Lily Lolo - Montego Bay Bronzer and Coming up Roses Blush | Review

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 much you want it to show, alittle goes along way for adding the glow and warmth into my skin.

Blush
I had another blush called 'Burst your Bubble'. It's a lovely shade, but I had to layer it on due to it being alittle light for my complexion, I think it's more suitable for fairier/ lightely tanned complexions. I bought 'Coming up Roses' which was much more deeper and visible on my cheeks, its a lovely muted deep rose shade. Great to freshen up the complexion and give a natural flush to the cheeks, especially for the winter its a lovely shade.

My Final Thought
I love the slimline  minimal looking packaging Lily Lolo have. Makes the products easy to travel with and easier to fit into compact makeup bags. The pricing is really good considering the products are natural and really worth the quality, they have offers pretty often so always worth buying stuff in bulk when the sales are on. The sent me a cute catalogue with all their products nicely swatched which is so helpful. Their eyeshadow palettes look amazing, if they have one with more warmer shades such as mauves, pinks and peaches, a natural dupe for the Urban decay Heat palette I would absolutely buy that (just an idea!)

BTW...how cute is this gold makeup bag!

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

Loreal Colour Riche Matte Lipstick in 640 Erotique | Review & swatch

Image
Love this range of Matte lipsticks from Loreal. I picked up two other shades but this is currently my favourite go to nude shade at the moment. It's the perfect medium deep warm pinkish slightly brown toned shade that looks so flattering on medium/tanned skin. I think its such a nice warm nude it would probably suit all complexions to be honest, it wouldn't wash you out.  My Final Thought The lipsticks are so pigmented and smooth and the lasting power is really good. I love the packaging and the crocodile print texture on it just makes it look so classy. Boots and Superdrugs in the UK have the 3 for 2 offer so often its worth picking up 3 shades, they are priced so reasonably and totally worth the colour pay off and quality. They feel so soft and creamy on the lips and they have a great shade range which I think would cater for all skintones, so one drugstore brand that will get a thumbs up for me! 640 Erotique lipstick swatch

Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation Review

Image
Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Foundation in Golden Glow I was really getting into Mineral makeup (and still am!) and I've tried a few different brands so I thought I'd review them as I go along.  I was looking around for mineral foundations that would suit my asian skintone, and I came across Jane Iredale on the internet, and realised there was a salon just next to my workplace that had their products. I bought the Jane Iredale Mineral Pressed Powder in the shade 'GOLDEN GLOW'. It comes in quite a heavy sturdy gold coloured metal case, which is really good and this can be refilled with just the pressed powders, so love that idea, great investment. I have eastern asian nc35-40 skintone and anything that has the word 'golden' in it gets me interested! Hence, this shade was right up my street. I tried using this product in different methods. One way is that I tried using it just as a mineral foundation on it's own. I used it with a lot of layers and real
