Milani Color statement lipstick review. Teddy Bare and Plum rose

My new favourite Nude! Yay!

I cannot say how much i love these lipsticks. They are fabulous. The Milani Teddy Bare is great if you have dark lips like me and want a brown nude with just hint of pink. It is extremely hard to find in a lipstick and i'm always having to mix and match when i want something i can just drag across my lips in one fell swoop!

 I also picked up the plumrose shade. Again a great pink for darker skintones. I wear both regularly and have done so for weeks. Teddy Bare is my everyday lipstick.

They smell like in the words of Beyonce "watermelon", they smell exactly like jolly ranchers( which no longer exist in the UK) or any other watermelon scented sweet. They are very creamy and don't dry out your lips.

Per the Milani site the shades come in Pearl, matte, shimmer, vinyl, metallic and cream.

The only con? They are not readily available. I bought these at an Afro hair shop or BSS as they are known called Juliets in Peckham. I don't even know if they sell them anywhere else! They also came with the whole behind the counter testers, no testers for certain products, personal space being invaded that happens at so many of these stores. Come on Milani get it together! Roll out your new products in ALL Afro hair shops and have some sort of directive on how they are displayed and sold!

Anyway they cost £3.99 each and i will buy LOADS.

Shea Butter Cottage Mungala and Pasuca Soap Review







I bought the soaps below  for my neices who have eczema and very dry skin and for my sister. (Well not for her but she uses them anyway)


Mungala Black Soap

Pasuca Black Soap


I haven't used them but i will paraphrase her answers to me.

They're big bars of soap (Bang for your buck!)
All natural ( Yeah babay!)
Unlike commercial soap you don't get that weird film you get in the bathtub ( yeah, what is that? Soap Mucus)
Unlike commercial soaps they do not dry out your skin (Fantastic!)

She loves em! If you're looking for natural soaps, that don't irritate and dry out your skin check them out, amongst the treasure troves of goodies at
