Kiko Milano : Gold Waves Bronzer



Hi everyone! I'm back again with a little review on a product I was totally blindsided by. (AND it's 50% off)

Usually this time of the year Kiko hold a massive sale - Limited Edition collections are normally heavily discounted. Which is pretty amazing because their packaging is always so luxe. Amongst other items, me and Mum picked up this Gold Waves Bronzer for her to use as a face powder. And let me tell you, we were pleasantly surprised by this understated beauty.

I had previously tried out Kiko bronzing powders from their main line in the past and always enjoyed them. But out of all the bronzers I tried from them, this one outperforms the rest. This gives the most natural sunkissed look which I hadn't really achieved by other bronzers. It revives my dull complexion and gives a great-looking effect. Seriously considering to buy a backup. (I NEVER do this) I have the shade '03' - 'Sienna Reflection.' 


The packaging is really elegant and sophisticated -  perfect as a display piece on your dressing table. It's also really huge - very economical 😋

I really hope you enjoyed my post - there's only so much one can say about a bronzer but hopefully I have all bases covered. If you need further information or want to see a photo of how this looks on me, then feel free to drop me a message on Instagram. 

Keep an eye out for more posts - I have many more in the works.

Love Tanji 💚

Huda Beauty : Rose Gold Remastered 


















Hi everyone! I am back this time with a highly requested review. Since I received this product, I have been flooded with messages about the performance of this product!



                                                                                F O R M U L A 









Let me just get this out of the way; because I know someone will ask me 😛 Surprisingly enough, I prefer this palette over Desert Dusk. I was definitely caught off guard by this 😲



There are both creams and mattes featured in this palette. All but 1 cream - 'Fling' and 1 matte -  'Risque' are lack lustre in comparison to all the other shades. The cream shadows are intensely pigmented without being glittery. They are a spongy/squishy-like texture best applied with the fingers. I don't recommend a brush. (However, I have seen some people using specific brushes to apply the creams - it's worth you-tubing) In addition, I would say some creams need a little warming up in the pan so they apply/swatch at full opacity.



The mattes are an absolute dream to work with,  minimal blending is required which is always great in my book 😉 But seriously, this formula is truly something extraordinary! The shadows stay put on my eyes all day (With + without) priming my eyelids. (A* Huda 😂)













                                                                                  P R I C I N G 



As far as the price goes, it's steep I know. Therefore, I would only suggest it to people who do not own these shades in their collection. If there is one aspect of Huda's beauty products I can really vouch for, it's her shade selection. She really knows how to create unique shadows with distinct formula's extremely well. If you want to invest in something special for your makeup collection, then I would surely say go for this because this baby is my Achilles heel 😊



Thank you for reading my post!



Much love,



Tanji

Products I Can't Live Without 
























Hi, Hello! I know, I know...I abandoned my blog but I am back this time for good 😊 This time, I am here to show you my 'Holy Grail' products which will always remain in my collection.







Eyes







The first two products I want to show you have been life-changing for me. And luckily they are also affordable. These are the Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen (£2) + the Super Precise Eyeliner (£2.30). I have been using these liners in conjunction with each other for over a year now and will continue to repurchase them over + over. (Yes! They're that good 😍 )



















I use the Superfine pen to line my eyes and use the Super Precise liner to create my wing. This is my technique to create a perfect wing and luckily using these amazing products help me achieve that goal. 







My favourite youtuber - Tati (GlamLifeGuru) also swears by Essence eyeliners. 







Face







For a natural glowy base, I love using the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer (£10.99) to create the illusion of an inner glow for my face. I would recommend this product for anyone to use, one of my friends has an oily skin type and she actually suggested for me (I have DRY skin) to try this out. 



















To perfect my skin tone and bring back colour to my face, I use the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Foundation (£10.99) in the shade 140 (Golden Beige) I have always preferred using a slightly darker foundation for a healthier look to my face. This foundation does oxidise, so I would suggest purchasing a lighter shade. If you like a natural, buildable and medium coverage finish foundation then this is for you. I usually customise the coverage depending if I want a 'full beat' 😋 or if I'm in a natural mood. 











Lips











The final product is the Dose of Colors lipstick (16$) in the shade 'More Creamer Please.' This was part of a collaboration with Desi Perkins + Katy (Lustrelux) Fortunately, this lipstick along with a few others are still available on the website. I really urge everyone to try at least one product from this range because everything was BOMB.  🎇 























On the DOC website it is describe as a 'Deeper nude with brown/peach undertone. ' On me, this definitely runs peachy so I like to use on the centre of my lips to create an ombre effect.







If you love a creamy lipstick with a satin finish then this lipstick fits the bill. I personally don't like using traditional lipsticks that are fully matte so when I tried this it was perfect. This is for sure the best lipstick formula I have ever tried - YOU NEED IT! If you want me to swatch this then please DM me on Instagram + I'll gladly send you a picture! 











 So that's it for my favourite products! 😉 I hope you enjoyed reading + please be sure to let me now if you end use any of the products listed above (or if you already do so) I tried keeping the post as short as I could because I have a tendency to ramble on (Oops) 







But until next time - Tanji 💛

Z I N G A R A x C O L O U R P O P 











Colourpop has been a brand that I have been lusting over for the longest time. However I strayed away due to a few reasons - namely their shipping, customs, duty and VAT costs. But when I noticed they had free worldwide shipping with no minimum for the shopping basket, I knew I had to place an order. (Which soon became multiple orders - but we'll talk about that another time haha) 



Today I will be discussing the Zingara collection by Colourpop which is a beautiful foursome of Super Shock Shadows. As soon as I saw the selection of shadows, I was feeling some serious Modern Renaissance vibes. (You'll see when I show you the photo's) 











What's included?


Colourpop kindly provide a cute little postcard in every package of theirs, which I think is such a sweet gesture.



They also proved a small booklet containing information about their products and the methods in which they are best applied. 


There are 4 shades in the collection - Paradox, Elixir, Seeker and Jinxie. Each Super Shock Shadow contains 2.1g of product. 



Here is a photo of the shadows.



















In this set, three of the shades (Paradox, Elixir and Seeker) are a matte formula. Whereas Jinxie is a satin. 



Paradox is a burgundy red shade, perfect when paired with Elixir a muted terracota to create a sunset-inspired look. Seeker is your typical nutmeg brown - an ideal crease colour for tan complexions. Lastly, Jinxie is a light-toned gold filled with just the right amount of sparkle. 



What I really enjoy about this formula is the silkiness of it. The shadows are soft, velvety and smooth to touch. They have no kick back when applying and also no fall out. (YAY) What's more, the shadows are comfortable on the eyes, don't lose pigment throughout the day or crease. (Atleast on me) 



Here are some swatches.











Pricing





Colourpop products are all inexpensive, which is of course a substantial factor when I am looking to purchase makeup. Their shadows - Super Shock and pigments alike are priced at $5 each.(£3.87/ 4.44€) The Zingara collection retails for $18.(£13.95/15.99€) 





Final thoughts





My first shopping experience with Colourpop and their products has been easygoing which clearly made the whole procedure enjoyable for me...because I ordered 7 more times after that haha. Tracking was provided, which reassured me a lot because I knew where my products where located and when I could expect to receive them. 





In regards to the Zingara collection, I feel like these group of shadows were tailor-made for myself. To me these selection of eye-shadow's are perfect for those who are hazel or green-eyed. The combination of this quad really serves to elicit the green and orange hues in my eyes which is what I look for in a shadow. 



All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase and I hope to order from Colourpop very soon. Thank you so much for visiting my post. 



Much love, 



Tanjima 💋
