Skincare Update

This post is long overdue, I can't believe that my last update was in July! Eek, where has the year gone! Since then I have a very different routine, with new products.
AM Routine-
Dr LeWinns Refining Toner
Spritz of Chamomile tea
Palmers Rejuvinating Serum (only just started using)
Onsen Truth Eye Serum and Soothing Eye Cream (loving these!)
Elixia Tinted Multi-V Moisturiser with SPF (this range has now been replaced with an improved formulation)
When I am not wearing foundation, I have been using Garnier BB Cream.
As you can see, I know longer cleanse in the mornings. It made sense to me after reading that if you cleanse well enough at night, you shouldn't need to in the am. I do tone to rid my skin of dead skin cells.

 PM Routine-
One Hand Washes The Other Magic Soap (so great for problematic skin)
Dr LeWinns Refining Toner
Palmers Rejuvinating Serum
Onsen Eye Gel and Cream
Avibon Vitamin A Pommade (only just started using)
I have now put my Clarisonic cleansing brush away and use gauze to cleanse, which gently exfolites the skin.

 Since my last skincare post, instead of applying masks on 2 separate nights, I now apply them on the one night. I have been using Onsen Whitecare Corrective Mask, then Skinfood Volcanic Mud Mask.

 Warning, naked pics ahead..of my face, people! :P

 The improvements that I can detect most is that my skin appears to look clearer, and my under eye area appears more hydrated, with the plumpness giving me the appearance of diminished lines. I would like to see more fading of pigmentation and less darkness around the eyes would be fabulous. Wishful thinking? I hope not!

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...
