That Natural Glow...

I LOVE this brand and its practical packaging. Lily Lolo have a Black Friday sale on and I had my eyes on the Bronzer suitable for medium skintones and a deeper blush.  I also managed get a free makeup bag which is so cute and a bonus of course :) Bronzer The bronzer I got is suitable for medium skintones, called 'Montego Bay'. Its a very warm red/orange toned bronzer with a slight sheen. I was looking for a bronzer that wouldn't make my skin look muddy or dull. The warmth to this bronzer is perfect for giving me a soft healthy holiday glow. I swipe it across my cheeks and forehead, and it warms up my look perfectly. This is my first proper bronzer as for some reason I thought medium or Asian skintones don't need bronzers as we are already pretty glowy and sunkissed! Oh how wrong was I, it just warms/softens/blends/frames the face perfectly. This shade in particular is perfect and deep enough for asian/golden skintones. You can gradually build it up to how mu

So I brought this the same time I got the serum foundation. I think I prefer the full coverage foundation because it gives that extra coverage and doesn't feel too heavy on the skin, I only use a light layer. I have read that some people find it abit cakey, I think it would be if you layer it on a few times, but one layer is sufficient for me.  I have the shade 2.1Y, like the serum foundation it is a tad deep in shade for me, the right tone, but just alittle bit dark for me. I also notice it does oxidise abit and as its super pigmented it can start to look abit darker during the day.  Overall it feels light on the skin, coverage is smooth, I think if I had the right shade I could make it work, the fact that its so pigmented is amazing. They do claim that if your guessing your shade and your 1 or 2 shades out it can still work for you, but I disagree as it is SO pigmented it is better to make sure you get the right shade. you can make it work I guess using a lighter concealer

  So I'm in my early 30's and now have a good few couple of greys! I've had highlights in the past, a few different hair colours, some worked some haven't. I have decided to let my hair grow and get abit healthy and just leave it a shade that's similar to my own but abit lighter. I have very dark brown Asian hair, but not black. I did originally use Naturigin hair dye which gave my hair a lovely brown shade, covered greys well, but their lighter shades seemed warm toned and it was hard to get access to as only a few Lloyds Pharmacies had it in my area and it wasn't local to me. So anyway my sister recommended Naturtint, its similar to Naturigin as in less chemicals, low PHD levels etc so hopefully less harm and damage to the scalp and hair compared to dyes you get at the drugstore. The good thing about Naturtint dyes, is they are easily available at Hollands and Barretts, and the shades range from G- golden shades, A - ash tones, N - Neutral/Natural
