Bourjois Air Mat Foundation Golden Beige | Review & swatch

 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 - that it was the Bourjois Foundation. Anyways, kept it on even though I "thought" I didn't like it. It felt smooth and light on the face, blusher and the usual makeup went on smoothly, when I looked in the mirror of a well lit room, my skin looked fresh, flawless and matte, I was surprised! This was due to using only a teeny tweeny bit of moisturiser mind you. I think thats why it looked so much better on my face, it didn't feel cakey, my skin felt smooth like a soft natural matte finish. I was pretty impressed, and for days that I want to look alittle more made up and flawless I think I will use this. Even though its matte, my skin looks lit from within. Along with using a highlighter, skin looks radiant and light reflecting even though it's matte finish.

My Final Thought
The shade Golden Beige, is actually spot on. I look fresh faced, matte and pretty flawless. Even though it feels and looks quite light it has medium to full coverage. I think this is perfect for those days where you want to look better and flawless during the day and not have amples of foundation on. I STILL prefer natural products, but overall this is a pretty good impressive drugstore foundation! The tube is so handy for travelling, its light and compact.

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...

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...

Solgar Skin, Hair and Nails review

Image
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.
