Nirvana Rose Dry Shampoo Review: (added 5/10)

I was quite impressed! This fragrance with notes of Rose de Mai, Geranium, and Vetiver is lovely. The mist was fine, and left no weird white residue in my medium brunette hair. I wash my hair every other day, and the slight oil in my hair was eliminated by the product. It did also give some volume at the roots without feeling heavy which is great, as I don't like the feeling of a lot of product in my hair. The fragrance is subtle to moderate in strength, without being overpowering. I was excited to try the Nirvana Rose scent first, because I have not smelled it before. 

Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil, described as a luxurious, powerful yet delicate treatment oil for the face and neck. It has antioxidant and essential fatty acid rich oils to smooth, nourish and brighten the skin. Kora Organics is founded by Miranda Kerr.

Initial Review of the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil: (added 5/11)

Initial thoughts on the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil:

It has a sweet, yet pleasant fragrance I would describe as fruity/rose. The scent is quite strong and lingered on my skin for several hours after application. I have sensitive, combo skin with dry cheeks and an oily nose and forehead. On the box it says the oil is suitable for all skin types. My skin has not reacted or broken out, and the dryness in my cheeks already feels improved by the oil. Here is a photo of the ingredients for anyone curious about it. I will report back again in a few days as I continue to use the product.

The gift box was so beautifully presented, with everything individually wrapped, and even some chocolate! ❤

I will report back my thoughts as I try each product, and post swatches of the Nudestix pencils. 🙂

Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm in Pulse applied to both lips and cheeks. My favorite formula so far, love that it looks glossy on the lips without feeling sticky. I wil be reaching for this a lot in the Summer since it is so versatile. On the cheeks, it blends very easily and not much is needed. I just blended a few dots on each cheek. 🙂

@angel7594  Looks like a great color for you. 🙂  I'm amazed that it is glossy on your lips, but not on your cheeks.  Does it dry down at all?

[angel7594]

Thank you @Ispend2much6! ❤ It was a little dewy feeling on the cheeks and stayed that way after application. 

[Ispend2much6]

Thank you @angel7594.

[unfungirl]

[angel7594]

[Tamara76]

@angel7594,

I like this!  Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm in Pulse looks very good on you.  

I like sheer lip and cheek products.  🙂

[angel7594]

Thank you so much @tsavorite, @Titian06! ❤

[Titian06]

Pulse is a much more attractive color than I thought it would be based on the swatch @angel7594.  It looks good on you as both a lipstick and a blush.

Here is the Magnetic Matte Lip Color formula in Boho. This is budgeproof for sure, and sets really fast! I have a tiny bit of balm underneath. I like the color, it reminds me of all the grungy 90s browns I wore a lot of back in the day. 😄

@veronika23

[Titian06]

Wow!  Boho looks so good on you @angel7594!  Browns generally look terrible on me.  Maybe I'll give this a swatch anyway...you never know.

[veronika23]

Ohhh thanks @angel7594 🙂  I think I'm gonna like that one because I've been on the lookout for 90's browns 😄

Nudestix Lip + Cheek Pencil in Sin

I like this formula, very creamy finish and feels moisturizing on the lips.

Sorry for the side- ways photo, it looks right on my iPhone. 😄

[trishavt]

@angel7594 You look stunning in this shade!!! 🙂 

[angel7594]

Thank you! ❤

[fatimamummy]
