Review | Bite Beauty 'Colour + Shine to go'

Bite Lipsticks (L-R) | Tannin, Cin Cin

Swatches (L-R) | Cin Cin, Tannin, Champaign Pearl (gloss)

Ever on the hunt to find some more local beauty treats over here in Canada, on a recent trip to Sephora I can across the brand Bite Beauty. A Toronto based cosmetics company that a pretty decent selections of lipsticks that are of great quality... and even healthy enough for you to eat!!! A rather edgy brand and I love how they are binding fashion and lips sticks together! For me, as you may know if you have checked out my 'Lipstickoration' posts, Lipstick is one of THE most expressive cosmetic and can make a dull dreary day into something a little different!

I was keen to try out a few products from this all-lipstick brand and fortunately I came across this little on-the-go bag of goodies! for $15 there was two min lip sticks and a lip gloss

On swatching the testers in store I fell in love with both colours, and the lipsticks are perfect for even the tiniest handbag!! The pigment in both lipsticks is pretty decent and the smell is temptingly delicious... it does not surprise me that these were made safe to eat as i'll be licking my lips all day when wearing these! I can't wait to be get some creative outfits that have been inspired by these shades too!!!

Keep your eyes peeled for this brand some more...

Review | Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil

Josie Maran | 100% Pure Argan Oil

15ml bottle with dropper $18/ £11.50

Okay.. First off I want to discuss the hot topic of argan oil

Todays Market seem to be saturated with argan oil products, from bottles costing $5 - $100+ but whats is all the fuss about and why do the products vary so much?

Argan oil ( also known as Natural Argania Spinosa Kernel oil) is a multi purpose wonder product that can be used to hair, face, nails, body.. you can even put it in that bath! Recently many products have come out that contain argan (including Moroccan oil) but recently there has been a bit of a back lash as these products contain lots of lots of fillers and non-water soluble sillocins. These silicones can build up in your hair if you use these products regularly and can be especially bad for curly hair! product that contain 100% Argan Oil are therefore seen as the most desirable, but this 'liquid gold' product can be pretty pricey to try and here is where Josie Maran comes in

The supermodel and business woman has created a line of skincare and cosmetics containing argan oil that are all organic and eco- friendly... Luxury with a conscience, as well as a reasonable price tag in my opinion.  

A 15ml bottle of 100% pure Argan oil is $18 (£11.50) a bargain compared to some other brands that contain the exact same ingredient! The product comes with a dropper and you only need a little amount as it goes a long way! for the past two weeks I have been using the oil on the ends of my hair (I have naturally frizzy/curly hair) and I have LOVED the results. My curls are sleeker and more defined. My end are sealed and have been splitting less. The product is very light and does not weigh down the hair and its always a plus that its an organic and made in an eco friendly environment too! 

I will defiantly be stalking up with the larger size bottle before my return to the UK this may and I have a feeling it's going to be a god send when the Summer heat hits ... or I go back to rainy, humid Scotland!!

Have any of you tried any other of her products?? 

Some of the facial creams smell amazing and could be next on my wish list!!

Thats all for now

Review | Lush Fresh Face Mask ' Love Lettuce'

'Love Lettuce' Fresh Face Mask

Its pamper time here in the Miss Sajja household and so I thought I would review another Lush Fresh face mask. My skin, for once, has been pretty well behaved and I was looking for a mask just to brighten up the skin a little and didn't want anything too heavy that would break me out so I went for one of the most popular face masks.... 'Love Lettuce'!! 

This face mask claims to exfoliate and nourish your skin to leave it 'bright, fresh skin that glows inside and out' well what more could you want!!

As always applying these masks are a joy in themselves as they need to be kept in the fridge so they are cool and refreshing. After leaving that mask on for 10mins or so I rinsed off the mask in the shower and   this was just as enjoyable as putting on the mask. You can really feel it exfoliating the skin, but in a gentler way than some face scrubs. Even after an hour my skin felt very soft and I didn't even really feel the need to apply any moisturiser after using the mask. Within the next few days my skin stayed notably softer although I didn't really see and 'brightening' of the skin... but hey, it is Winter in Canada!!

Love Lettuce is a face mask I have used before and I will continue to use again. It perfect for most all skin types... especially combination as it really balances out your skin... it gives it what it needs most and the best part is it has never lead me to break out so it's perfect to use before a special occasion to give your skin a wee boost... without the fear of spots!!

Its around the $7 mark here in Canada but you get at least 4-6 uses out of each tub so it is very good value for money! One down side though, is that this mask is often so popular that it is often sold out so a little tip would be to find out by one of the shop assistants when they get more in/ make up the pots, we always know that they are happy to help in Lush!! :D

Thats All for Now
