To Repurchase or not to Repurchase- Elucent Day Moisturiser


Some time ago,  I was given the Elucent Skincare range to trial. I am pleased that I had been given this opportunity, as I previously had not heard of this brand. 
I was happy to see that the Elucent range comes under the "umbrella" of well known and trusted Australian company Ego, so immediately I was expecting a lot from this range. 
Elucent Day Moisturiser contains vitamins B3 and E, both known for their anti ageing qualities. Also within this day moisturiser is the active component of AHAs, which have been proven to be effective at chemical exfoliation. There is a concentration of 4% AHA. Using AHAs omits the need for a manual exfoliator, which I find is too harsh on my skin, and if is massaged into the skin too firmly, can cause damage, especially so with thinner ageing skin. The moisturiser is designed for all skin types, however, it should be kept in mind that AHAs may cause sensitivity, tingling after use is a common reaction. Using AHAs causes the skin to be more sensitive with the sun, but there's no need to be concerned with a sunscreen, because Elucent day moisturiser conveniently SPF 30+, protecting skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays. 
This mosituriser comes in a 95ml pump-pack. It delivers the product in a hygienic manner. The only thing that I didn't like about this packaging, was the amount of product left in the container that was difficult to extract. I hate wastage, so the only way I found of getting the  remains of moisturiser out was by using the pump tube to manually scoop out. 
One pump of this white moisturiser is enough to cover my face and neck. I was surprised with the consistency, the moisturiser is lighter than most moisturisers with sunscreen. This makes for quick absorption into my combination skin. My skin is not left tacky, but plump and hydrated. 
Using Elucent's Day Moisturiser has not resulted in any adverse reactions. I can be confident with this product that what I am putting on my skin not only targets ageing skin concerns, but protects the skin from future damage. Knowing that I am using an active pharmaceutical product for a reasonable price makes me content.

 Would I purchase this moisturiser?? Yes :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
