Schwarzkopf Igora Metallics - 4.29 ~ Review

So a couple of weeks ago I decided to ditch my white blonde hair for a darker fashion color.
I did some research and decided to go to a level 4 (medium brown) with a violet undertone.



I went to Haarshop and bought schwarzkopf igora metallics - 4.29 and the Igora volume 10 developer.
My base was a level 10 (very light blonde) and the advised base for this color was a 6 or darker. I decided to skip the step of going to a level 6 and just put the dye directly on my light blonde hair.

I mixed the dye with an 1:1 ratio with a volume 10 developer. Left it in my hair for 30 minutes, washed it out and finished with a hairmask.

This hairdye is so pigmented and gives such a nice result. The schwarzkopf igora series is definitely my go to hair dye for every shade.
My hair was still silky after the treatment.

Etude house precious mineral any cushion review


After hearing many bloggers rave about the Etude house BB cushion I decided to buy myself one!
I've bought the colour #N02 light beige since i'm quite pale on Ebay. The seller I bought from is Beautynetkorea, a very nice and trustworthy seller. 


First of all: the packaging is mighty adorable! The case is made from a very sturdy plastic in a beautiful pearly white colour with silver logo.
The lid which keeps the cushion from losing moisture is also good. It closes quite tight and opens easily.  
Because the packaging is so sturdy and  you can just throw it in your bag and leave the house!




Now on to the actual BB cream. 
Etude house has 6 main benefits they claim for this product: UV protection, wrinkle care, moisture-lock, sebum control, whitening and skintone correcting.
With a uv protection of 50pa++ it has an amazing protection without giving you a white face on photo's!

The BB cream itself is good quality and has a very nice natural coverage. It covers all my blemishes in such a way that you almost can't see them. My skin looks dewy and like I've had a good night worth of sleep. 

The moisturizing abilities of the BB cream are not bad but I definitely recommend to apply some sort of moisturizer before applying the BB cream. If you do that the BB cushion will lock in the moisture and keeps you looking great throughout the day. Because of the sebum control this BB cushion literally stays on all day without any mega oily areas (if you don't touch your face or sweat too much). 

Thanks to the special puff it applies very easily and gives even coverage. The puff doesn't soak up all your product (like most make-up sponges). 
It does what it claims in other words.
You can purchase this BB cushion on Ebay from Beautynetkorea.
Thank you for reading my first review! I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any tips for me please leave them in the comment section below.
