BLEACH London White Toner | Review

Image
  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 ...

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Ultra Lengthening Mascara | Review

Image
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 ...

Trilogy Certified Rosehip Oil Review

Image
  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...

Sukin Antioxidant Eye Serum | Review

Image
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...

NYX Lingerie matte lip shades - Pillow Talk & Ruffle Trim

Image
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...
