Get the Natural Look!

Advantages: Not expensive
Disadvantages: None really

...Natural Collection Colour Foundation **WHAT IT DOES** It is a foundation, which will cover up blemishes and even out your skin tone. It is a medium cover foundation and won't cake up your skin like some foundations do. It is suitable for normal and combination skin. **PACKAGING** It comes in a small plastic tube, which is see-through, and on the front there is the Natural Collection logo with what looks like a daisy in the middle. It also tells you that it is a colour foundation. On the back in brown writing there is a brief description on the product and it tells you the ingredients. The lid is see-through and very durable, it could withstand being knocked around in a bag or being dropped. It has a click open and close lid and you have to squeeze the tube to get the foundation out. **INGREDIENTS** Here is a list...

Review of Natural Collection Colour Foundation

Easy natural colour

Advantages: Only one coat needed, big bottle
Disadvantages: Starts to peel after a few days

...I generally prefer to use neutral nail colours during the day for a subtle but neat look at work. After having tried numerous peachy coloured nail varnishes in the past I feel I have finally found one I think I will stick with. I first bought this No.7 nail colour when I got a £5 voucher for any No7 products at Boots. The nail varnish was £6.25 which meant I got it for a bargain. The packaging is subtle and classy which I liked. The colour I chose was Nougat, which is a peachy natural colour. My Experience The nail varnish was very easy to apply. The nail varnish has quite a thick quality, but still sweeps easily onto the nail. Because it is thick it means the colour becomes obvious straight away, which I was pleased with after having tried nail varnishes which required about 5coats for the colour to show! Because...

Review of Boots No.7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour

Nice natural colours, easy to use, and great for first timers!

Advantages: Natural range of colours, easy to apply, good for those not sure of dying
Disadvantages: Richness fades quite fast, smells quite sweet til you wash it 2nd time :P

...Well I had never dyed my hair myself ever before, and I had an impulsive moment one day whilst shopping - I decided I wanted to! Mum being a hairdresser (but with not a lot of time on her hands) I've always known a lot about the science of dying hair etc etc, so if you're not sure about it, a good tip for starters is to make absolute sure the shade you're picking is NOT too dark for you! It may look nice on the packaging but dependant on what your natural/previous hair dyed colour is, will depend on the end result! Anyways, I picked the Iced Latte shade, as it is extremely close to my natural shade anyways, except maybe with a few more tones of red (which I liked!). I had highlights before, so I wanted to start anew. The dye was extremely easy to prepare, and wasn't messy whatsoever. The instructions were very clear, and I found it...

Review of L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

Natural, Non-Elvis Colour

Advantages: Very easy to apply, doesn't dye facial hair
Disadvantages: Very overpowering smell, that bloody sachet

...It’s that hair dying time of the month again, and my roots are bigger than me. Usually, I’m a L’oreal gal - the one in the old-fashioned brown box – and I’m not averse to ‘Feria’ or ‘Live’, both of which give your hair an amazing vibrancy and shine. L’oreal’s my dye of choice because it doesn’t fade, you get a whole months supply of that brilliant conditioner and it comes with thin rubber gloves rather than those useless, shapeless bits of plastic that let all the dye in anyway. But ‘Belle Color’ was the only one left at the chemist in black, so after some dejection, sighing and slinking off to the till dragging my feet, I bought it anyway. It’s a non-drip hair dye, that works with your hair’s own natural highlights for a more natural look...

Review of Garnier Belle Color Permanent Color

Colour at half the price

Advantages: price, easy to use, gloves & conditioner
Disadvantages: only available in boots!

...I am unfortunate enough to have to colour my hair regularly to cover up my very grey roots. In the past I have spent money in hairdressers to have this done, or to save money reluctantly coloured it at home myself. I used to use movida hair colour regularly but found they tend to be one of the more expensive brands. So over the last few months I've sampled a few of the top brands determined by which was on offer in my supermarket at the time. I've found that they are all much the same. Recently, I had to buy a colour from Boots as I'd left it until the last minute before a big night out and didn't have time to go to the supermarket. I went in expecting to buy Movida or one of the other big brands. While scanning the shelves I spotted Boots Colour. To be honest the packaging looked like something out of the seventies, but I was...

Review of Boots Simply Natural Hair Colour

Boots Natural Collection Colour Base

Advantages: Lasts the whole day, easily blended, covers well
Disadvantages: Not enough shades

...I was looking for a new foundation, having gotten bored of the pricey No.7 Intelligent Color, and I happened to walk past the Natural Collection make-up section on the way to my trusty 17 and Rimmel, and decided to look at the foundations, as I recalled hearing quite good things about them! There were loads available: green ones to even out redness, pink ones to balance out grey complexions, mattifying ones, and a few others. I settled on the normal Colour Base, and thought I'd test them out, but the colours were so disorganised and there was no product in any of the testers! The shades are named stupid things like Hazy Beige and Oyster, so it's impossible to gauge which shade you are without testing first. I quickly tested one on the back of my hand that looked about right (Hazy Beige) and went to pay for it. It was just £4, so I...

Review of Boots Natural Collection

Expanse of Colour

Advantages: Very relaxing
Disadvantages: None

...Expanse of Colour is another CD in the "ambient sounds of nature" series. There seems to be a minor error in the Ciao catalogue. It lists the artistes involved in the "ambient sounds of nature" series as being "various artists." The credits on the CDs in my collection show that the composer and performer on the CDs is Levantis. The tracks on this CD are: Past, The Womb of Mother Earth, Expanse of Colour (the title track of this CD) Density of Life, Preservation and Future. As with the other CDs in the series, Levantis takes some sounds from nature (ambient sounds) such as singing birds, crickets, and blends them into a perfect with some rather gorgeous and lush music. Unlike some of the so-called relaxing CDs that are on the market which rely on rather weedy electro-pap music created on ill-tuned synthesisers, the music...

Review of Ambient Sounds Of Nature Vol.3 (Expanse Of Colour) - Various Artists

Look Natural not TANGOED the Belle colour way

Advantages: Easy to use, exceleent results
Disadvantages: NONE

...How often have you coloured your own hair only to find the result is embarrassing? I was fed up of my own natural colour but tired of looking washed out. I wanted to lighten it slightly without going some hideous orange colour. I was at the point of giving up and looking washed out forever. Then I found Belle Colour. The colour change is the closest I have found to the stated colour on the packet. No more orange, I don?t look like I?ve just been Tangoed anymore, just the light to mid brown with a golden hue. For a natural look you can?t beat Belle Colour, the way it colours leaves my hair looking so natural. It?s not a solid block of colour that looks so unnatural; there?s a depth to the colour and different hues and tones, just as you find with your natural hair colouring. Belle colour leaves the hair feeling soft, silky...

Review of Natural Collection Colour Foundation

natural looking hair colour

Advantages: good colour range
Disadvantages: its messy if you do it yourself

...Having spent years dying my hair I must admit that this is one of the best colourants that I have used. It gives you natural looking hair that shines with health - ok so I sound like the advertising blurb on the box but this one does actually do as it says. I can only give an opinion on the darker shades eg mahogany and a plum so I would not like to say that it works for all shades in the range. Its easy and fast to use with the usual instruction leaflet inside> My only bug bear is the thin plastic gloves but thats the same in all hair colurants. Well worth ago...
