Inika Liquid Mineral Foundation
Inika Liquid Mineral Foundation in Honey (sample size)
I won this foundation a few months back through a Twitter competition and like a bad blogger, I've not written my review on this yet! I review their lip gloss a little while back here and really liked it so I was hoping I'd love this product as much.
This foundation is said to blur the lines between moisturiser and foundation by hydrating and nourishing the skin whilst providing a flawless and radiant finish that lasts all day. So how did I get on?
Well, it smells of tea. This isn't necessarily a bad thing if you like the smell of tea, I'm not entierley keen so the idea of putting something the smells of tea all over my face wasn't that appealing. However, I did and it is a really nice product.
The colour match wasn't fantastic, but then I won it through a Twitter competition so what can you expect. The foundation itself is quite watery, which is a bit weird, but it applies really nicely and is really moisturising. In terms of staying power I wouldn't say it stayed longer than other foundations without a primer.
Like I said, it's a nice foundation and I think if it was the right colour it would be more than a nice foundation. However, for a full size product is it £25.55 and that's just a little bit too steep for me to purchase so I'm just going to enjoy my little sample which I can!
What do you think of Inika products? Have you tried their foundation?

Inika Lip Whip
I was very excited for my May She Said Beauty Box as I LOVED the April one and I have not been disappointed.
This is the first review of one of the gorgeous products in this Month's box...

I was quite excited it was the Inika lip gloss in this months box and, if I'm honest, I was really hoping for it in 'Melon' or 'Berry', so when I got the 'Apricot' version I was slightly disappointed at first.
Then I put it on. Normally I do go for pinker shades as I feel these colours like 'Apricot' are too goldy and brown for me, however I feel in love with this product and the colour as soon as I put it on.
It glides on really easily, and I'm not usually a fan of the squeezy tube gloss, and it doesn't feel stupidly stick like gloss usually does. It stayed on for a good couple of hours. It really hydrated my lips and made them feel plumb. I usually have a problem with dry lips so this was perfect.
Would definitely recommend this product, I'm not sure if I would pay £14.30 for a lip gloss, but I really did love this product and if I'm honest I probably would buy it after I've finished this one.
I would definitely LOVE to try the other colours 'Berry', 'Melon' and 'Peach'.
Also, please excuse the apparently hairiness of my bottom lip - never noticed it until this picture!
