BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Spice 08 | Review & swatch

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel in Spice 08 Review & Swatch

 

Quite impressed with this, although the shade I was matched to is just alittle bit dark, however, it's workable and gives me a sunkissed glow,  I'd probably get one shade up from this next time. I have the shade Spice 08 which looks like a toffee or fudge shade equivelent!

For a hydrating tinted cream the pigment is quite good, most gel creams sort of give no cover at all, but this gives good natural light coverage. It doesn't cover my eyebags or dark pigmented skin but once you have your whole makeup on it looks really nice for a natural day look, not flawless or perfect but naturally pretty.  It certainly is very hydrating, feels nice on the skin, dries quite quick but is blend-able. 

When I want more coverage I use my mineral powders with this and it looked really good, so it works really well if you want to set it with a powder or use minerals on top. 

My final thought
I didn't really like their mineral powders when they first came out, I happened to buy this when I was browsing. It has an SPF of 30 so this is perfect for holidays, the tube is practical. Its says apply more layers for more coverage however as it's hydrating I wouldn't want to layer this on and look shiny at the end of the day. By the end of the day I look pretty natural with just this on, it's okay for day looks, running errands etc if you want a natural better version of your self coverage then this is very suitable. It gives you an effortless dewy glow without feeling dewy on the skin, if you know what I mean. Like MAC Face and Body feels dewy on the skin like it hasn't set, this looks dewy but doesn't feel like that, so it feels so much more comfortable. I do like the natural glow it gives me as you can see from my blended in swatch it has a lovely ir, I look sunkissed and healthy, but by the end of the day abit tangoed because of the shade, so I wonder if the shade up would match me. If your looking for something that makes it look like your skin but better, with a nice dewy glow then this might be what your looking for. As it's winter at the moment, it makes my skin look hydrated and adds life back into me.

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.  ...
