Elysambre Nail Polish Reviews
By Catherine Geiger
Packaging: Elysambre Nail Polish is packaged in a 5ml glass bottle with a nice small brush built into the lid for easy application.
Application: A nice smooth varnish which glides on easily and only needs two coats to give good, solid looking coverage. It seemed to dry very fast too, certainly less than a minute so didn’t take long to apply.
Ingredients: Ingredients vary dependant on which colour you use – the Elysambre Products do contain some ingredients of synthetic origin but are paraben-free, toluene-free, formolin-free and rosin-free. All ingredients are cruelty free.
Results: With Christmas coming up I guess I should make the effort and take the time to paint my nails! A job I usually only leave for special occasions as I can’t bear the thought of having chipped varnish which is so often the case after just a few hours. However I was pleasantly surprised with the results with this product, after 4 days my nails are still looking good so it proved itself to be pretty and durable! A great natural alternative for beautiful nails.
Pros:
Good solid coverage
Nice brush giving easy application
Long lasting
Well priced
Good range of colours
Cons:
Still has the horrible nail varnish smell that the non-natural ones have!

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation Reviews
By Anisa B.
Packaging: Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation comes in a 40ml plastic sifter jar. There is 10g of product in there, enough for 4-6 months I would say. There is a sifter like other mineral foundations.
Lily Lolo foundation is a loose mineral foundation, it isn’t dry and powdery in terms of how it feels, and it’s soft and slightly creamy almost. There is no smell or anything unusual about it.
Lily Lolo says:
“Award winning light foundation is free from harsh chemicals, nano particles, parabens, bismuth oxychloride, talc, synthetic dyes, fillers, fragrance and preservatives.” There are no ingredients in here that would cause irritation to sensitive skin, and the ingredients are all vegan/vegetarian in every Lily Lolo mineral Foundation Products.
Result:. The coverage is excellent, you can build it up really well and it still manages to look natural and not powdery and dry. It has good lasting power and wears up to 8 hours or so without fading. Overall, a good natural foundation that has good lasting power.
The pros of this foundation are:
Good coverage
Various shades available
Not dry or powdery
Natural finish
Good amount in the jar to last 4-6 months with regular use
