Loreal Balmain Lipsticks in Fever and Confession | Review and swatches


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 mind. Another shade that I thought would look flattering on warmer complexions and really suit a bronzed look. I have seem pics of lighter women with ginger/red hair and it really pops on them too. Also seen it on darker women and looks really nice. I think it's such a unique shade as I've not come across it before so had to purchase it.
My Final Thought
If you have a medium warm complexion similar to mine you HAVE to by 'Confession'. You won't regret it. Btw I know I haven't gone into the quality or consistency in this post. I have wrote about loreal lipsticks in other posts and this collection in the two shades are really smooth pigmented and feel soft and comfortable so the quality is amazing.

It's Pure Organics Herbal Hair Colour Dark Brown | Review

Image
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
