That Natural Glow...

I picked up another product from PHB and got samples of their new BB cream. I wasn't sure what shade I would be so  I got samples of 'Medium' and 'Tan'.  Medium has been described as: A light-medium shade with warm balanced undertones for light to medium skin tones. Great for light to medium skin tones Tan has been described as: A medium tan shade with warm Peach undertones for tanned to medium skin tones. All shades have an SPF of 15 which is great, and the full size is £18.95 which is pretty good for a natural product.  The description for the BB Cream has been described as (and it sounds absolutely great btw!): PHB's skin nourishing Botanical BB Cream blurs the line between makeup and skin care. Pure Minerals provide subtle coverage to leave skin looking flawless and radiant. Made with organic ingredients that encourage an even and radiant complexion whilst nourishing and protecting skin. With a light and silky texture that wo...

Ok I know I'm abit late with the Balmain Collection. I've walked past thinking should I buy them or should I leave it. I finally decided to get two shades which I thought one is wearable and the other looks interesting! Confession Okay let's start with Confession. Omdz I think I have found my holy grail every day nude lipstick. I think this is what I have been looking for all my life but had to settle with other shades?! I think I wrote in one of my reviews I was looking forever for the perfect medium toned peachy toned nude and this is it! I love it! I think it's SO flattering for warmer complexions and just the right amount of peach to a nude lip. You do not look washed out or too pale on the lips, it has a lovely warmth to it. This is going straight into my makeup bag! Fever I have not tried this yet however excited to do a makeup look with this shade. I would describe this shade as burnt orange or pumpkin or smoked orange -that's what pops to...

Not sure how I came across this brand..I was googling natural organic foundations and this came up. I researched abit into their brand and really likes their ethos. 20% of their profits go towards charity, its cruelty free, vegan and halal. All products have no harsh chemicals or toxic ingredients in them which is so reassuring that whatever you are using is safe if not good for your skin. Shade - Peach I decided to order the shade Peach and it is the perfect shade for me, I was really happy that the shade was quite warm and golden as most natural products I come across are very neutral or cater for fairier complexions. This shade is described to suit light to medium with warm undertones. I say its quite pigmented and slightly deep so medium skintones would suit this more. Consistency It feel very creamy and thick when you pump it out but once its blended out it feels quite thin and light on the skin. Also feel abit like a mousse textured foundation. Throughout the whole d...

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

This is apparently a bestseller and has really good reviews on their website. I actually got this mascara just as an extra thing to try when buying a some of their skincare to try. I'd say its a 'good' mascara for me but could be a great mascara for someone else. It all depends on the look your going for and the lashes you have. I have long lashes but less of them so would look for volume rather than lengthening mascaras. This mascara in particular does not give me volume. It defines my lashes, lifts them which obviously gives a brighter natural awake eye look. This is why it's called 'Brightening mascara to lengthen and lift' and it pretty much does that. I feel it did brighten the eye area up by having defined lashes but obviously not magically make me look brighter or glow lol, I didn't feel it lengthened by lashes though as I think mine are long anyway. My Final Thought I think for those that have short lashes that don't curl perhaps, or f...

Thought I'd do a post with all my Foundation matches for my skin tone for people of similar skintone and shade. I am about an NC40 in MAC Studio Fix could possibly be NC37 in the winter months although I feel that shade leans more neutral and I prefer Golden/Yellow warm tones to my foundations so NC40 would be my closest match. So here's my list as I go along, hopefully its helpful to you... MAC Studio Fix NC40 Bourjois Air Matt - Golden Beige (perfect match for me) The Ordinary Serum Foundation - 2.1Y (tad dark but closest shade match) The Ordinary Full Coverage Foundation - 2.1Y (tad dark but closest shade match) Clinique Super Balanced Foundation in - Silk Sahara (just a tad light, Could be Silk Bamboo) MAC Face and Body - C5   Revlon Colourstay - 310 Warm Golden (right shade, tone is very neural and slightly pink rather than yellow) Loreal True Match - W4 - Could possibly be a darker shade, at the time this matched me and was workable. 100% Pu...
