To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- MSC Lip Balm

Lip balm is one of the products I use the most. I have terribly dry lips, and find myself reapplying lip balm throughout the day. A moisturising formula is obviously important, but I also look for something that smells yummy. I do buy my lip balms from a store, but I find myself returning to online indie stores for my fix.
My most recent lip balm that I powered through was Madd Style Cosmetics Banana Pancakes lip balm. Yes, this product smells as delicious as it sounds! It comes in a simple black twist up tube, typical of most lip balms. I much prefer this packaging to small lip balm pots, that can sometimes get messy. The balms are shrink-wrapped, which I think is important for items that are being posted. The ingredients are natural, consisting of Coconut oil, Candellila wax, Sweet Almond oil, Avocado oil and flavour oil. The lip balm is made in small batches so that you can be sure that you are getting fresh product.
Would I repurchase? Yes! Not only is the formula a perfect consistency that is nourishing to the lips, but is a budget friendly price. And OMG, what a delicious smelling balm, yummmy! The only con is waiting for international shipping, but that just means ordering in advance and maybe some extra goodies too, there's no point placing an order just to buy a couple of items! ;)

      Kat, I had no idea that you love banana flavoured goodies. Well, I hope you enjoy this lip balm as much as I do, I'm sure you'll be wanting to reapply it, well, if you can get past the need for banana pancakes, lol xx

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...
