Kiko Free Soul Highlighter | Review and swatches




I don't own a lot of highlighters..I have been using up my Laura Gellar highlighters I got in a limited edition set and the shade that I used the most has hit pan. I wanted a gold highlighter and as Kiko is so affordable I decided to get one from there. Kiko has a limited edition collection out called Free Soul which has lovely light green packaging and products in cute compact sizes that are great for travelling.

I literally got talked into the highlighter and I'm glad I got it. The assistant in the shop had it on, and she was of a deeper complexion and it looked stunning on her. This highlighter has three shades that you can use each of or swipe all three to get a lovely shade. This is so convenient in having 4 shades literally in a small compact and it 's a bargain at £12.90! 

The shades are really pigmented, my pics below are taken with one swipe. The shades are not metallic looking, they are illuminating which I prefer as it looks more natural and sheeny.

I would recommend this if your new to highlighters or want a few colours to try out. The shades range from a champagne gold, a bronze and a pink toned shade. if you mix all three you get  a beautiful warm peachy skin like natural looking shade. All shades look warm toned and would really compliment warmer complexions.

My Final Thought
Whilst publishing this post I just realised you can make so many combinations of shades by swiping which ever two shades you want so it's even better as you can use so many different shade combinations and use it as an eyeshadow, inner corner eye highlight, brown bone, cheekbones etc. So impressed with Kiko :)

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

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
