Niyama Lip Glaze



I bought two of these lip glazes – One in Rosebud (On the left in the pic) and the other in Naturally Nude. The Rosebud one looks like a deep red in the tube, but goes on quite sheer. It contains cocoa butter, so there’s a subtle scent of cocoa butter, nothing too strong. The colour is sheer, and pretty. It doesn’t look or feel like lip gloss, but more like a tinted lip balm. It’s not bad, but the colour could be deeper. 

The Naturally Nude has no colour, and feels a bit thin on my lips, as though I need to apply more of it. I like my lip balms to be thicker on my lips.

The packaging is adorable, I really like the look of it. I don’t know if I’d repurchase since I didn’t really like the Naturally Nude one, but I’d consider buying the Rosebud one again.

Crazy Rumors Lip Balms

Crazy Rumors is a lip balm, and their lip balms are natural and vegan, which I love. I’ve tried two lip balms from Crazy Rumors: Peppermint Twist, and Cola (Which is pictured here). I love the scents these lip balms come in! The Cola one smells like those candy cola bottles you can get, and the Peppermint one smells just like the name: Peppermint! The lip balms themselves are very moisturising, and they glide easily across my lips. I love the packaging, the whole retro feel of the tube is very cool. I'd definitely buy them again.

Pixi Rose Lip Treat



I bought this cute lip tint in Lip Petal, from Pixi, a company I haven’t tried before. In the picture I’ve posted, it looks like a peach colour, but on my lips, it’s a sheer pink shade. It feels moisturising on my lips, and I like how it’s a sheer colour, meaning I can put it on without using a mirror if needs be. I really like the tube it comes in – I think the rose pattern on it is very sweet (I'm a sucker for pretty packaging!). To me, there is no scent to it.
I’ll definitely be repurchasing this one!

Burt’s Bees Radiance Day Cream with 15 SPF

(Sorry I haven’t been posting lately – I’ve been sick :( )

I have been wanting a good day cream with sun screen that is a little more natural that some of the ones out there. I gave this Burt’s Bees one a go, and it’s not bad. It comes in a pretty bottle, which looks nice on the vanity. The cream itself feels nice on the skin, not too heavy, but still moisturising enough for me. It does have a whitish tint, but since I wear foundation/tinted moisturiser on top, this isn’t a problem for me. The only thing about this cream I don’t like is the smells. It’s not an unpleasant smell, but it tends to linger for awhile after you put it on, and I’m not overly keen on that. However, since it does have sunscreen, I will keep on using, but I might try some other day creams with sunscreen and compare.

Shizen Lip Tint

This tint is really pretty! I got it in the shade “Pinkie”, and it looks like a sheer, candy pink colour on me. I really like that it’s both moisturising and adds colour to my lips. It comes in a tall, thin grey tube, which looks quite stylish. It smells kind of like lemons to me, not unpleasant, but I don’t love it either.

I love the colour of this tint, it really pops and looks very pretty. Some tints I find are too sheer for me, but this one is quite bright and looks good. But at the same time, it doesn’t feel like a tint, instead more like a lip balm to me – That’s great, since some tinted lip balms can be very drying. Overall, I think it’s a good product, and one I’ll probably buy again.

John Masters Organic Lip Calm

I purchased this lip balm, after hearing good things about it, and I’m happy to say it lives up to the hype. The scent is a lovely citrus smell, and the lip balm itself is smooth and easy to apply. When I get dry lips, this balm is very moisturising and makes them feel better once more.The packaging itself is quite plain, and there’s no colour or tint the balm, which is fine by me.

Overall, I really like this balm, it’s one I would buy again as I love the smell of it, and find that it actually moisturizes my lips!
