REVEIW|HAIR CARE ♡

NOT YOUR MOTHERS!



My 3 favourite products from Not Your Mothers. 'Clean Freak' ($4.79) is a dry shampoo, it soaks up any oils and sweat you have left on your hair and makes your hair look clean when secretly you haven't washed it for 2 days! i know, we've all been there ;) Though its not a 'Holy Grail' dry shampoo for me it's one that i continue to repurchase, and the price is awesome! 

'Plump for Joy' ($5.99) This product is so lovely but you've gotta be willing to put in the time :( I'm someone who takes hair styling not to serious AKA i'm lazy and mastered the art of the 'top knot'! The way I tend to you it is, spray some in the palm of my hands then scrunch it through my freshly washed hair from root down to the very tip, i let it dry almost completely then i blow dry it! It's pretty simple but you have to watch out because if you use to much it can get super sticky and gross and its also pretty thick. If you use it sparingly, remember to distribute it all evenly and then blow dry, it gives you a beautiful shine, texture and makes your hair very voluminous! 

'Beach Babe' ( $5.99) is a texturing sea salt spray, i have natural waves and very fine hair but i also have a lot of long hair.. does that make any sense?! , however; after reading reviews this product is not so good for the people with thick hair :(, but if you have fine hair then your in luck today ;) This works best sprayed onto second, third day hair, it gives you natural looking waves that last giving you that 'i've been at the beach all day' kind of look. BUT and this is a big but i hate to say it's extremely drying so if thats okay with you then great just break out the conditioning mask and your good!

REVIEW | ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONTOUR KIT ♡

REVIEW | ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONTOUR KIT ♡

I'm probably the last person on the 'Anastasia Contour kit' train! To be honest the kit never really caught my attention like some of the other ones did, which is surprising seeing as this kit is everywhere! However during my recent trip to Sephora i decided to pick it up to see if it really is worth all the hype! 

  (Please Excuse the dirtiness of the product its had a lot of use, don't expect for this to stay pristine its going to get messy no matter what you do!)
    Top Row (left to right) : VANILLA , BANANA , SAND
    Bottom Row (left to right) :  JAVA , FAWN , HAVANA
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit retails at $40, pricey-YES! but you do get 6 good sized universal shades you can contour and highlight with. The colours are nicely pigmented and matte. I love the fact the pans are refillable so you can play around with the 6 shades see which ones you love and hate then customise to make your own perfect pallet. The refill shades are $14 each. 6x14=84 so $40 for the pallet is a pretty good price! 

PROS: 
  • Excellent Quality
  • Sleek Packaging
  • Refillable
  • Works well for fair, pasty skin like myself. 
CONS: 
  • Expensive, (Although it can be justified!)
  • If you have a heavy hand it can take quite a while to blend the contour colours out.
  • Doesn't come with a 'how to' guide it relies on self-education, however; there are SO many youtube tutorials for every skin type. 
  • Powdery! The dust gets everywhere!  

I 100% recommend this product i don't know why i didn't pick it up sooner. The price is worth it to me its a product i grab almost every day especially the Banana shade, its a beautiful and brightening under the eye perfect to set your under eye concealer! The Shade Fawn is perfect for my Contour being that im so fair skin its not muddy or orange like i find most contour colours for me. It really is a lovely product worth the money and a must for your makeup collection!
