Nyx 'Soft Matte Lip Cream' Review

If you look through my lipstick stash, you'd notice that I own a LOT of burgundy/dark berry shades. This is because I spent a lot of time (and money) looking for the perfect one. It took a while, but I found it. And that was Nyx's Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen.

This product is perfect for me. The colour suits my skin tone perfectly and is the perfect dark red that isn't too vampy, but just the right amount of sexy, dark and dramatic. Aside from the colour, there are many reasons to love this product. The reasons that led me to buy 3 other shades as well. The other 3 I have are Monte Carlo, which is your standard, bright red lip, Transylvania, a deep berry/merlot colour and San Paulo, a peachy/coral pink.

The lasting power is great. It lasts for a long time without fading so you wont be constantly reapplying. Contrary to most matte lip products, it doesn't dry out your lips and it also doesn't cling to every little dry patch on your lips. So you can just pop it on without worrying about having to bust out the lip scrub.

It smells/tastes super nice (not that you're eating it, but its always a nice bonus).

It's a really great product and I intend to buy more in 2016.

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm: For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps: Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish: Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it. Pros: Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier. Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
