EX1 Delete Fluide Concealer | Review and swatch

The EX1 fluide concealer has recently launched and I decided to pick that up with the foundation. I brought the EX1 Invisiwear Foundation in shade 7.0 which was formerly shade F300 and the EX1 Fluid Concealer in shade 6.0.

EX1 Invisiwear Foundation shade 7.0
I have done a review on the foundation previously in more detail which can be found HERE.
For a short summary about this foundation I will say that it does feel lightweight, and now that I own a few foundations I can say that looking back now that this wasn't the most strongest yellow/golden pigmented foundation I own. When it's swatched it does look warm but more neutral than yellow/golden such as Maybelline Fit Me in 220 or Mac Studio Fix NC40 in comparison. Even though it's not that yellow/golden as they range suggests it, it works well and has a rich pigmented formula in the foundation to adapt to your skintone perfectly. I don't know if they have changed the formula since I owned the last bottle in F300, but I can say it still feels really light on the skin, breathable, gives a lovely natural luminous finish and blends really well when applying. I can say that it isn't as long lasting as other foundations I have, it does settle into the fine lines (my laughter lines) but nothing too drastically bad as I can just blend it out. I do find this foundation does oxidise a tad bit, but not orange just alittle darker which I don't mind. The shade 7.0 matches me pretty well, I'd say its just probably half a shade darker but no one would notice but me. When it does oxidise I do look alittle bit tanner, but don't mind. I'm not sure if I would be the shade down in 6.0 as when I swatched it in boots I felt it was less warmer than 7.0 and could look ashy near my chin or forehead area.

EX1 Fluid Concealer shade 6.0
I brought a shade lighter in the concealer, and it is a lovely yellow/golden toned medium shade as you can see swatched below, it is more yellow than the foundation I own. I feel that I could of gotten a shade lighter as 6.0 is an exact match in the concealer for me and where it conceals perfectly it is not brightening as its the same colour as my skin, so I do prefer lighter concealers, but that's just my personal preference. The consistency is alot more creamier and thicker than the foundation so obviously to stay put and not move around.
The packaging is so practical for a concealer it comes in a smooth pump that works well. Its travel friendly which is perfect, it's light and easy to use, and no chance of breaking.

My final thought
Overall I'd say its a good concealer on a budget. I felt it concealed well however not that long lasting under my eyebags and by the end of the working day I can start to see the 5pm dark shadows under my eyes start showing. Nothing too bad but probably enough for a touch up. However I don't do touch ups during the day so would rather have a concealer that stays put. Overall it's an good product to own if your on a budget as concealers in drugstores do not always cater for warmer skintones. I think if your dark circles are not too bad then this concealer is probably going to be great for you, it does leave a smooth base. If I used a colour corrector underneath then I think this would work really well as my eyebags are getting worse! I have only used this a few times so I will use it some more and see how I feel about it.  So far I can say it doesn't feel heavy even though the consistency is creamy.  I do feel the concealer and foundation are pretty much the same shade level but in a different tone, perhaps if I got shade 5.0 in the concealer it would work better for me in terms of brightness. Overall I'm quite happy with the concealer, the shade is perfect for asian or golden/yellow skintones.

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...

EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation & EX1 Delete Concealer Review and Swatches

EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation This brand is fairly new and was founded by Farah Naz. Like many asians its hard to find foundations that match your skin tone perfectly. Some are too pink toned, high street brand only go upto a certain shade which doesn't cater for asian complexions or you find a shade but the brand is too expensive! Farah Naz has brought out a range specifically for olive skin tones. When she says olive, it means its suitable for Middle Eastern, Asian, South American or Mediterranean skintones. Shade: I came across EX1 Costmetics on twitter, Faryal Makhdoom posted a picture of some of the products and it intrigued me to visit their website. I read somewhere that they now have the brand in Topshop in Oxford Street so I went and purchased the shade F300. I did swatch the F200 in store but I think thats more of an NC 25-30 shade. F300 is perfect for NC35-40 skintone which is me. NC40 or NC42 onwards is probably the F400. F400 is a medium-tan colour.  ...
