Since rediscovering eye shadow I've been wanting to try out more and more colours than usual. I choose the Emani Vegan Cosmetics Trio Eye Shadow in Tango to review from LoveLula.com, as the dark trio captured my eyes. All three shades blend really well together and have a lovely shimmer to them. Unfortunately, the shade that I was looking forward to trying out most doesn't look the same as it does when on. For me, the burgundy shade is a lot browner than you think it would be and I was hoping for a redder shade. It's not a favourite coloured shade but it does create a great dark look when all three of the shades are blended together.

Lavera Natural Q10 Concealer in Ivory 01 - Review*

Lavera is totally committed to bringing you the healthiest and safest, high quality, pure natural and organic products.

The pleasant formula of the Natural Concealer with Q10 active ingredient complex and carefully selected, high-quality organic ingredients such as organic liquorice root extract and organic shea butter hides under-eye shadows and redness. This makes you look fresher and more awake, while sensitive skin is moisturised to restore its natural elasticity. To hide under-eye shadows, apply the concealer in the inner corner of your eyes and under the eyes. Then blend in with your fingertips.

I've been on the hunt recently to find the perfect shade of concealer for my skin tone. I came across this Lavera Natural Q10 Concealer in Ivory 01 on LoveLula.com and thought I'd try it out for the underneath of my eyes. Unfortunately, Ivory 01 isn't really my shade as it makes my skin look very orange and patchy. I also can't seem to blend the product into my skin very well, but this may just be me not being able to blend very well in the first place. This concealer definitely hides any under-eye shadows but it's a little tricky to get it to look natural due to it being the wrong shade for my skin. Here's hoping that I find the perfect match to my skin tone soon!

Organically Epic Adult Charcoal Infused Bamboo Firm Toothbrush - Review*

 Organically Epic is a multi-award-winning women-owned, British dental brand. Fusing dental efficacy with sustainability - Organically Epic is helping reduce dental waste whilst also taking care of your pearls. They have taken the term sustainable very seriously. Their bamboo is certified by the FSC and they make sure all their materials and products are compostable where possible, recyclable, and Vegan. They are also approved under PETA's beauty without Bunnies campaign. Charcoal features heavily in their collection due to its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities, not to mention its natural brightening effect on the teeth.

Organic and Natural Dental has always been a love and passion of Jayne's so it was only natural that Organically Epic would launch their own toothbrushes, shortly be followed by other dental products. We are a small business with big dreams.

Over the years I've tried many different bamboo toothbrushes to swap my plastic ones with but unfortunately, I've never got on with them. Having not tried one for about a year I decided to give them another chance. I ended up coming across this newly stocked Organically Epic Adult Charcoal Infused Bamboo Firm Toothbrush from LoveLula.com. As much as I want to, I just can't seem to get on with any bamboo toothbrushes. And unfortunately, this one has the same fate as the rest. What annoys me the most is that bamboo toothbrushes are SO environmentally friendly compared to plastic ones. The reason I can't get on with them is that I really dislike the texture of the bamboo in my mouth. The head on this toothbrush is bigger than any other bamboo toothbrushes that I've tried and sadly it felt too big for my little mouth. I did feel that the brush gave my teeth a really good clean despite being too big though. So after trying yet another bamboo toothbrush, I'm sadly still in a love-hate relationship with them.

A light gel textured eyeshadow base that helps keep eyeshadow in place all day long!

I'm not an avid eye shadow user, but when I do use it I'd rather it didn't crease towards the end of my day or evening leaving my look a little worse for wear. That's where Lavera's Eye Shadow Base from LoveLula.com comes in handy. I've never used an eye shadow base before, so when I applied the product to my eyelids they did feel a little sticky afterwards. Not long after, I realised that the product had soaked in nicely. With the Eye Shadow Base on my eyelids, I am also able to create a darker look with any eyeshaow due to the moisture from the gel. The eyeshadow seemed to stay in place longer than usual and is a great way to elongate your look.

Lavera Organic Eye Make-Up Remover - Review*

The core of Lavera’s philosophy can be found in its name: which literally means ‘the truth’, which is the founding principle of the company and the cosmetics they produce. Lavera is totally committed to bringing you the healthiest and safest, high quality, pure natural and organic products. They are proud to be certified organic by NATRUE and have over 100 products certified vegan by the Vegan Society. All lavera products are free from animal testing.

Lavera is committed to making sure that you and your family are safe from potentially harmful ingredients by providing you with effective and chemical-free options with wholesome values.

The soft and gentle Lavera Eye Make-Up Remover carefully removes eye make-up from the delicate and sensitive skin around the eyes and lashes. It has been developed using the best organic and natural ingredients nature has to offer and has been specially formulated with skin caring organic Aloe Vera and organic Sea Buckthorn which is particularly suitable for sensitive skin. The Lavera Organic Eye Make-Up Remover has also been tested by dermatologists and ophthalmologists.

In need of a replacement for my current running out eye make-up remover, I decided to try out this Lavera Organic Eye Make-Up Remover from LoveLula.com. The product itself smells lovely and it comes in a good sized bottle. I found it removes my eye make-up well (even waterproof mascara), meaning it doesn't take me long to remove a full eye of eye make-up. The only downside is that if you use a lot of the product and do accidentally get it directly in your eyes it does sting. Other than that I really like this eye make-up remover from Lavera and I will continue to use it in the future.
