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...

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.  ...
