To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- Dr Lewinns Refining Toner

Thanks to a Gift With Purchase at Priceline, I was able to try Dr LeWinns Refining Toner.
The blue toned liquid comes in a large 178ml bottle. Unscrewing the lid reveals a "stopper" with hole, so you just simply tip to pour a small amount onto a cotton pad (my choice of application method)
It smells quite refreshing and herbal, thanks to the aloe vera and cucumber extract.
Using this toner is a great way to finish the cleansing process. Any impurities are removed, whilst returning the skin's PH level back to normal.
I love that the refining abilities of this toner are not achieved with the drying effects of alcohol.
The toner is targeted at normal to dry skin tones, however I found that it worked well to remove my skin of oil on my combination type.
Would I repurchase? To be honest, toner is a product I use, but it's not on my radar until I need it. I generally buy whatever is reasonably priced that fits into my skincare criteria of being gentle, yet effective. In short, I certainly wouldn't rule it out, though I probably wouldn't feel the need to seek out this toner in particular.

    That's no good it didn't really blow you away enough to be eager to buy it again. I've seen this plenty of times at Priceline and I've always been tempted to give it a whirl. I think I wanted to try it purely based on it looks :) I think the packaging looks nice.

      To be fair, it serves its purpose. I don't tend to be loyal to a particular toner, well, any beauty product, lol, but am content for a toner to perform its task of removing the last traces of makeup. I pretty much reach for whatever appears to be a decent toner, lol :)

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...
