'Too Faced' Tinted Beauty Balm Review!

Too-Faced-Tinted-Beauty-Balm £24.50 Hellooo lovely ladies ! and maybe some gent's! today I'm doing a another review of a new addition to my 'Brown Girl's' beauty find's.  This is the latest BB cream purchased, which I'm really excited about and couldn't wait to share with you all.... The sun was shinning over the weekend and it made me feel like we are slowly creeping towards spring and needing  a bit of colour on our winter skin... Ohh la! la!! So this is my very 1st product review for the brand 'Too Faced'!  and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this Beauty Balm!  I ha d been eyeing this and the 'Smashbox BB Cream' at the larger Boot's store for a while and had tried  both on my face in store and actually liked the feel and consistency of the 'Too Faced' Beauty Balm as I found that the Smashbox BB Cream gave a more flat finish where as this gave a more natural luminous...

What's on your lips?

Do you always know what your wearing on your lips? or do you just know the name of the brand & shade? With Red lipsticks being very popular at the moment and me trying to find my perfect shade of red I found out a few more things then I had anticipated.... Well this may not be news to some people as it was to me but it really did shock me to find out that nearly 50% of all lipsticks manufactured in the US contains pig fat to give the shiny appearance!  I always thought to myself that in this day and age where there are so many synthetic & vegetarian alternative's cosmetic companies wouldn't still be using animal derived ingredients but I was very disappointed by what I found. The very brief summary below shows a list's all the animal, fish, insect derived ingredients which are used routinely in majority of lipsticks here in the UK. Names of animal derived ingredients. Wax (usually beeswax)  provides the solid shape of the lipstick. Glycerine (usuall...

Dr Hauschka's Daily Face Care Review

Most people will tell you that the foundation to great skin is to find the best skin care routine that suits your skin type and to stick to it religiously and they wouldn't be wrong...  But usually finding the right skincare product that suits you is the first hurdle and if you have difficult temperamental skin then it can be a nightmare and cost a fortune at the same time..... In my search for that elusive hero skincare regime I had heard and read of a range called 'Dr Hauschka's' but never got around to trying out until very recently.  This is my product review of the 'Daily Face Care' kit that I have been using.... All products within this kit have been tried and tested on myself for the last 7 days. One of the main reasons I went for this particular range of products is that I liked their holistic and natural approach to skin care.  I find that as I'm getting older I am a lot more selective about what I'm putting on my skin a...

My top 5 Tinted Moisturiser/BB Creams

    Its funny how so many Magazines and Beauty Counter MUA's at Department store's will tell you that during winter you need to wear a foundation rather then a Tinted Moisturiser or BB Cream.  I would say that is completely untrue and everyone is different when it comes to their own skin care... I have spent more then a few days at b eauty counters being pushed and cajoled into making pricey purchases on f oundations that I don't need or want so here I have decided that I will gi ve a run down of alternatives to Foundations for everyday use. M ost will say that Foundations  give you choice of a more matt or no glow base which is more suited to the winter look as the Summer look is more suited to the natural and glowy skin... This is true to a certain point as most Foundation ranges do offer you the choice of Matt, Luminous or Natural Glow finish which Tinted Moisturiser's and BB Cream's do n' t . O n this occas ion I'm sitting on the wall ...
