Review: e.l.f. Pressed Powder

Hello!

This is my first review post on one product. I'll tell you a little bit about the product, its pros and cons and whether I'd recommend it. So I'm going to be reviewing e.l.f. Pressed Powder. I've had it for quite a long time, that's why I used up quite a lot of it. I'm trying to use it up, but I don't really reach for it very often. I have it in a shade Sand, which is my summer shade or I can use it lightely in winter, but I would usually go for Porcelain. Price: 3$



Pros: It's not very sheer, has a medium coverage and staying power is okay. The texture is quite butter-y and smooth.

Cons: Looks a little bit cake-y and unnatural. In addition, there is a HUGE fallout when you're picking it up with a brush. It's not finely mild. Colour selection is not big (5 shades available).



 Overall, it's very affordable powder, but I wouldn't really recommend it. There are better powders for this price or a tiny bit more (such as Rimmel Stay Matte), especially bearing in mind the fallout, which makes you use the product a lot quicker. 

So this is just my opinion as I wouldn't buy this powder again, but comment down below if you've tried this powder and tell everyone what you think!

Bye!

Hair Miracles

Hello everyone!

Today I decided to show you some of my favourite hair serums. So I'll tell you a little bit about each of them and maybe you'd be interested in trying them out!

So the first serum is this REVIline Strengthening Serum. As you can see I've almost used up all of it. I actually bought this at my hair salon so I'm not sure if you can get it everywhere, but there are online shops where you can order it such as http://www.reviline.co.uk/hair-care/207-revigloss-80ml.html. But this is one of the best hair products EVER. This particulary helps for split ends. It says on the packaging that it's a crystal liquid and a revitalizing product for dry and brittle hair, preventing split ends. Overall, it really makes my hair look healthier and I feel like it helps my hair for long-term. Price: 9£ for 80ml.
The packaging is quite cheap as the lid already broke, but the product kind of smells like a caramel pie haha. However, it doesn't leave that scent on your hair.



The next one is this CHI hair serum. I only ordered this mini one to try out, but I really like it now so I'll probably buy the full size soon (or I'll try other CHI hair serums). It doesn't help with split ends as much as the Reviline one, but it makes your hair healthy looking as well. It's hard to explain and it might sound like a nonsense, but I feel like this makes my hair look thicker haha. This is a little pricier than the REVIline one, might be because CHI is a well known brand. It smells exactly like a hair serum should smell haha (very nice, but not natural scent). Costs about 12£ for 60ml.






Both of them help with both dry or tangly hair, but each is better at one thing if that makes sense haha. But I'd recommend the REVIline one for dry and prone to split ends hair and CHI serum for tangly hair owners, if you want them to be smoother.


So I really hope this post helped someone. If I forgot to mention something and you have any questions about hair serums or anything in general, feel free to ask in the comments!

 

See you!
