Mario Badescu Brightening Kit & Facial Spray | Review

I've heard good things about Mario Badescu's skincare range and I thought the best way to try their products out was to buy a skincare regime kit where I can try a few products at the same time.

In this kit you get to 'CLEANSE, TONE, BRIGHTEN AND PERFECT' as it says on the box.

Step 1: Glyconic Foaming Cleanser
I love this product and its one I'd probably buy in full size. It's gentle yet does an amazing deep clean on the face. my skin feels refreshed, soft smooth and plump. I use this product 2/3 times a week. I should say that when the box came I thought the size of the products looked really small, but you really do not need to use alot of product and it does last a while. 

Step 2 : Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion 
I think this pairs really well with the cleanser and I use this in my evening regime. I would say I prefer the Liz Earle toner as that has witch hazel in it and I feel it helps keeps acne at bay better.

Step 3: Vitamin C Serum
This bottle will last ages, you only need a few drops, it blends into the face well leaving it looking glowy and plump. Skin feels like a new born baby's bum! 

2x week: Whitening Mask
This is one product I haven't used that often or twice a week as it says. Simply because I do not have the time. I'm not sure how I feel about this product, skin felt refreshed and clean, but I do prefer natural clay masks alot more for detoxing. I probably have to use this alot more to see it benefit any pigment or discolouration in my skin which it claims to help with.

I also got a little tub of Glycolic Skin Renewel Complex which looks like a lotion/moisturiser which I haven't tried yet.

Separately I purchased the facial spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green tea, it smells refreshing and amazing, I spritz it over my makeup or after a cleansed face. It's so gentle and the face doesn't feel dry with it.  

My Final Thought
Overall really impressed with the products. The Cleanser and Vitamin C serum have got to be my favourites. I will probably by those in full size and try out some other products too. The facial spray is excellent I bought the larger size and it will last me ages. I might try the rose one next time and see which I prefer.

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

Image
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.  ...
