go jet black and I never get that purple hue or blue hue etc but as their was a sale and it said it had some lightening in the pack I thought hey ho let's try it. Well it darkened my hair quite abit and then left me with a red halo which was slowly fading to orange...the worst colour! I then used a semi permant hair dye, I used a dark brown to get rid of the halo.....then waited 4 weeks and used Nice and Easy Light Ash brown to get back to a nice neutral brown.  That wasn't happening because of all the hairdye build up!!! I popped into Superdrugs and got the

The Body Shop - Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil Review I've used most of this product so think a review is in order. I came across this in a Youtubers favourites video so I thought I'd give it a try.  It is a gentle soft Cleansing Oil. I haven't used a cleaning oil before so not sure what I was expecting.  I normally wet my hands and face before I use a cleansing product so I kept forgetting that I need to keep my hands and Face dry in order to use this product! So to use it effectively I had to remember how to use it! Secondly, I used it to wipe off makeup, and found that it removed mineral makeup well, but anything heavier like a liquid foundation, and mascara and concealer, it just looked abit of a mess on the face. Just felt like I was smearing product all over my face...I suppose thats what an oil will do though. Once I used the cleansing oil and then applied water to wash it off, I felt it didnt give a good clean to my face so I still had to go and use anoth

Soap and Glory Vitamin C Facial Wash Oooh gotta love their long product names, they literally have the whole description in the product name itself! I got this product when it was on offer and it was around 5 pounds in Boots. I needed a face wash and this one looked like a good deal at 350ml. You don't even get that much shampoo at a good price!  Anyway it does the job. Washes away makeup and any residue on face, does a full clean of the face making it sqeaky clean without drying it out. The packaging is cute - a blue formula with pink balls. I'm not sure if the small exfoliating pink balls are of any use though as I think the blue liquid product itself it what really gives the face a good clean. My face does look fresh whilst using this product, I haven't had any reactions to this product, it is gentle enough to use everyday. As for the Vitamin C in it, I don't know how much of this it has to make an effect because I don't think its a product that bene

Akamuti Rose Beauty Mask I like this mask and it's ideal for those with sensitive skin as it seems really gentle - made out of roses, as gentle as it gets! It smells lovely and once made into a paste its a lovely fun pink colour. My skin feels refreshed, hydrated and smooth with this mask. It doesn't strip your skin of oils, or make your skin feel dry. There's so much of the powder in the tub it would last me ages! I've never come across a rose face mask before so this was quite interesting to use.  Organic Rosewater I use this to set my makeup with. Wanted something natural without the chemicals. It's perfect for setting my face when I use loose powder minerals as it pulls the whole look together and leaves my skin looking more natural and less dry and powdery. Only thing is if your looking for something to take your makeup off with, this didnt' really work for me in that way, I was still left with some makeup residue, so it's not the best

Nvey Eco Moisture Rich Fluid Foundation Review - shade Cool Natural As you may or may not know I'm always on the quest for looking for natural/organic makeup. I came across this whilst searching on google and following their instagram page. I thought the price was reasonable for me to try. On Amazon I got the foundation for 20 quid. One thing I wasn't too sure about was the shade. Their website isn't very helpful, as you cannot see the exact shade colour. It just asks you to to complete the foundation selecter and will roughly tell you what you are; because of this I had to roughly guess my shade. I did try google the shades and a few bloggers swatched 'Cool Natural' which is described as a light to medium yellow toned shade. On some of the bloggers photos this looked quite like a medium yellow toned shade so I thought this would be the most suitable match, instead of the medium to tan 'Warm Honey' shade.  Once it did arrive in the post though,
