Naturtint Styling Mousse | Review

Looking for alternative styling products minus all the bad ingredients is pretty hard. I picked Naturtint's styling mousse up from my local Holland and Barretts. The reviews seemed pretty good with not much negatives so I bought this when it was on offer for £7.99 rather than paying full price which was £10.99 I believe.

I actually really like this mousse, it's more lightweight and keeps hair soft and natural looking, yet fixing my natural curls and defining them. To describe the foam, it feels like bubble bath water minus the scent lol. Unlike drugstore Mousse's this product does not make your hair sticky, crunchy, or hard. I think this is why its perfect for second or third day hair as you can build up as much product and it will never feel crunchy, the worst feeling ever! My curls feel very soft and bouncy which also gives the look a more natural softer feel to it. 

How I use it
Once my hair is washed and conditioned, I towel dry let my hair air dry without no heat. I apply this on damp hair, and scrunch it up to get some definition in my wavy/curly hair. As this product doesn't add shine I use a separate serum to add abit of silkiness and shine.

My Final thought
I have blow-dried and straightened my hair so much over the years, literally everyday and decided to take a break from it and embrace my curls (don't know how long that will last!) I think it's taking it's toll as no matter how much I oil it or add deep conditioners, all the heat styling tools just zap the life out of my hair. In winter my hair has been very dry and frizzy, and this product has helped keep my waves/curls tidy and in shape. It doesn't feel heavy on the hair, or like I have any build up on. I have thick wavy asian hair and this product works well with my hair type. I think its also suitable for those that want to style their hair wavy, add definition to the waves and just make their hair appear healthier and look better. I'm not sure if this would suit afro hair types as it's very light almost like water and perhaps creamier or firm hold products may work better. I would purchase this product again but when it's on offer, I feel £10.99 is bordering on expensive for a styling product! Also with the ingredients, I noticed alcohol is the second one on the list, which kind of did put me off, however it doesn't contain silicones or parabens. If any one knows an even more natural alternative you recommend please let me know!

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...

Uoga Uoga Mineral Makeup | Review and swatch

Image
I came across this brand on Instagram when it came up on my explorer page. Their make-up and packaging looks cute not to mention natural and pure! I have nearly finished my huge jar of Earthnicity Mineral foundation that I use on top of the Inika Liquid Foundation, so I thought I'd try another brand out. As I get shiny and most mineral foundations melt and disappear on me I was glad to see that Uoga Uoga Mineral foundation has Kaolin Clay in it to absorb oils and it also has Amber as one of the ingredients which is found in Lithuania and well known for.  Apparently Amber has regenerating and healing properties in it so its a bonus to have in the foundation. Mineral Powder - Amber Sand Uoga Uoga don't have a variety of shades and seem to have more lighter shades which I'm not surprised as I'm just guessing majority of Lithuanian customers have lighter skin tones however I managed to find my shade in 'Amber Sand' which is a medium warm shade with yell...
