To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- L'Oreal Nude Magic BB Cream

I love BB creams. Some days I like to forget foundation, but still want to wear something on my face that at least evens skintone. In the past, I had only tried Eastern BB Creams, which are known to be the best that you can get your hands on.
I finally ventured into the world of Western BB Creams, when I needed a replacement, and didn't have the time to wait for delivery. Reluctantly, I purchased L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream in Light.


The product comes in a tube with small nozzle that allows the cream to be squeezed through. I must admit that the novelty of the cream beginning white, but applying tinted, intrigued me enough to try it. Unlike the thick consistency of BB Creams that I have tried in the past, this product was almost a lotion. It spread easily on my skin and absorbed quickly. I had a touch dry finish, but my skin felt hydrated. It does have an SPF of 12, I would prefer something with more sun protection, but I did find that wearing in the cooler months was fine.
Would I repurchase? Probably not, but not because I didn't like the BB Cream. It was more like tinted moisturiser, however, the tint was lovely. My skin appeared dewy with a more even skin tone. I like how light it felt on my skin. The only reason why I most likely wouldn't buy again in the future is only because  I have found a BB Cream that I have fallen in love with, but more on that in the near future :)

    I've tried the L'oreal CC creams :) you know the ones that come in the three different shades for different skin tones. I loved everything except for the fact that they left my skin orange! I looked like an oompa loompa. Such a shame :(
    I think the CC creams are similar to this BB cream :)

      Oh no! It's a shame that the colour didn't suit, Gemma :/

    Your review sounds similar to my experience with my Nude by Nature BB cream... It felt more like a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Ok on a good skin day though!

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...
