Origins Ginzing Brightening Mascara | Review

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 faint lashes this mascara would be really good. Its a good everyday mascara, I use it for work, probably not when I go out as it does nothing glamorous. Overall it was interesting to try but not the best of mascaras for my type of lashes or what I was looking for. Another thing I should mention is I have long lashes on my bottom lash line that touch the area where my dark eyebags are, so during the day I do get it melting or depositing some black marks under the eye area which is annoying so I have to check on that everytime I go to the ladies! I have used other mascaras that have performed better on my lashes and given me the 'Wow' factor, so for an everyday mascara its good but not a 'wow' on me. I've tried it now, but I don't think I would be purchasing this again in the future.

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

My Foundation matches for NC40 Equivelent | Shade Match

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% Pur

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
